She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be
She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be | J D Barker
12 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
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 turning pages long into the night.

Woo wee! I finally finished... again. If you've never read a J.D. Barker novel, you're missing out. This one is definitely like no other. I highly recommend. #Scarlathon2020 #TeamHarkness #cyoreadathon +246 for this one.

Now... I'm crashing! 😴

Started this one this morning for #scarlathon2020 for #teamharkness. This is a re-read for me. I thought I would check it out on audio format. I love J.D. Barker, his work is impressive.

mollyrotondo What did you think of White is for Witching? I own it but haven‘t read it yet 5y
FantasyChick @mollyrotondo It was....weird but kind of good. It had some creepy parts to it but I just kept feeling like there almost wasn't really an actual point to the story and the setting confused me. It read as if it was set in a much earlier time period than it really was. I did think it was unique in the way that one of the POV's was actually the house itself but it was quite hard for me to follow for the most part 5y
mollyrotondo @FantasyChick oh no lol I read her latest book Gingerbread but felt the same thoughts you have on this book. Didn‘t get the point. I was hoping this book of hers would be better. It‘s moved further down my TBR list now. Thanks for your thoughts! 5y

I swear, this man could write a menu and I would rate it 5 stars!

This one is quite a bit different and a slower pace than his previous books but it is just as compelling and hard to put down...even at it's 700ish pages!

Spanning many years, this is a love story, a thriller and a paranormal mind fuck all in one.

Another big win from Barker's twisted mind

It's #selfcare night. After the stress of the holidays, being sick and just plain life and work taking it's toll....it's high time to get back into the care routine and put myself first now and then. An hour in the tub with a bath bomb and an amazing books does wonders! And this book.....freaking amazing!
