Blood Brothers

Blood Brothers

Clay couldn't imagine his life without two very important things. First, would be his job at the hospital and secondly, but more importantly, would be his best friend, Joey. But, one night after a hard shift, Clay stumbles upon a naked, confused, and aggressive Joey in the shed. Worried and concerned, Clay calls for an ambulance and has Joey rushed to the hospital. As he tries to solve what happened that night he must face Michelle, his ex-girlfriend and the recent arguments between him and Joey. And throughout it all, he remembers how he and Joey became "Blood Brothers."

I picked up this book expecting an "okay" story. I was pleasantly surprised.

Clay was characterized wonderfully. His love of working in the hospital was strangely likable. And he really was a sweet guy. Joey's scenes in the book were mostly flashbacks but they built him as a good solid figure. His personality came through strong and clear. Even the minor characters had a distinctive personality.

S.A. Harazin's style of writing was entertaining and enjoyable. One quote from the story really struck me. I may be paraphrasing. "She hated me because I breathed." That one line for some reason made me really think about what everybody had said. I don't want to ruin anything so lets leave it at that.

Overall, this was a faced-paced and emotional story. If you're easily brought to tears this book will make you sob. Highly recommended.
