This book was gripping from page one and I found it a riveting read. I could hardly put it down and when my Mum picked it up she said it was better than the book she was reading! The intensity and the pace of it make it an awesome read.

Stephen is a boy with many problems in life. His dad and mum are divorced. He has lived in care homes and is getting chucked out of his current foster home. He has committed numerous crimes and is a well-known face to police. But none of these compare to his other problem.

The beast.

He has had to keep him alive for six years but now, after all these years, Stephen has to do something about it. The solution to his problem is not an easy one.

I would recommend this book to anyone between twelve and fifteen and I would say it’s one of the top three books I’ve read in the past two years.
