This novel was even better than Jerkins' first. Definitely a writer to watch. The story is so awful, and the children so seduced by the "monster" of a neighbor, that it is quite chilling.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were vividly created and the plot was intense and compelling. It showed how the confused, often flawed, thinking common to many young children can affect a chain of events in so many ways. I had never read this author before, but I just put his latest book on my wishlist and I will be using my next credit to get his first. Can't wait to read more by him!
P.S. VERY CREEPY!!!

Absolutely not what I expected. The author did a good job describing the life and times of Kyle growing up in the mid 1970's in a rural area. The story was alot darker than I had expected, but it also showed the strengths and lengths some people will go to get justice and protect the innocent. But sadly, not everyone can be saved from the evil darkness. I gave it 4 out 5 stars.
