Synopsis:
“This isn’t meant to be a confession. Not in any spiritual sense of the word. Yes, I’m in jail at the moment. I imagine I’ll be here for a long time, considering. But I’m not writing this down for absolution and I’m not seeking forgiveness, not even from myself. Because I’m not sorry for what I did to Rose. I’m just not. Not for any of it.”
Ben Gibson is many things, but he’s not sorry and he’s not a liar. He will tell you exactly about what happened on what started as a simple school camping trip in the mountains. About who lived and who died. About who killed and who had the best of intentions. But he’s going to tell you in his own time. Because after what happened on that mountain, time is the one thing he has plenty of.
This a very dark story and has a lot of twists. I couldn't put it down because I wanted to find out what happened next. I really liked the unique writing style. The characters were well written and I loved the fact that they had flaws. I think that anyone who loves a good mystery would like this book. I was hooked from the beginning. A four star read for me.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I grew up in
Berkeley, California, which is a quirky sort of a place with many wonderful
bookstores. When I was fifteen, my very first job was working in one of those bookstores.
It’s where I would go after school, and I’d
read everything that I could. Back then, some of the books that had the
greatest impact on my life were young adult novels, and now, as an adult, I’ve
found my own passion in writing for teens.
Other passions
of mine include mental health advocacy, social justice, and sports of all
kinds. When I’m not writing or reading (or studying for graduate
school), I’m usually outside running or playing with my family. I
currently live in Northern California with my husband, three kids, and our
menagerie of pets. Life is loud, joyous, and filled with animal hair.
Oh, and in
case you’re wondering, my last name is pronounced keen. I know!
I don’t get it either.

Glad you liked the book!! I would also recommend it to anyone who likes psychological thrillers. I could even seeing it have cross-over appeal to people who read mostly Adult books. It felt like an older read-- I mean, I'm not even 100% sure I "got" all the things I was supposed to get from the characters.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being on the tour!!
Your welcome! I agree I think people who read adult books would like this book as well. Me neither. :)
