After devouring The judas scar the other week I had to read more of Amandas writing . Its amazing this is her debut novel as yet again had me hooked and it captures you .
Her ability to create characters you want to read about and storylines which are real and raw .
This covers the subject of losing a child and the aftermath that has on a family and you can feel the pain from the pages .
I loved the chapters being titled and they were the perfect length ensuring you are kept hooked and wanting to read more.
I hope Amanda is writing lots and lots as I for one cant get enough.
