4.0 out of 5 stars Coming of Age, June 10, 2000

By	"xenyzx" (USA) - See all my reviews

It's difficult staying independent when you come from a powerful family, when the entire town is afraid of what they can do... ... and it's even more difficult when they need your help.

Chaz Brenchley captures the pain of growing up with connections that you're not proud of, and feeling like a failure because your family doesn't think you measure up.

But very soon we realise that this isn't just criminal connections or the power of money, it's something more sinister. Supernatural talents have always made them invulnerable to the world, and when the youngest members of the family are being systematically killed, everyone is a target.

A taunt fast paced thriller that will have you guessing at every turn, but what makes it special and memorable is the raw emotions of the protagonist, and the development of his character as he searches for an identity of his own and comes to accept his heritage.

Ths is a definite change for fans of The Samaritan, but more rewarding in certain ways. Another winner, affirming Chaz Brenchley as an author who defies the stereotype
