Review: Didn't connect with this book
Rating: 2 out of 5

This story was about a sixteen year girl, Hailey Trosclair, who didn't seem to have much direction in life. She basically hung out with your older Brother Cyrus, and another girl named Meridian. She was a product of depressed mother and wayward father, so they did not pay much attention to her nor guide her. She eventually tries to get attention by trying to act older than she was and making some foolish decisions.I can't say that I enjoyed this book. Usually after I read a book, something stays with me in a form of a theme, message or just event. In this book, I am unclear of what the main objective was. I feel that the title does not connected with the actually story nor the characters. The writing style was okay for the most part, but the ending felt really rushed.This book did not provide a sense of closure for me. There did not seem to be a real resolution for the main characters. I would have liked a little more development/explanation for setup by Moses, and why he picked Cyrus as his avenger.In the end, this book left me feeling frustrated and let down. I did not get what the author was trying to communicate with his story. Maybe if I read it again, I will see the big picture.
