Synopsis

THE FACTSJulian Roman, age sixteen, is an escapee from a juvenile detention facility.His parents, Michael Roman and Jennifer Roman, are dead.Julian is wanted for murder.THE QUESTIONSWhy is Julian Roman on the run?Just how dangerous is he?And who did kill Michael and Jennifer Roman, if not Julian?Sixteen-year-old Day Connor views life through the lens of her camera, where perspective is everything. But photographs never tell the whole story. After Day crosses paths with Julian, the world she pictures and the truths she believes—neatly captured in black and white—begin to blur.Julian is not the “armed and dangerous” escapee the police are searching for, but his alibis don’t quite add up, either. There is more to his story. This time, Day is determined to see the entire picture … whatever it reveals. Did he? Or didn’t he?Day digs deeper into the case while Julian remains on the run. But the longer her list of facts becomes, the longer the list of questions becomes, too. It’s also getting harder to deny the chemistry she feels for him. Is it real? Or is she being manipulated? Day is close to finding the crack in the case. She just needs time to focus before the shutter snaps shut.

Goodreads review by Persy

Way cheesy and melodramatic. The alternating POV was unnecessary and felt like a crutch for lackluster storytelling. Maybe if the author had chosen one character to develop more and nailed their voice I would have more positive things to say, but there was nothing special about this book. Dime-a-doz......more

Full review posted on Among the Authors I’ve always revered my father as a master of foreshadowing.
