Lie, torture, kill—there's nothing Chris and Derek wouldn't do for their younger brothers…

When Chris wakes up tied to a chair in a dark basement, he knows that he's trapped—and why. He shot and killed Derek's little brother. He had his reasons, but no matter how far Derek goes to uncover the truth about that night, Chris's story won't change. It can't. There is far too much at stake…
Derek is desperate to prove his brother didn't deserve to die. And if kidnapping his brother's killer is the only way to the truth, than he'll go to extremes. But Chris's truth is far more dangerous than Derek could have imagined, and knowing could cost both their lives…


I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review. 

Very interesting is how I can put this book. I literally finished it within one sitting it was that good. We start the book off with a bang and we go between what is happening now to what happened then and it is all the recollection from Chris. 
Chris is like a normal teenager his father passed away a few years back and he has taken up to taking care of his younger brother. So when Chris shoots someone's brother he doesn't realize that the kid that he shot well his older brother will be looking for answers. This is where we find Chris tied up to a chair, it seems Derek wants answers to actually happened and Chris better tell the truth.
I really enjoyed how we went back and forth with the chapters and we learn that Chris can not tell Derek the whole truth on what happened because well this is where the twist comes into play and that is towards the end. I have to say that was really cool how that all came about.
I do think that the teens will enjoy this book as there is just a bit of mystery going on, there isn't blood and guts, or graphic scenes. It is a good clean mystery of what really happened to Derek's brother.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview.

I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the
cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it.
I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from
NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me.
So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen.
Check out her interview and enter into the giveaway that she was kind enough to do.
Below is the blurb for the book with where you can purchase the book from amazon, also add it to your TBR shelves on Goodreads.
