This was a great book about hatred within a dysfunctional family. The pace is fast and I read it one sitting. No graphic violence, sex or cursing.
Just a very good story.

5,0 su 5 stelle A psychological thriller that makes your own soul bleed...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 24 luglio 2013

Author Barbara Watkins is a master at describing horrific scenes and emotions of those trapped in frightening situations. She strikes the perfect chord when she tells this horrific tale from the viewpoint of an innocent young girl who is mentally abused and neglected by her mother.

My heart cried for Jennifer as she grows to womanhood; mixed-up, with her soul bleeding through every word and action. She obsesses about why her mother Ella would do this to her, so much so that she doesn't even realize she is making choices that feed her mother's frenzy. Defying Ella doesn't work because her mother "outmaneuvers" her at every turn, costing her friends and all things a young girl needs in order to have a happy life. Jennifer never realizes she might be becoming like her mother in many ways. She tends to make choices that further destroy her innocent soul.

She wants to believe her mother is a rose, as mothers should be, all the while bleeding from the thorns surrounding the rose. Each thorn tends to cut deeper and crueler, yet still Jennifer tries to understand... Then there is her younger brother to worry about...and her struggle to believe in God.

I stressed about the fate of Jennifer, gasping at each turn of events. This is how Watkins always grabs me, binding me to my chair: her excellent pacing and powerful words tear at my own soul, making me care for her characters.

What does Ella do that is so horrible? Why does she always blame the absent father? Is she aware of how she's hurting her children? Did Jennifer do anything to deserve such cruelty? Did her brothers?

But most important: Is there a solution, and if so, how does Jennifer solve it?

That and many more questions will be answered by this prolific author before the stunning ending of  Thorns of an Innocent Soul . Watkins left me gasping and wanting more.

After reading this novella, I awoke the next day with a "bittersweet book hangover," still a bit stressed by the shocking, twisted ending. It takes a powerful book to have that effect on a reader.

Kudos to Watkins for another thought-provoking, exciting reading experience; I haven't gotten over her  Hollowing Screams  yet. Keep your eyes on this author, as she is a force to be reckoned with in the horror field.

Endnote: Although it has nothing to do with the quality of writing in an excellent manuscript, I must mention that I adore the cover and the entire formatting. Check the Amazon "look inside" feature on the cover icon and you'll see what I mean. Thanks to book designer Blue Harvest Creative who put out the best quality books.

This is the second of Barbara's books that I've read (the first being Hollowing Screams). Although less of a horror and more of a thriller focusing on the main characters relationships and dramas, I feel that Thorns of an Innocent Soul is by far superior. Barbara's writing has improved considerably, I loved her use of description & language, it was never wasted and allowed the reader to bond with characters, gaining a clear picture of the settings. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read in one sitting. I was keen to get to the end to know how Jen seeked her revenge. It flowed well and had me on the edge of my seat. A very well written novella, that you won't put down until it's finished. Well done Barbara, I will be recommending to friends.

5,0 su 5 stelle A talent for real horror
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 settembre 2013

I don't think horror need be about something leaping out of a closet to eat your face. this story revealed the kind of horror that comes from the demons lying within people. in this story the main character and her brothers represents those simple choices. the brothers choose to make something of their lives and the main character chose to make herself into what had twisted her.
it is a really intelligent story in that we all know that behind the walls of every home, just about anything can be happening and we know that children are shaped by the kind of treatment they receive from their parents. we see this appearing in the news from time to time and I think the writer really did capture the worst of it.
that is real horror because it is believable and shocking at the same time.
it is a quick read, at times shocking, very intense and you get to the end wanting more

I am a fan of Barbara Watkins and she did not disappoint with Thorns of an Innocent Soul. From the moment the story began I was surprised how much I could relate to the main character. While some of the choices in this book confused me, I continued to read because I was certain they would be explained. In the end, this book left me feeling at peace and not for the reasons you might think. Because amidst the darkness this world has to offer, there’s always a chance to choose the light. Congrats, Barbara! Can’t wait to read your next book!
