Break the Code of Silence by Brian Claypool was a short and important read. Claypool has been fighting against child abusers in the court-room for years and has now graciously shared his knowledge on how to keep our children safe. Very useful information and a must-read.

Brian Claypool tells and horrifying detail the night he went to the Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas and a terrifying moments afterwards he goes on to tell us about court cases where he is championed the voiceless been a hero to those most would quietly ignore. He is a frequent guest on talkshows and news outlets from the stories he tells in the book you say he easily makes friends what is the most and biggest accomplishment is being a father to his daughter. Whenever he does anything she is always at the forefront of his mind and throughout the book you can tell how much he really loves her. I found this book truly entertaining and although this is a book about Brian Claypool‘s wife it is also a book about True Crime hey and an advocate anyone would be lucky to have. I love the way he tells the story and it seems he has a great neck for doing so. I can’t recommend this book enough I loved it and found it a book I didn’t want to stop reading not to mention things in the book will linger on in your mind long after you’ve closed it this is a definite five star read. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

This is a tough topic, and I the author is definitely qualified to write about it. He describes a lot of examples of how children can be abused, and it's always very sad, but he also gives several advices and things we as adults should do if we know something weird is going on around children. Some of them may seem too obvious, but that's kind of the point, sometimes we normalize situations that are potentially dangerous and then it's too late to do anything.

I think his testimony about the Las Vegas shooting was unnecessary, though, as he was an adult at the time and he wasn't even with his daughter. Perhaps he just wanted to tell the story again, and I would understand if it wasn't a book about child trauma.

I suggest a bit more editing because there are some typos and grammar errors that have to be corrected.

A fabulous quick read! Fantastic.

Naomi wakes up in a hospital. All her memories are gone. She just remembers her first thoughts being something like “selfie… Botox…”?! Everything else is gone. She suffered from severe head trauma after taking quite the fall of a balcony.

Then there is her “husband Joel” who swipes her away in a hurry from the hospital, saying that they are not taking good enough care of her. Naomi does not remember being married to Joel. Joel does not give away a lot, in order to “not overwhelm her”. But what he tells her does not make sense.

Naomi is having doubts. Who is she? Is she really married to a man she does not recognise? Why does Joel tell her that she is in danger?
She slowly figured out that she is an influencer on social media. Is her life really as perfect as she portrayed it to be?! Will she get her memories back and what is the last lie she told?
I had a hunch about the ending from an early start. The culprit creeped me out early on. But still, this books had twist and turn. Some subtle, some not.

I might have read stories similar to this. But I liked this one. I liked the social media influence. Even though I am hardly on social media, I find these kind of stories really intriguing. What all we give away on a little screen, could lead to dire consequences. How much should we really tell?

We get Naomi’s POV and see her struggle to remember. We feel her confusion and her emotions. I liked the way she was portrayed. I think she was a fantastic character, at least after her injuries.

For once the heroine knows to get the hell out of there and does not wait for her captor to take up! Ten points alone for that! Though it’s maybe slightly unrealistic that she walks miles and miles through the desert/highway barefoot and in a robe. But the story was that good,
I don’t even care for that!

I was reading this one fairly quickly, I did not want to put it down. I was really absorbed into the story. Not one boring moment.
