Haunted by a photographic memory, I couldn’t escape the worst night of my life.
The blood they shed.
The pain they endured.
The evil that still walked free.
It was all I saw. Those memories, my childhood—the images.
Silenced and scarred.
But nothing lasts forever.
Torment turned to blinding rage. Hate sought revenge, which pursued death.
Then there was life.
The moon.
Rylee Anderson.

Author Bio
Leddy Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped.
She often calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes of her characters.
She is now a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of females.
The decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.

MY REVIEW:
Silenced is an emotional journey of a story. The MC will grab your heart and you will be so completely invested in how everything ends up, that nothing will matter until you finish this book. That is how awesome this book was for me.
The book starts with a boy named Killian seeing something so terrifying and witnessing something so horrifying that this alters his life forever and he is left with emotional and physical scars from this. He meets a neighbor girl, Rylee. These two find peace with each other and a deeper relationship develops and from there a more romantic relationship develops. Rylee keeps Killian centered and calm whereas for Rylee, Killian is it for her. He is the love of her life and she would do anything for him. The bond between them seems unbreakable but what seems isn’t always the case. Choices have to be made. When those choices are made, those choices break even the strongest connections that have been made. Heartbreak happens, souls may break apart. As years pass, Rylee and Killian have to decide for themselves if what they have is truly worth it.
There are some deeply moving moments in this story. There are some moments that I wanted to throw my kindle or grab my tissues or turn my fan on and cool down from the heat that Killian and Rylee had going on .There are so many things going on, so many emotions—pain, defeat, anger, hopelessness, hope, pleasure, passion, angst, joy and above all , love. This isn’t a simple story but one filled with many emotions about a broken hero and the woman who loves him, all facets of him. Their love story is one that you shouldn’t miss out on.
My rating: 4.7 stars ****
