Reviews for Helen’s award-winning YA thriller Broken Silence
“I could easily see this transfer onto the big screen; it has all the right elements to make a fabulous psychological thriller movie to keep audiences glued to their seats. It certainly kept me glued to the pages, I read it in one sitting with a short sleep break!” ~ Chapter In My Life
“…perfect for teens who want a gritty, edge-of-your-seat story but I also know that adults will love it too. I’d love to see Broken Silence on book awards lists next year as it is certainly a winner with me.” ~ My Best Friends are Books.
“This is one of the most nail-biting psychological thrillers I’ve read in a while. …the plot was tight, making Broken Silence a tense, dramatic read.” ~ The Sapling.
