Holy Alabama!!! This book is one heck of a thrilling ride! Elenore is young girl who has suffered abuse her whole life thanks to her father. Her life is a living hell. The town and the justice system have failed her. I cried tears for her. The author describes her suffering and pain so well that you are able to put yourself in her traumatic world and almost feel her wounds. The twist at the end I never saw coming! And this was only book 1 of 3! The chapters were short and the writing flowed together freely. I couldn’t put this book down! Ditter Kellen is a new author for me and I can’t wait to read her other 2 follow-up books. A 5-star read for me!

This one was a tough one to get through, but I couldn’t stop and read it in about 2 days…

Trigger warnings don't bother me so much unless it's children and brutal. I will admit this one chocked me up a bit and my eyes might have teared a time or two. What a strong book this is. Deep and dark for sure. Elle drives you nuts but also breaks your very being knowing the horror she survives.
I love Evan and his fight to help a young woman he doesn't even know because that's the right thing to do. I hope to see more of him in the following books.
A phenomenal read, but not for the faint of heart. Beware of the triggers before diving in.

I am Elle by Ditter Kellen
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Please check your trigger warnings before starting this book. Elenore Griffin, born on a small Alabama farm, is trapped in a living nightmare orchestrated by her own father. The system, meant to protect her, fails, leaving her vulnerable to unimaginable horrors. Sold into a brutal world, her suffering only intensifies. As her tormentors vanish without a trace, suspicion falls on the local authorities, complicit in her abuse. The novel explores themes of resilience, the fight for survival, and the quest for justice, offering readers a gripping and intense narrative.
This is a 4 part series. Part 4 has not been released yet. You might as well get all 3 available. I devoured them all in two days. I could not put this book down. By the end of the first chapter, I was ready to gather a posse to go save her. The author's writing is so compelling that I felt like I knew Elenore and was protective over her. I wanted to see her survive. I wanted to see her thrive. The cliffhanger at the end of book one left me speechless. I started the second in the series immediately!
