Review: Broken Worlds by Anitha Robinson

Summary-
When a brutal attack leaves her barely conscious, Kalli thinks that the young man carrying her away is an angel sent to ferry her to Heaven. After all of the abuse and months of homelessness, Kalli welcomes the relief that Heaven would bring. Handsome Ellis, though, turns out to be just as mortal as she is. A kind stranger, Ellis saves her life by taking her to a local clinic to be healed. Once better, Kalli finds herself staying with her unusual rescuer while being monitored constantly by his mysterious family. It s not an ideal situation, but it beats the streets. Now that she s safe and warm and appears to have found someone who cares for her, Kalli assumes the worst is behind her. She couldn t be more wrong. Broken Worlds was the very first Young Adult Winner in the Yummy but Brainy Writing Contest presented by CBAY Books."
 
Review-
This book was only 218 pages but it packed a TON of adventure, romance, and suspense into its pages. Winner of the Yummy but Brainy Writing Contest, Broken Worlds is a sci-fi romance with surprises that the reader will never see coming. A homeless young girl, a hot guy, a missing child. It all adds up to a thrilling story that I did NOT want to end.
Author Anitha Robinson is a fantastic writer with a wonderful imagination. Protagonist, Kalli, is a runaway who was sexually abused at home--a home where her submissive mother lets Kalli's evil aunt rule the house, a home that has no father because Kalli's father ran off and started a new family. And this isn't even the most horrific thing to happen to Kalli. She becomes protector of a young boy, Sammy, who is homeless also. When she is beaten by a stranger, her life falls apart and Sammy's life takes a dramatic turn for the worst also.
Broken Worlds is fun, fast-paced, entertaining, scary, suspenseful, romantic, and just an all-around 4.5 star read!
