At a time when six-year-old Abbie needs love and security, her mother goes to the hospital and never returns. Still distraught, Abbie is passed to whoever will have her. Her new step mother subjects her to unimaginable physical, sexual and psychological torture and delivers her to local paedophiles in the entertainment business. During her single minded pursuit of fame Abbie’s step mother stops at nothing, beating and prostituting her own children.

Just going by that blurb on Smashwords, it seems to me that the market for that book is going to be smaller there than it would on Amazon. You're targeting a specific audience that is interested in reading about child abuse (and sorry, no matter how well-written or important your book might be, it's not a topic that I would choose to buy a book about).
Out of curiosity, I looked at my Smashwords account. I've bought six books from them, haven't read a single one of them and off the top of my head, don't know which ereader they are on - or if they've even made it to the ereader and aren't just sitting in a file on an external drive. By the time I get around to reading them, I won't remember where I got them from and will probably just go to Amazon to put up a review if I feel strongly one way or the other about the books. Some of that might be happening with your reviews.
