I read the sample pages and agree with your description of the characters. I am anxious to finish the book! The childhood friendship, solidified through a tragic event, piqued my interest. Thanks for the insightful review of this book!

Hmmmm. This is such a thrilling story and the plot, I dare say is unpredictable. Will Wayne and Phil's friendship be threatened? What parts do Tina and Tyrone play in the lives of these boys, and why did Phil becomes wild?

A wonderful review! This book sounds very intriguing. Thank you for the heads up on the profanity use, that sometimes makes it tough for me to make it through a book also.

Sounds quite interesting. I like stories that talk about friendships that start from childhood. Looking at betrayal, murder, violence and loyalty all in one book is really great. Thanks for the thrilling and suspenseful novel. Thanks for the great review.

It's an intelligent plot. One needs to go through it with caution and focus. The humor seems to enrich the narrative. Brilliant book.

Our past can sometimes come back to haunt us. It is even more interesting when those past mistakes involved our childhood friends.I am a lover of thrillers and therefore this is a must read.

I, too, was turned off by the profanity in the first line of this book, but the character of Phil intrigued me. I don't think I can continue to read it though.

Lively characters with a sense of humor are always a good read. I don't mind a bit of profanity, however, when it's used too much it's not my cup of tea. Great review!

Thanks for the well written review. I am an avid reader of mystery novels and thrillers, but I'm on the fence about this book. I think that at the very least I'll read a sample and see where the author takes me with this one. If the author hooks me I'll continue.
