The book, 'Broken Silence', was by far one of the best, more realistic books I've ever read. The story is about a girl who grew up being sexually abused by her dad and his friend, from the age of five to thirteen. Through those years Oakley was completely silent and would not talk to anyone until it finally stopped. The story starts in Australia where Oakley, her mom, and her brother, Jasper, moved from England after Oakley had finally gone to the police about the situation at 16. It's four year..more

Thank you for giving survivors of sexual abuse a voice!!!
As a survivor of family sexual abuse myself, I really connected with this story! it was written so well! It seems that the author was writing from personal experience. If not, she really did her research. (although Oakley's thoughts would be difficult to emulate without personal experience). So glad these books were written..it shows that anything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger..and that even from those bad experiences, good..more
I just.. I really don't want to be negative, but I found this even more frustrating of a read than the first book.
The timing was really.. I don't know how to articulate it.. time just seemed to skip ahead in a jarring/ jerky sort of way.
There was more poor grammar and quite a few typos, and I could feel myself getting annoyed with the way things played out.
There was a lot of melodrama around the court case, where it could have been more effective to show the emotions in a different way. It..more

Broken Silence was just not as good as the first book Silence. In Silence you had the layer of Oakley not speaking to anyone. Well since she spoke at the end of the first book there wasn't that aspect. It was just the trial and Oakley and Cole trying to figure things out.
Really the book seemed like a lot of Oakley and Cole hanging out and a lot of Oakley worrying about the trial. But what if they get off? What if they don't go to jail? I know there is a ton of evidence against them, but what if..more
Natasha Preston has become one of my favorite authors ever!! I actually love Broken Silence more than Silence. It goes more in depth of Cole and Oakley's relationship. Crazy how much you can love someone.

Sadly I was not impressed by this sequel. Silence itself was a frustrating read for myself, concentrating on day to day events and rushing the main issue. Unfortunately nothing has changed in this book.Far too much concentration on Oakley and Cole's feelings for one another than on the trial which should have been the priority. The relationship between the two main characters do not reflect the 4 year gap, it reads exactly like the previous book. I did skip over many pages because of this, and I..more

I thought that this was a fast, ok read but it was just nowhere near as good as the first book in the series.
Maybe that is because in Silence there was intrigue as to why she hadn't spoken in over a decade and the book was addictive because you wanted to find out what the secret was.
Although this was a quick interesting read, it was obvious where it was heading. It was clear that she (view spoiler)[ was going to move back to England, end up with Cole and that her dad and Frank would be found g..more

This book is so good. I could not stop reading it. At the beginning of this book I was so entertain. she went back to England. then in the middle I thought I was going to explode with anxiety. they kept making wonder if Frank and max are going to get sent to prison or not. Then the end no words. just writing this and thinking about the end makes me cry. How Cole gets arrested and every one supports him soooooo much. then for a couple minutes I thought that Oakley was going to..more

This follows on from Silence which I quite enjoyed and to be honest this is a good follow up. It's a YA series and a bit predictable and cheesy but it's an easy read that requires zero concentration. There are two more books in the series which I will read at some stage.

This book was incredibly hard to listen to but it was exactly what was needed after book 1.
It is a few years after book 1 and it really gave us the closure needed from book 1.
Really getting to see Oakley as a whole person and happy with Cole is exactly what I needed after such a heavy storyline.
I loved Oakley’s brother and how protective he was/is. I just wished the narrators hadn’t made him sound so whinny.
Other than that the narration is fantastic.

