She Has a Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be

By: J. D. Barker

Narrated by: David Aaron Baker, Brian Hutchison

A haunting tale of suspense, rendered with the masterful skill only Barker could muster.

After the loss of his parents, young Jack Thatch first met Stella as a child - this cryptic little girl of eight with dark hair and darker eyes, sitting alone on a bench in the cemetery clutching her favorite book. Gone moments later, the brief encounter would spark an obsession. She'd creep into his thoughts, his every waking moment, until he finally finds her again exactly one year later, sitting upon the same bench, only to disappear again soon after.

The body of a man found in an alley, every inch of his flesh horribly burned, yet his clothing completely untouched. For Detective Faustino Brier, this wasn't the first, and he knew it wouldn't be the last. It was no different from the others. He'd find another just like it one year from today. August 9, to be exact.

Isolated and locked away from the world in a shadowy lab, a little boy known only as Subject "D" waits, grows, learns. He's permitted to speak to no one. He has never known the touch of another. Harboring a power so horrific, those in control will never allow him beyond their walls.

All of them linked in ways unimaginable.

She Has a Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be conjures thoughts of early King and Koontz. A heart-pounding ride that creeps under your skin and will have you listening long into the night.

Awesome!

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is so well written and the narrators made it even more special. J.D. Barker is such an exceptional writer - became a fan of his after reading the Series: Detective Sam Porter which also kept me at the edge of my seat. Enjoy!

Amazing!

This book sucked me in right away. I have never read a book that was so long that I didn't feel like it was dragging. Until now. I was excited it was so long because I wanted it to keep going. I recommend it to a friend, who also had the same experience and loved it.
What an excellent story line. There was some humor sprinkled in and some jaw dropping moments. I hope there will be a second book. Truly one of the best I've read in a while.

XFiles & stranger things vibe

Incredibly well done and entertaining. It takes until the second part to really get into it. I was on the fence at first thinking this was just another member-berry book. But I'm so glad I stuck with it. It's a huge mash up of genres and very well done. Narration is flawless.

Exceptional writing.

Yes it was long but it was as so good too. Rich in story telling. Loved every minute of it and top notch narration

a tale of love and dedication

A great story about the dedication of love and persistent to find the truth.
a great mixture of danger with a little terror.
just my opinion.
