Yes, spoilers. I warned, and you do whatever you feel like doing with that little piece of information.
Vince and Eric were best friends when they were kids, and when they were fourteen, Vince admitted to Eric he's in love with him. His friend laughed in his face. In Eric's defense: if my best friend confessed to being in love with me at that age, I'm not sure my reaction would have been much better. I didn't even know the meaning of the word 'love' and let's be honest: how many kids More...

Can’t you see the way I’m hurting inside? What will it take to make you feel it too? This hurt, this pain, this hate ?
Vince is a social outcast. He looks different, he acts different and he thinks differently from the people around him. And he has no friends. Not since he was 14, when his best friend in the world, Eric, betrayed him. Now Eric wants back in his life and the lonely but safe cocoon Vince has made for himself is in danger of breaking. But Vince is desperate to hold on to More...

Vince and Eric were best friends since they were very young. When they were around 14, Vince professed his love to Eric. Stunned, Eric just laughed. Vince was hurt, and became goth. Their lives drifted apart. A meeting in the street at night during their senior years (when they both were doing chores) was their first contact in more than three years. Eric tried to amend their relationship, but Vince kept rejecting him. Despite him still loves Eric. This kept happening for more than a year, with

Oh, wow, this must be the darkest story from J.M. Snyder that I read so far. Vince is so full of anger and hatred due to the pain that he feels after what Eric did to him (laughed at Vince when the age of 14 years old, Vince told Eric that he loved that best friend of him). I often find myself worry with what he thinks of Eric (the numorous things he wants to do to make Eric feel hurt and in pain). But at the same time, I know that Vince only thinks that due to the pain. Eric on t More...

This book turned out to be a disappointment for me. It started out pretty good. I was interested in Vince's thought process. I wasn't bothered by the "darkness" at all. In fact, perhaps that is what made the mood of the book interesting for me. About half way through the book it got really difficult for me to read. I was tired of hearing about Vince's depressed moods. I was tired of reading Vince's ongoing monologue of obsession. I wanted to read action. I wanted him to do some

Vince is, I'll admit, unlike most anything you've written before. It's hard edged and sharp. Very edgy and angry and I was completely enchanted with it. I've never been much for flowery romances, where the characters fall into each others arms and everything that ever happened is forgiven. This story didn't do that; in fact, it did the opposite. It left you with a real sense that, even when you're young, you have to live with and pay for the mistakes you made. This, in my opinion, made it so muc

Another story with teen characters by J.M. Snyder. Vince and Eric were best friends. But when a guy begins to become a man, at 14 years old, then Vince discovers that his feelings for Eric are not of friendship. He is in love with his pal and he dreams the love is mutual. And he is careless and daring and he declares his love expecting to be declared back... but Eric laughs, true, it was an histerical laught, but a 14 years old guy is frail, and easily scared, and for Vince is like a stab in the

Vince is a very different read from what I am used to. It's one of Snyder's darkest novels.
Vince, the main character, is somewhat of a social outcast, but that's a choice that he's made for himself. Because of a memory from his past, he doesn't form close relationships with anyone and generally likes to keep to himself. He doesn't even feel a connection to his family. Vince is a very realistic and relatable character. However, he also has a lot of dark sexual fantasies born from the More...

Wow...So much pain. So much anger. At 17, that is Vince's whole world. He was hurt so badly by the one person who he loved the most. Eric his best friend, betrayed him, cut him deep. And now all Vince can see is red rage, but Eric wants back in his life. He bides his time and slowly works on thawing out the ice he put around Vince's heart.
This story is very dark and Vince's fantasies regarding Eric at times went too far for me. But it was an emitional read with an heartfelt reckoning.

Vince and Eric have been friends from birth. Early in their teens, Vince realizes two things - he is gay and he is in love with Eric. As you can imagine with most teens, when Vince bares his soul to Eric, Eric did not react the way Vince had envisioned. This colored both of their high school lives and relationships as they both went their separate ways.
Vince's pain and anger was so deep and real in this book - it was honestly hard to read. At one point I thought it was too over t More...

This was an unexpected little gem. It just goes to show that the better books are little self-published diamonds like these. It baffles me how shit like the House of Night series can get massive publishing contracts, yet fantastic and emotional books like these are rare and unique finds.
Makes me truly appreciate the internet and this website for else I would have never found it.
Go buy it, just do it. It's hard to be disappointed.

It certainly isn't what I thought it was going to be... I'm enjoying it so far!! I'm not really in to the "erotic" romance novels gay or straight so we'll see how this goes!
Okay... now I'm finished... Let me first say that I loved the story. The "erotic" portions weren't overly done (no sex scenes) which I appreciated. The writing was fantastic, especially for it just being a proof - I think I only found two gramatical errors. Maybe there were more but I was More...

I thought this was a very interesting story.. I relly liked Vince, and all his thoughts.. Even the brutal ones.. I could feel how hurt he was, and how much he really wanted to hate Eric.. His best friend who hurt him so much when they were younger..
I really liked it, and I think the author wrote a perfect "leave them wanting more" ending to this book..

Wow! This was an very emotional read. Vince's emotional visions are down right scary and I loved every minute of it. Love and betrayel, how does one get past it when the aftermath is what creates who you are? When the wound it causes festers and never heals?

Pretty good young adult m/m story about two guys who've been best friends since they were little... until, when they're 14, one confesses he's in love with the other and gets laughter in return.

I loved this one from J.M. Snyder, but Vince's nigh constant bloody & violent revenge fantasies grew tiring. He's hurt and angry. I get it already. Otherwise, a stellar story.

This was a hard story to read. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. Vince's anger and his pain are so real, and that's what made it difficult for me. I would love to see how this relationship grows.
