Review: I had high hopes in this book and I'm glad that I wasn't let down!

The story revolves around the mystery have what happened the day Daniel disappeared and Jude came home covered in blood. Grace has always wanted to know what really happened that day but everyone refuses to tell her. As she tries to help Daniel, she starts to notice that things really are bad and she starts to find out what happened.

I found that I didn't mind hearing the story from Grace's point of view. She didn't really annoy me or made me want to stop reading. I liked how she wanted to find out what happened but when no one would tell her she went out herself and tried to find the answers. I don't know if I would have been brave enough to do what she did but I'm glad she followed what she wanted to do.

I liked learning of who Daniel really was. The flashbacks that were given in the book helped the reader know more of the life that he had gone through. Even though everyone disliked him and no one wanted to even mention his name, I still wanted to know more of him. He was the boy who had a bad past but who was trying to become someone better.

I'm glad that I decided to get this book. It was something that was already out there but the mythology was totally different and that's something that I really enjoyed! I would totally recommend this book to others who wanted to enjoy a good story!
