Bobby, a troubled youth living in a world of joy riding, alcohol and drugs, is taken away and is dragged into a new life in the Irish countryside. However, everything is not as it seems and the run down house that his mother and step brother are living in may have a darker past than he first thought, well that is what the local country kids say. But Bobby isn’t bothered, all he wants is to return to Dublin and immerse himself back into his reckless world. He steals a car and races back to Dublin, only to find his friends are not as interested and as welcoming as he had initially thought. One of  his problematic friends crashes his stolen car and he is taken into police captivity, and shortly returned to his mothers, in the country. Bobby then begins to discover the history behind the house, and that the kids of the country were not as idiotic as he had been lead to believe.

I think this book is a bit of a let-down. At the beginning of the story, the plot is believable, but then begins to decline at a rapid rate and then becomes dry, shallow and somewhat predictable. Overall I think this book tries too hard to relate to the target audience and uses predictable language to characterise each character. I think the author should have researched the target audience more and have a better understanding of how to relate to them before writing another book for this age group.
