What measures would you take to avenge the ones you love? How far would you go for redemption? Who would you turn to when you can’t trust anybody?

"This reminds me of a streetwise Catcher in the Rye, the same kind of innocent narrative style. Grabs you from the start and holds you all the way. No wasted words, no appeals for sympathy and no whining from a character who has the right to whine a little. Great story."

"A great forceful story that is well told."

"Excellent story-telling and gripping narrative. This really draws you in quickly."

"So well crafted, visual and completely well-rounded. I was quite simply blown away by the quality of writing."
