Nothing Left to Lose | AstraDaemon

AUTUMN BLEEDS INTO WINTER by Jeff Strand is my new favorite novel by this author. This is a coming of age story, under the most gruesome circumstances, and then some. When Curtis confronts his friend's kidnapper, he soon finds himself in a horrific situation with no way out. I appreciate the agony and anxiety which plagues Curtis because the story seems more believable with a kid screwing up left and right, as well as being terrorized by a sadistic psychopath.

I need this to be made into a film, if for no other reason than the alliances Curtis makes during his tortured silence. I'm good with the teens deciding they've had enough of kids getting murdered. I don't think it requires a stretch of the imagination to accept a group of young people rallying around one another during such a tragic time in their lives.

This is a thrilling crime drama with a shocking ending, and fans are going to love it. I also recommend Strand's FAINT OF HEART, a terrifying thriller about a woman searching for her husband.

As always,
AstraDaemon
