Growing up is never easy, but Alex, the main character Weston Kincade has created in his Life of Death, has certainly gotten the short end of the stick. His father is dead, and his mother married a drunk, abusive man who likes to use Alex as a punching bag. Then there are the visions; disturbing visions Alex has about the dark secrets that swirl around him; family secrets, town mysteries. Part coming-of-age, part paranormal thriller, Life of Death navigates a teen life that is even rougher than normal, but offers redemption in the end. As BOTD's publisher has said "...once people start reading this one, they won't be able to stop. It's like crack, people. Awesome, delicious brain-crack that won't ruin your life."
