Awwsome.

when i read this book, i was so captured in the moment i didn't want to stop reading it. the author does an amazing job on bringing you into the scenes. I enjoyed this book so fondly, that i'm giving a presentation on it. I am usually a hard person to get to read, but this book was outstanding!

you won't want to stop

This book is absolutely awesome! I was on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next. If there is one book that I could suggest to you, this is it. It is suspenseful, sorrowfull, and filled with some action. When you put all three of these ingredients into a book, you got a winner, and that's what this is. Its about a family who's mom was killed by a drunk driver, Zeke Dexter. when he is released from prison after serving three of his five year sentence, the family finds Zeke at the hands of their mercy. They could kill him easily if they wanted to, or they can take him in and help him get started on his feet again. It is a book about forgiveness and finding out who you are in a time of grief and sorrow.

I Just Loved It!!!

After 4 years Kate still hasn`t gotten over her mother`s death. Caused by Zeke`s drunk driving, she pictures every single way in her mind to picture herself killing him. Zeke just left prison on an early release, after killing woman while drinking and driving. He justs wants to get his life on the right track. After a blizzard hits their city they somehow meet each other. Fast paced and excellent, this is one of the best books I have ever read!!!!

A Cold Hatred

Blizzard's WakePhyllis Renold NaylorAtheneum2002A Cold HatredThis was a story about a girl who has a lot of hate toward the man who killed her mother. This guy gets out of prison early for good behavior. The story takes a turn from that point on; you have no clue of what will happen next. This book was good because it kept me wanting to know more. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, wanting to know what would happen next. I enjoyed this book because it was thrilling and suspenseful. I recommend this book to any person who likes mysteries or suspenseful stories. This is a good book to read if you have had a family member die. I give this book 5 stars.
