o-O Broken Plaything is a prequel to Wind-up Toy, set 3 weeks after the conclusion of it. Definitely one of my very favorite books of the year and Simone is one of my very favorite bad boys ever.hear he even gets his own fan mail. My very first read from this writer savant. Holy Shit WOW!! Which is EXXXACTLY the way I started my review for his amazingly mind blowing Wind-up Toy. Now please excuse me while I go wash my eyes out with rubbing alcohol. I am looking forward to more great tales from David Owain Hughes and Simone. What makes Simone tick? What event(s) from his past make him the twisted necroincestopheliac (yes, I made that word up) that he is? What this author has masterfully done is taken this despicable character and made him the victim – it just isn’t Simone’s fault.

In Wind-Up Toy: Broken Plaything, we get to delve a little bit further into his psyche. It crosses so many lines and pushes every button imaginable.ĭavid Owain Hughes is everything that I love about the direction of independent publishing, the bravery to put something out there that will offend, that will drive a semi through the barriers and do it all with a thoughtful, imaginative story that works. Is it horrotica, pycho-sexual deviance, or misunderstood people with evil toys? You cannot simply label this sort of book. I am going to say right off the bat, David Owain Hughes is an immense talent in his genre I just don’t know what to call that genre. It should either scare you off or intrigue you. David Owain Hughes is everything that I love about t What the hell was that?!

It crosses so many lines and pushes every button imaginable.

What the hell was that?! This book comes with a warning.
