| When you read books as part of a book club, you tend to become critical. As you discuss and dissect, it's easy for weaknesses in a book to be highlighted. BUT there are some authors and some books who are so passionate about their craft, the reader i...more | |

| There were some parts of this book that reminded me of the mini-series, Taken. The small town, the hidden stories, the secrets and of course Liam and Adam who stumble on more than they expect to. In a way, it might seem logical that the boys see what...more | |
