The Other Side of You by @AmandaPCraig

By Pamelascott

Will must run, or die. He's seen a murder, and the gang on his estate are after him.

Hurt, hungry and afraid, he comes to an abandoned house in a different part of the city. Behind its high fences is a place of safety. Here, he can hide like a wounded beast. He can find food, and healing - and learn how to do more than survive.

But when Will meets Padma, he must choose between his good side and his bad one. For the gang he left behind is still there. How can he live without becoming a killer? How can he love without being a thief?

Exciting, fast-paced and different, this is a story that keeps you reading until the last line.

The Other Side of You is different, very different than I was expecting. This is a sort of modern fairy-tale or fable. I liked the fact the author tries to do something a bit different with this book. This tale is engaging and thought provoking. I especially liked when the author shares the gem of an idea that led to this. The tale is a bit unrealistic at times though and I didn't feel completely satisfied by it. I liked the ending though. This is a decent little read if a little uneven.
