I didn't think that Sherer gave me enough information to stay involved in this story. I felt like this was a third or fourth book in a series as I was reading it. Then I looked up some information about it and found that it is the first in the series. So now, I am wondering if Sherer is planning on expanding on character and surroundings in future books.
Summary:
Blake Sanders has literally lost everything. He has gotten to the point where he only goes outside in the night to complete little jobs that mean nothing (I'm not completely certain why, it is explained to a certain extent, but not enough for me to really grasp onto the character). A woman is killed on his paper route and somehow he is blamed for it because he has befriended her. Now he has to clear his name and solve the real murderer. Oddly this kinda helps turn his life around.
My thoughts:
I already gave you some of my thoughts. I felt dropped in the middle of something that was already built up. This led to some confusion and feelings that I should know something. I would've liked some more background knowledge and building parts, especially since this is a first novel in a series. It did move very quickly. There are areas of great suspense, but I was confused through parts that just prevented my complete involvement in the story.
