Please Note:  I received a pdf version of this book from the author to review.This is a difficult story to summarize in a few words.  It is the story of family and the far reaching effects of jealousy, love, mental disorders and hate.  This is the story of a boy who goes to live with his grandmother.  The grandmother is far from stable but loves her grandson and hates his mother.  The repercussions from this are fascinating to read and almost impossible to know ahead of time leaving the reader guessing from page to page.Jeremy has a talent for telling stories and he is young.  His youth gives him a pass for some parts of the story that were beyond belief but the reader can go with it anyway.  There is a little too much dependence on the thesaurus but that also can be excused by youth.His writing style changes throughout the book making it a bit difficult on the reader but, again, Jeremy is still looking for his rhythm as a writer.It is an outstanding first novel; one that holds the readers' interest, is hard to put down in the second half and is just a good story.  Jeremy is a gifted writer and this should be the first of many novels to come.
