Résumé
Élève de terminale, Michael Sattler mène une vie de rêve. C’est un athlète vedette accompli, il a de bons amis, et des parents qui l’aiment exactement comme il est. La seule chose qui manque dans sa vie c’est un petit ami. C’est un problème parce qu’il n’a avoué son homosexualité qu’à ses parents et à son meilleur ami. Lorsqu’il heurte accidentellement Christy Castle à l’école, sa vie change d’une façon qu’il n’aurait jamais pu imaginer. Christy est l’homme de ses rêves : intelligent, beau, et sexy. Cependant, rien n’aurait pu préparer Michael à ce qu’entraînerait le fait d’être le petit ami de Christy. Christy a besoin de se reconstruire après des années d’abus, et il sait qu’il a besoin d’aide pour le faire. Après la mort de son père tristement célèbre, il quitte sa Grèce natale et s’installe dans l’État de New York. Seul, effrayé, et incapable d’utiliser sa voix, Christy cache la myriade de cicatrices de sa maltraitance. Il veut désespérément être aimé et lorsqu’il rencontre Michael, il ose espérer que ce jour est enfin arrivé. Lorsque l’un des coéquipiers de Michael devient un ennemi, et qu’un des agresseurs du passé de Christy cherche à le ramener à une vie d’esclavage, seules leurs forces combinées et leur détermination inébranlable pourront les sauver de la violence qui menace de détruire leur avenir ensemble.

Avis de Sylviegroulet :
Un livre magnifique bien que dur à lire. Il parle d'une reconstruction et du droit au bonheur. Une très belle histoire d'amour.

#Omorphi has received two additional Honorable Mentions in the #RainbowAwards for a total of four Honorable Mentions! Awards will be announced December 8th!
Four Honorable Mentions for Omorphi!
"Hauntingly beautiful, a book that you never wanted to end because you were so much a part of the characters lives. When you finish the book you want to know more, to pick up the phone and call Christy. Magically written, the voices and setting of the story were so clear you lived each moment with the characters."
"This book and others like it are the reason I put so much time and effort into judging for the Rainbow Awards. Flawless from start to finish, written with such deft prose that as a reader one cannot help but be pulled deep into the psyche of the characters. I love Christy, Michael, Jake, all their friends and family. Hell, I even love Uncle Smitty. Their world is filled with unspeakable horrors and oceans of pain, but for the chance to sit quietly at their sides on a sunny afternoon, I’d definitely take my chances. Wow."
The author did a great job with the characters in this book. Christy was such a well-written character; I had no choice but to fall in love with him.
Wonderful balance handling tough subject without making the story depressing and negative.
Omorphi by C. Kennedy is a Rainbow Award Finalist!
