BLURB:

When Jamie was five, his family was murdered. The murderer had never been found.

Now, at twenty two, his life is still in danger, but Jamie stopped caring a long time ago. Meeting strange, secretive Kyle breaks his gloomy routine.

He finds himself intrigued. He finds himself wanting.

He is ready almost for everything, just to stay with Kyle… even if Kyle himself might be the reason for the endless nightmare that is his life.

REVIEW:

Well…where do I start? I applaud Ms. Morgan on publishing her first book. That said, it doesn’t really read like a first book, particularly since is it a self-published book on Amazon. I may have seen a couple very tiny editing issues, but it was far above many of the self-published books we see from time to time. This one had some time taken on it, and was well edited. Good job!

Now to the story. This is going to be a hard one to review without giving spoilers, but I’ll do my best! Jamie, as the blurb said, was only five years old when someone killed his father, his mother, and his beloved little sister. All of this happened shortly after Jamie’s arm was broken in a strange altercation with a teacher at his school.

Over the years there have been other strange occurrences and death seems to be following Jamie. Now suddenly Jamie has been offered a room in a house owned by a strange man named Kyle, who seems to be keeping a secret or maybe just outright lying about the reason for his generosity.

What will happen as the story progresses and Jamie finds out the truth? No spoilers, you will have to read it for yourself!

I liked this story. I thought it was above average for a first time book, and was surprised more than once while reading it at the sharp plot and storyline twists and turns. Frankly I had no idea what was happening until the very end of the book! Well played Ms. Morgan! Based on my liking it and the above average writing in the book, I’m going to rate it 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.  Honestly, if this book had had another 80-100 pages and the characters had been a little more fleshed out, I think it definitely would have been a 4.0 or 4.5.  Hopefully the author will add a little more to future works.  But that is just my opinion!  Some of you might love it at this length!

I look forward to reading further works from this author.
