(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Jace shows up on his older brother's doorstep, having fled their sociopathic father's abuse. As the brothers work through their past, the story gains depth, culminating in a trip to rescue their mother. Jace's narrative voice strikes a commendable balance between being distinct and being typical. The plot's suspense is perfectly counterbalanced by the nuanced relationships between various characters.
