"Sometimes a book makes such a profound impact on you that it's hard to even talk about. On rare occasion a book causes you to dwell on it long after you have closed the pages. Broken Cadence by Ami Violet is one such book.

While this story does have a supernatural element to it, it is not your usual ghost story. There is also a Christian element to this story, but by no means would I consider it Christian fiction. It's a book that is extremely hard to classify and deserves its own unique category. It is thought-provoking, mysterious and emotional. 

... You might even have to put the book aside because it feels altogether too real. 

The most interesting and unique part of this story is the documentary aspect. The author is not content to just tell us about it. She actually writes the documentary as a screen play in the novel. This allows these scenes to come to life as if on a television screen. This is a technique that I have not seen before in a novel and puts it on a completely different playing field from other such books. 

As for the themes in this book, it's important to note that there are mature themes dealt with throughout. The adult themes are never actually detailed; but following along with Delaney, the reader is still able to feel the effects of what has occurred. This, I believe, lends the book to be read by a wider audience. I applaud the masterful craftsmanship this took to leave out the details and yet still enable the reader to feel the emotions of the characters. 

Broken Cadence starts out in such a mysterious fashion that you are left with no choice but to continue reading. The emotions of the characters jump out from the pages causing the reader to become impassioned. ... I would highly recommend it to all who enjoy a good psychological thriller as that's the category into which this book most closely falls. 

... For my part, Broken Cadence was a novel I won't soon forget."