This book broke my heart, but also taught me how love can help people find their voice. In the first book, Silence, the story is about a young girl named Oakley who was sexually abused until she was 13 years old. Due to the abuse, she stopped talking in general, so she communicated by shaking her head and nodding.
In this book, it has been 4 years since she left for Australia. She is returning to testify at we father and his friend's trial after she confessed that she was abused. She has to face..more
Just like the first book in the sequel, Broken Silence by Natasha Preston is an amazing love story with a big twist. This book is about the trial of Oakley’s dad and his friend for sexually harassing Oakley when she was little. This book is quite different to the first one, as Silence (book #1) was written around Oakley and Coles thoughts, whereas this book is more focused around what is happening and direct speech.
The book starts of with Oakley with her mom and brother in Australia after they h..more
I just found the whole thing a bit daft im afraid..oakley and cole seemed to still be acting like they were 12, professing they loved each other but then not getting round to actually getting together for hsaf the book. why?! then there was no duscussion of what would happen after the trial, even though cole was buying a house. *spoiler alert* when the evidence came to light after having just been mentioned, I cringed..really?! hiw cheesy can you get! and cole being arrested was so unrealistic..more

Having read Silence book #1, I made sure I had the others on my Kindle to read in between Thurso Book club reads. It follows on from book 1 with the build up to the trial of Max, Oakley's dad and Frank, his depraved cohort who are facing several charges of sexual abuse. The harrowing topic is dealt with gently but firmly, leaving no doubt in the reader's mind that these men are beasts, who must be put away, removed from society, for as long as possible. The story races then to the end everyone p..more

This book is the best book I have ever read in my entire life. I am a person who doesn't enjoy sappy love stories where the girl gets the boy etc. But this book blew me away in ways I never expected. The story of why Oakley never speaks (can't say why or it will ruin story) and how much her best friend Cole proves his love to her. I would sit and read this book and hours and hours would pass and I wouldn't even realize how much time I've been reading. It was so easy to get wrapped up in this boo..more

Awesome sequel!
Overall, again I really love this story! Extremely loved the first book, and this 1 absolutely gave Oakley's story a happy ending. I really wish there weren't so many typos, grammatical, spelling, and context, but they were somewhat easy to ignore! I look forward to more amazingness from Natasha Preston!
HOLY CRAP READ THIS NOW JSOQKAHWUAJSHHAAJHSHWJWJ
A little slower and not as intense as the first book but I really enjoyed seeing where Cole and Oakleys journey would lead them. I am happy with how the story ended. I gave it 4 stars just because the book was a little slow, but I enjoyed the story overall.

This book was very interesting to read with all the ups and downs the main character faced throughout her life and of how she overcame everything tossed her way.

The second book in the Silence series; Broken Silence, was every bit as emotional, if not more so, than the first.
Excerpt:
“Even the things that look broken beyond repair have a chance at being whole again. It just depends on how much you want to rebuild it.”
Oakley, after having suffered the worst of betrayals by people she had loved and trusted, saw her return from Australia, and back to Cole. Their relationship seeming like the four previous years had never happened. Absence definitely made t..more

O.M.G!!!!!! I finished this book in a week, and I simply couldn't put it down!!!! It was soooooooo good, and I would recommend anyone that loves thrillers and mystery books.
However, I feel Like there is more to end. I would still like to know how Oakley and Cole end up with the baby, her reactions to Frank leaving prison, and so many more!
A Truly strong and Relatable Book! Completely fallen in love with this book

Good book. It was an admirable love story and it was cool to see Oakley grow as a character.
I read this book because it is part of a little series and I read the first one. I liked the first one a lot so I figured I would like the second one. I was right. Oakley had moved to Australia but decides she is going to go back to England for the trial, even though she doesn’t have to. She hasn’t talked to Cole since they left and she is scared that he moved on. I like that she doesn’t know that he misses her a lot and he’s super excited to see her again. I really like that they picked up righ..more
I read the book Broken Silence by Natasha Preston. I thought that this book was okay. It seemed to drag on in some parts. I really liked the love story that it had. I liked how we got to see Oakley and Cole reconnect after four years of not seeing each other.
Plot:
This book started out with Oakley and her family living in Australia. They had moved out there after they found out what Max had did to her. Oakley spent the beginning of the book preparing for her trial. She was terrified to see her d..more
