Michaels brings in all the siblings, some we have heard their story, others we are looking forward to. Some are coinciding and it makes the family interactions fun and exciting. This story is full of emotion, turmoil and love. It is frustrating and passionate and drove all of my emotions to the brink and back. Grab this series, it’s is one that should not be missed.
David Allen Vargo tells this story with all of the emotions, bringing it to life. Luke is stubborn and confused, and Vargo tunes into his psyche, creating a voice that is realistic. Tristan is much more comfortable in who he is, but carries a hurt that is felt with each inflection Vargo uses. The effects used make the inner voices believable and feels like we are there with the characters. It’s a fantastic listen.
