The Double Life of Cassiel Roadnight by Jenny Valentine – review

Rachie: 'One word sums up this book: gripping!'
  
  


One word sums up this book, gripping! This story captures you from the first page. The characters are there in front of you acting out the scenes and the words leave you needing to read on.

This book is about a boy, who has nothing: no family, friends or a place to call home. Living on the streets and getting into fights is not the way to improve his situation but he doesn't care, he is just nobody.

One day following more trouble he has hope he could be someone, someone who is loved and normal with a group of friends. He sees a picture of himself, well at first glance himself but its not, it's someone who looks like him and above the giant words, Missing. Seeing his chance he jumps in his place and expects all his troubles to disappear, but starting where someone else left off is not as easy as it appears.

Convincing himself everything will be alright, he ploughs through the fights, troubles and obstacles to uncover the truth about the boy he knows so little yet everything about, only to discover that Cassiel had uncovered part of the mystery himself.

There is not lot I want to say because the author tells the story in such a captivating way that it keeps you hanging off the edge of your seat; to spoil that would be ruining the book, but I can tell you at the end you will be kicking yourself. This story is so unique that your imagination runs wild and this truly is an explosive read.
