Basic Plot: Brandon Chambers lost his parents at age ten. How, is a mystery and it’s plagued his entire life. This narrates his whole existence so far dealing with the devastation and the after effects of being tied to a government conspiracy. Through his youth and into his college years, dark ideology is explored.
This man can write! Someone needs to help me out of the emotional hole this book left me in. Honestly, this story was so thorough it was overwhelming. Brandon Chambers is one of my now all time favorite characters and this book deserves all the praise I’m about to shower it with in this review. I can’t believe I felt like I just lived another persons life. So rarely do you feel that raw emotion of a character really conveyed so intensely in written text. It’s a gem. The upheavals this character goes through is mesmerizing and depressing. Brandon Chambers has lived beyond what is considered strange, from the loses he’s faced and the gains he’s made by the end, I was sobbing. It felt real and so personal, like reading someone’s journal. I got lost in these pages, I no longer existed. Then there’s the ending, oh my. I didn’t expect the intensity and yet again to be cut so deeply by this text. The anticipation, the heart-wrenching, it’s so pure. This author displays an ability to write anything. Contemporary, horror, psychological fiction. I believed every word of it and I was thoroughly impressed. Honestly, it was a pleasure to read and I would recommend to literally anyone because Brandon Chambers holds a little something in his intense life that we all have faced. And it’s incredibly infatuating at that. Drama and mystery all hidden within these pages.
Obviously, I gave this a full 5 out of 5. Every word was worth it. Every point in Brandon’s life was an adventure of the most normal kind while also maintaining this hidden history that is so evil at its core. I loved this book. Thoroughly.
