After the Fire by Will Hill

4.0

What I Did Like:
+This is a great example of a time an author knew the rules of grammar well enough to break them for their purposes. This is evident early when a chapter suddenly has little to no punctuation, giving the impression the character is overwhelmed and out of it. Personally, I love when things like that are used to help you connect to a character emotionally. 
+The brilliance of little reveals to give you more connection to a character comes through here. This one pops between Before and After chapters but they’re set up to give you a little more of a connection to our main character each time. It’s the kind of story where you feel yourself being reeled in slowly until you are completely under the spell. It’s captivating.
+Well researched. Evident in the handling of the psychiatry as well as in the police procedures, this one had a lot of careful research. If you’re interested in some of the roots, be sure to read the author's note. 

Who Should Read This One:
-If you’re a fan of realistic fiction that tells stories ripped from the headlines in a fast paced way, this one is highly recommended.
-Also, if you’re a YA fan who likes strong independent main characters, give this one a read.

My Rating: 4 Stars
Brilliant and powerful, this one delivers.
