This is the first time I have read anything from Ross Greenwood and was impressed by his storytelling and the way the characters, particularly Vinnie, felt so real. This wasn’t always comfortable to read but it is well worth enduring the discomfort for what is a cleverly constructed piece of writing. Highly recommended.

My first read of Ross Greenwood I must say I really enjoy his writing style. It flows along beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed this gripping tale of misfortune and adversary. Ross Greenwood’s characters are convincingly-drawn and the story held me in its grip the whole way through. A fantastic read with brilliant characters. I really felt for Vinnie. It had me gripped from start to finish. 5*. Highly recommended. **
