great5
i read this book when i was about 14 and loved it. i live close to Dartmoor and his decriptions are excellent. a different type of book to what i normally read but it was great and a nice change.

The Best Book Ever!5
I am not ashamed to admit this at all. This book has ruined most other books for me. It was shortlisted for the Carnegie 2007 Award which was then given to Just In Case by Meg Rossof or something like that which didnot deserve to win. Read my review of this book to see why. This boook should have been given the Award. This book is BRILLIANT from start to finish starting instantly with action (Only reason why I read it. I NEVER read a book if the action doesn't start from the beginning!). It begins which the main character sitting in a car on a rainy day. During this time he uses a special power he has and discovers his sister is dead. It later turns out she was murdered. The he and his brother are taken on a whirl-wind adventure in which they not only find out who killed her but also stumble across a deadly gang...

WARNING: This book contains quite strong fighting, swearing and gang references*. I reccomend it for over 12 Year Olds. But don't let this put you off. It is a very good book and your children will probably love it. Just read it first, then if you're happy read it to them. As far as I'm concerned I was 12** when I read it and I LOVED it!

*- Not quite sure how to put this. Rough gang-like behaviour is the best way to put it.

**- I'm just using my mum's account for this review.

Absoloutely brilliant! A "must read!"5
I seriously reccomend this book!!
It is chilling to read, and is possibly the only book that made me scared to read on at certain parts, but boy i'm glad I did!
The writer has a brilliant way of getting you to empathise with the charecters, and it is endearing to see the relationship between Ruben and Cole develop through the book.
Brilliant plot and charecters! This book will keep you guess from page to page!
