A Girl Who Will Not Break By Happy Reader Prologue: An unnamed woman, alone in an elegant hotel room, orders champagne and lines up the bottles from the mini-bar along the side of the tub. She pops a bunch of pills, steps into the warm water, sits back and drinks everything in sight. Then she reaches for the razor.The story starts with Lucy Reynold's eighth birthday party. We learn her 16 year-old sister Ronnie is beautiful and mean, her mother is loving and subservient, and her father is violent. Next we're taken to Lucy current day, 17 years-old and a student at Lakes University, Ontario: "She was already accustomed to living on her own. She had left her home when she was fifteen and travelled the world before moving to the school. It was one of the solemn conditions she imposed on her father. He'd provide funds for her nomadic lifestyle for the last two years. She, in turn, would commit to 'settling down' and continuing with a higher education."Her roommate, Emma, cajoles Lucy into attending a formal dance with a group of friends. Afterwards, instead of going back to the school, the limos carry the girls out into the woods. Lucy and Talia are pulled out of the limos which race off. Lucy is afraid, but not enough to lose her head. Caped and hooded figures surround them, and eventually chant the rules of the Seven, including "We do not accept the weak."What does THAT mean? How much of yourself would you sacrifice to be "in"? Lucy is going to find out the answers to both questions.Several times, a chapter travels back to Lucy's earlier years. Her history is gradually revealed and we learn why she was chosen for the Seven. We also find out about the woman in the hotel room. Nirina Stone's writing style is good. Not flashy, but good. There were two places where "What Doesn't Kill Us" fell a little flat for me. The plotting is the big one. Except for a reveal near the end, which was a surprise though I struggled with its stretch in believability, the plot did not seem original to me. My interest sagged at the beginning, what with the capes and cowls and chanting.Secondly, I hope I don't sound pompous, but amorality annoys me in a protagonist. Wanting revenge I understand, but that doesn't mean I would always root for a heroine who embraces it to a drastic level. The book may have been stronger if Lucy had visibly struggled with the "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" idea, or recognized it in terms of the Seven. Even if she had eventually acquiesced to the Seven's nature, it would have shown her as more multi-dimensional if she had had a struggle before making her decision. However, I want to mention that this book may be the start of a series, so future books could take Lucy in different directions.I received a free copy of "What Doesn't Kill Us" for review.Happy Reader

A very awesome book cover By Tony Parsons It’s Lucy Reynolds (8, 3rd grade, aka Floocy) birthday & Ronnie Reynolds (Sr., Lucy’s sister) & her friends pull a prank on her.Fast forward Lucy (17) attends Lakes University (girls only) in 500 Lakes, Ontario.Emma Larkin (aka Lemon) was her roommate.King George University was having a formal dance.Badger (f) gave Lucy Reynolds some pills.Brad asked Lucy to dance.Later the hooded Seven (secret society) members had come for Lucy. There were 3 tents with bonfires all a-glow.Talia gave Lucy the introductions.Detective Johnson & detective Nichols came to ask Lucy a few questions.Talia Jones is missing.Later Lucy is initiated into the Seven.Those present were: Boomer (f, 50+, Dean Lakes University, ex-lawyer), Sagan (f, Singapore, Accountant, Sally), Lambda (f, owner TV Networks, Newspapers) Fontaine (f, Pamela, real estate, brewery owner), Jag (f, retired Army, Detective) & Badger (f, PhD, Chemistry, Billie).Later Lucy (aka Foxy) meets Whiskey (f, 60+, former Judge, Anne).What past deep dark secrets would Lucy (21) share with the group?Who is Mac?Ronnie (nee Reynolds) gets married to Alex Daniels.Adam Daniels (5, Ronnie’s son) was kidnapped.How did these scenarios turn out?What will happen to Dean Nathan Rickett (King George U, Boomer’s husband)?I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.A very awesome book cover, cool map, great font & writing style. A very well written mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great secret society mystery movie, or mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.Thank you for the free Goodreads; Author; PDF bookTony Parsons MSW (Washburn)
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good pacing and interesting characters By Cy Wyss What Doesn't Kill Us is the story of Lucy, both past and present. Lucy has suffered through an abusive childhood and is largely alone in college until a mysterious group solicits her for membership: the Seven. The Seven is a secret society of powerful women who take Lucy under their wing and give her all she needs: friendship, money, and growing confidence. The only thing which mars Lucy's induction into the Seven is that the other woman who was a potential candidate disappeared. Only one of them could have been chosen, so it is "convenient" for Lucy (although no one suspects her). What happened to her? The answer shadows much of Lucy's time in the Seven. Finally, however, that mystery is eclipsed by another deeper one. What is membership really based on? All of the members seems to have suffered trauma, but that is not enough. There is a deeper secret that binds these women, a horrifying one.I liked What Doesn't Kill Us. The pace is good and the flashbacks deepen the story without being intrusive. The final mystery is held close until the end and came as a near surprise to me, which is always nice in a book. The women of the Seven are interesting characters, all distinct and compelling. I wasn't that impressed by Lucy's erstwhile boyfriend, but that is a minor point. The book also lost a star for me because it is really more on the straight-up fiction side of things than a genre piece (most of the real estate is about Lucy's life and times), whereas I was expecting more of an action-oriented thriller. This is a fairly minor qualm and I debated whether to even dock a star for it. In the end, the truth is, I liked What Doesn't Kill Us and you will too.
