Scary, Thriller,
Rebellious
When Chris Buckley’s parents split, he sides with his
mother, and they move to Solitary to live in his uncle’s cabin. In the cabin,
it appears that Chris’s uncle walked out of his life without taking any of his
possessions. At school, as the new kid, Chris attracts attention of girls and
the resident bully, while strange things go on all over town. When he meets
Jocelyn he looses his heart, but she suggests that things are not what they
seem.
This book is written from the point of view of a teen-aged
boy, making it seem as if the reader falls into his life and thoughts. Chris is full of anger at his mother
for her constant drinking and his father for his method of pushing his faith.
Chris is definitely not someone who follows others easily. The gloom of the
town hangs over the whole book, as Chris tries to find answers and save the
girl. Interesting read, but definitely the first step in a series. There is no
resolution of what Chris believes. This would be good choice for those who
enjoyed Twilight, as the feeling is
similar, but with a Christian bent.
