Okay, so, this book really had a little bit of everything in it. And while it started off a bit slow, after a short bit, it got to the point where I couldn't put it down. In fact the way the story was slow makes a lot of sense, because it is spent with the characters, waiting on any scrap of news or clue as to what happened to the missing boy, Chris. The author kept me guessing for most of the way through the book, something that I really enjoy when reading. Every character in this book had their own cross to bear, their own sins - their own demons. Just like in real life, there usually aren't going to be cut and dried "bad guys". That doesn't mean that the people in this book that are the bad guys don't do terrible things. They do, and while you may feel some sympathy for them after certain facts come to life, they still do things that make them the bad guys. Not only that, there is a character that you probably won't like. I didn't. Jessie didn't. But in the end, along with Jessie, you will realize that maybe that person isn't quite the horrible person they've been made out to be. Maybe they do deserve a little leeway and understanding of their own situation.
