Synopsis: 
Ella doesn’t remember what it’s like to be human - after all, she’s lived as a doll for thirty years. She forgets what it’s like to taste, to breathe…to love.
She helps the professor create other dolls, but they don’t seem to hang around for long. His most recent creation is Lisa, a sly goth. Ella doesn’t like Lisa. How could she, when Lisa keeps trying to destroy her?
Ella likes the professor’s granddaughter though, even if she is dying. Gabby is like Ella’s personal bodyguard. It’s too bad the professor wants to turn Gabby into a doll too, depriving her of an education…depriving her of life.
With time running out and mad dolls on the rampage, Ella questions her very existence as she unearths the secrets buried in her past; secrets that will decide whether Gabby will befall the same fate…

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Cover: So very creepy! It gives me the chills just looking at it. Also, it reminds me how much I hate dolls.

Plot: I’ve never even heard about something like this before. It’s shocking and scary to even think about. The storyline is fantastic and thought out very well. With an intriguing storyline, readers will not want to put down Broken Dolls until they discover who the professor really is.

Overall: This was terrifying to think about. I get that it’s for a good cause and all but becoming a doll just freaks me out. It’s just creepy. This was actually a really good novel. It’s a perfect read for Halloween.
