Synopsis
Two years ago Brenna did the
unthinkable. She witnessed the aftermath of a murder and accused her only true
friend – the first boy she ever loved – of being a killer.
Now sixteen, Brenna returns to Oklahoma only
to discover that Issac ‘White Bird’ Henry isn’t in juvie. The half-breed
outcast is in a mental hospital, frozen in time, locked in his mind at the
worst moment of his life. When Brenna touches him, she’s pulled into his
hellish vision quest, seeing terrifying demons and illusions she doesn’t understand.
Feeling isolated and alone, Brenna’s up
against the whole town: targeted by bullying former classmates, a bigoted small
town sheriff and a tribe who refuses to help one of their own.
But when Brenna realises she’s as trapped by
the past as White Bird is, this time she won’t turn her back on him. She’s the
only one who can free them both. Even if she has to expose her secret – a
‘gift’ she’s kept hidden her whole life.
my Thoughts (review)
The plot, the characters, even the ass ones,
the...the... everything in the book was absolutely awesome.
So seeing her best friend holding a dead girl
in his arms, rocking her back and forth while whispering and holding the knife
that killed her in his hands, Brenna sent her only friend and boy she ever
loved into the cops. But then what would you do?
Two years later she is forced back to the town
her family left after she was blamed for something she reported, and he was put
into a mental institution.
But things weren’t what she thought and even
while being threatened and hurt by those who were friends to the dead girl,
Brenna is the only one that can help her friend out of whatever it is he’s
trapped in, and solved the crime, who really killed the queen bee?
That is something that left me shocked; though
it was obvious when you look back on it the book, just not while your reading
it.
It was so good that once I finished it all I
wanted was to pick it up again, read the thing over, and that has never
happened before. It was just a great great
book, really should be read.
Others of her work: a Sweet
Justice series.
