At the End of the Road
Author: Grant Jerkins
A red dirt road on a sweltering day. A car loses control, flips through the air. A woman crawls out, bloody and battered, staggers toward the boy on the bike, the one she swerved to avoid.

Absolutely not what I expected. The author did a good job describing the life and times of Kyle growing up in the mid 1970's in a rural area. The story was alot darker than I had expected, but it also showed the strengths and lengths some people will go to get justice and protect the innocent. But sadly, not everyone can be saved from the evil darkness. I gave it 4 out 5 stars.

This novel was even better than Jerkins' first. Definitely a writer to watch. The story is so awful, and the children so seduced by the "monster" of a neighbor, that it is quite chilling.
