MY REVIEW
Ok I really liked this book but I felt at the beginning that he was trying a little too hard at a complex story line . As I started to read , I started to fall in love with his writing and his characters . He takes us on such a rollercoaster ride as you try to figure out what is happening
This book is full of haunted characters . Adam is recovering from a bad breakup and the bad memories of an alcoholic mother. He is fighting hard not to follow in her footsteps. He really wants to become a journalist but things that are stopping him. from a editor that is just one big coward . To his inner demons of his drug use. Until the day he has a meeting with a porn star and a sometimes friend. They drag him deeper and deeper into his drug addiction and the fetishes of closeted me and underage boys, After awhile Adam is taken in by James Wilton and his wife. They become the anchors as he starts to come out of his drug addiction back to sobriety. As he sobers up he becomes embroiled in finding out who a murderer is . He gets involved with vigilantism and as he gets dragged deeper in a web.
Christopher takes us on deep dark tale that is very complex and has complex characters . After I got into it I was riveted. I couldn't put the book down. Its dark and complex . Yes it might get confusing at times but if you just let go and read the way it is written you will come out the other side. You will be basically drug through the pits of hell , but you do come out the other side . Just take the ride, he will take you through some very scary and appalling scenes but trust me they show us a very flawed young man fighting his inner demons . You will actually fall in love with Adam even when he is the depths of hell .
So if you want a complex story that will take you into the depths of hell and bring you out the other side cheering . This book is the book for you , Christopher Rice is an author in his own right, coming out of the shadow of his author mother . He can create a story that is dark and also redeeming in the end . This is the book for you .
