Review

15 year old Carl wakes up on the bank of a lake just in time to see his brother zipped up into a body bag but can't remember a thing. He does remember a girl and knows that the girl is his brother's girlfriend and soon finds out that he had fallen in love with her and his brother, Rob had found out and that is why Rob is now dead....the only time Carl can remember anything is when it rains and than that is when his brother appears to him. This book was thrilling, suspenseful and dark. The writing is good, flows easily and is true to the dark theme of the story. No graphic sex scenes. Recommend for high school age.

Overall Book Score: very good
