Book Reviews of Penance
Book Review: Penance Takes on a Twisted, Sick Turn into Hell!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rick Reed has turned out another suspensful gay murder mystery involving street kids, an abused sick monster, and a priest battling his addiction to boys.
I like that Mr. Reed is able to give the reader a glimpses into the psyches that make up the main characters. The man/child physically abused by an aunt becomes a saviour in his mind. We have a good backstory, voices in his head that allow the reader to feel what he feels and in some way understand the horrible torture he inflicts in the name of the Lord. I could feel his helplessness.
Then we see into the tortured soul of the priest who wants to help the street boys...but the closer in proximity he comes to them the more his sexual desires overrule his sensibilities...throwing him into an abyss of self-loathing and despair. I could feel his helplessness.
Great character development of the street kids involved and their story give the reader a rich overview of why they are here.
Thrilling story, that was a page-turner! It left me on the edge of my seat!
