Resumen del Editor

After a tragic accident devastates his family, 16-year-old Rick St. James starts his junior year of high school without any friends in a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. When he meets Kevin Vincent, he's too distracted by the promise of new friends to see that Kevin has secrets of his own.

Having created an environment where he's feared and admired by his classmates, Kevin finds pleasure in using his good looks and violence to control and manipulate those around him. Secretly he cruises the gay club scene, turning tricks to earn money so he can party and get high.

As Rick's dad becomes increasingly violent and abusive at home, the two form a surprising and volatile trust. In this battle of wills, their precarious friendship will either keep their lives from blowing up around them or possibly light the fuse that will cause the explosion.

WOW!!!😢

This book had my heart racing. It was hard to keep listening at times but it's worth it

Powerful

I was looking for a gay themed book that wasn't just about sex or coming out. I found it in this, but I found a lot more. This is a powerful look into the world of domestic violence that I think everybody needs to read. Just. E warned, the ending is extremely powerful

loved it!!

this definitely kept me enthralled, just wish the ending could have gone a different way

I hate you

Said with love. But I still hate you. Love your hateful reader. When's the next book?

A Must Read

Although this story was heartbreaking and actually rocked my core in the end, it made me realize that the story depicted is what many suffer through each day. We all want a happy ending, but the truth is that is not always the case. The story emphasizes the fact that we "never truly know what others are going through," that their damaged personalities can be a mask for something deeper. Underlining in the story, it reminded me of Romeo and Juliet, a story of true love, fighting parental acceptance, and the choice to rebel and choose each other. Bravo to the author for not shying away from a message, a story, that many would defer from writing but a story and message we all need to hear...

Powerful and Heart wrenching...

What a powerful story and a powerful message! Not wanting to share too much and spoil the essence of this story, I'll just say that the author's ability to describe the emotional quagmire that exists in certain environments brought back some painful memories and fed into my desire for obtaining a happily ever after. Though the ending was not how I had hoped, it fit with the message of this story. The writing techniques of PT Denys and the expert narration provided by Bryant Sullivan made 11 plus hours fly by. A definite recommend...

moving story

Love, love, love

This book will tear at your heart but it’s absolutely the best book I’ve read in years. I am in love with this storyline and can only hope the author writes more. If you like a dramatic storyline with a character that faces darkness and trauma, you will love this book.
