This was a great story, both the story telling and the writing. I picked this story because of the subject matter, as a father, this scenario is unimaginable and the suspense and thrill of seeking justice is in my mind the greatest reason to seek justice. Everything about this story was a thrill ride and anyone who likes a suspenseful revenge story will be sure to enjoy this.

As I said, as a father the seeking of justice for a killed child is absolute. The emotional wreck Steven became after he lost his daughter was immense. The writing truly described in detail how I would handle the loss and made me feel Steven’s pain. I didn’t always see what was going to happen next, and I was definitely kept on my toes. The first half of the story was an emotional journey which took me through all the stages of grief. The second half was pure raw emotion that settled on one stage and carried that through to the end. There was a lot of twists in the second half and I really liked how this spans a good period of time so you get to see a good piece of Steven’s life and recovery.

The writing was so well done that you get not only a good story, but good characters. In the brief time we see Luna and Steven together you get our close their relationship is and it pains you just as much when she dies. I kept waiting for something magical to happen to help ease my pain as well as Steven’s. I really liked Steven as a character and think he was portrayed quite realistically. I liked how his friend was a voice of reason that in his anguish he just couldn’t listen to. The mysterious stranger is the perfect antagonist. He is smart and calculating while seeming benign, up until he isn’t.

Tom Jordan does a great job with the narration. He really did this story justice with his narration and character voices. He nailed the voice for the stranger and provided a subtle creepy and raspy voice that matched that character perfectly. Tom really brought this story to life and passes on the characters emotions such that you feel them yourself. Truly a great performance that shouldn’t be passed up.
