review 1: This was a well written story about 15-year-old JJ who lost his parents in a fire a decade before, in an unsolved arson case. Not only is it a great characterisation of a (rightfully so) angst-ridden teenage boy, but there are also a lot of other heavier concepts that are brought up -- for example, getting into criminal trouble, not caring much about grades or school, not wanting to talk about feelings of depression, and teenaged alcoholism. I thought the author dealt with all that really well while including it into a YA mystery novel. Some light romance while JJ discovers his sexuality, but not heavy-handed and fit really well with the rest of the plot. Great supporting characters too. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
review 2: Again YA is not my preferred readi... moreng but thanks winning a free copy I decided to give this a try. I was not disappointed.This is a pretty emotional ride. JJ will break your heart while he struggles to come to terms with what life has thrown at him. Watching him and McKinley slowly bond was sweet, watching the hiccups in their relationship was all to real.I would say this was not so much a M/M romance so much as a mystery where the main characters happen to be gay. There is no big coming out or even much soul searching in that regard. This story focusses on JJ and his emotional problems and the mystery of who started the fire. This story certainly had me involved. Not least with Darryl, she had me pretty mad throughout the story. As a mother and a supposedly best friend of JJ's mum she left a lot to be desired. Seriously really wanted to shake that woman. Nasty spiteful selfish bitch.But Maggie was pretty darn perfect, just wish she had taken both kids in. A much better role model.Ben was another great addition, and I would certainly love to read his full story hint hint Overall a very well told story that I enjoyed and am glad I won lol. less
