Matthew Moore is 15 and thinks he has the perfect life. At least, until his alzheimer stricken grandmother moves into his house after her house burned down. His grandmother's antics drive Matthew's stepfather from the house. After a fatal accident, everyone blames Matt for the murder of his dad. After that a chain of events leads everyone to point their fingers at Matt, even though he can't remember doing anything, or not doing anything.

The twist at the end, showing who the killer actually was, and where Matt came from. I also liked that the sexual parts were brief, and not so descriptive. Some authors make it x-rated sometimes!

give it to someone else to read, right then! It was that good.

creeped out, some parts were gory, but not so gross-me-out that you knew it was fake.

did a great job building suspense, and creating the atmosphere.

it was a great substitute to Stephen King! Still not the master that King is, but close.
