I loved “The Resident”, an excellent thriller that kept me on the edge.
I was happy when I was approved for the ARC of “The Rule” but I wasn’t expecting an adrenaline-fuelled and emotionally charged experience.
I cried a lot, I laughed and rooted for the good/bad guy.
Please don’t think this is a sappy book, there’s not an ounce of sentimentality in this story as it’s gritty, fast paced, and the growing tension keeps you on the edge.
But it’s the story of common people involved in something unexpected and totally out of their experience or comfort zone.
I volunteered in charities, and I met people like Daniel, Scott and Gemma. They fight every day, and they fight because they love their son/daughter. Daniel in the book is a lovely and happy guy but his father and mother have to face the reality that he will never be independent, he will be their baby as long as they live.
It’s called love and it’s what makes them go on.
The author did an excellent job in describing the psychological reasons behind Scott’s actions: he’s a good honest man but he loves his family and wants to fight for their welfare.
Scott and Gemma are alone in their battle and Scott will do everything that is needed even he doesn’t think it’s right.
He’s a great character and I rooted for him hoping for the best.
Daniel is sweet character, I liked how the author created a realistic character and there was nothing pietistic in his descriptions. His characters reminded of boys I met when I was volunteering.
I also loved Hannah, her grief and her desire to redeem herself after some errors.
The author is a master storyteller and builds the story involving you in the events that bring to the cathartic final part. There’s blood, violence and despair.
I was moved by Scott and Hannah battles, but the last chapter make me cry buckets as it was bitter-sweet, a sort of closure and start of something new.
I don’t know if I wrote something meaningful, it was a sort of flow of consciousness and I find hard to be logical, I hope I was able to make you understand because I loved this story so much and wasn’t able to put it down.
Please read it, take your time and enjoy this story, I strongly recommend it.
