Zack and Matt McCannon are brothers who have been bound by tragedy and heartache. When their parents abandoned them years ago, Zack took it upon himself to care for his younger brother. This is not an easy task. Matt has psychic powers and because of that, evil is always after him, leaving Zack no choice but to protect him.
When Matt has a vision which leads the brothers to a cave, the McCannons are thrust into a nightmare they may never get out of. When they become trapped a demon asks Zack a question. "How far will you go to save your brother." Zack replies, "As far as I have to."
Now an evil like they've never faced before, attempts to get Matt to turn against his brother, killing him. Can Zack save Matt before it's too late?

Great read. It flows very well, is exciting, and brings the characters to life. It is one that is hard to put down. Subject matter sounds somewhat familiar, but with all that is out there today between reading, television, and other medias it is difficult to come up with something totally new. At least it is for me.

The premise of this book sounded good, and I have a son getting into reading. The last book he read I read before to see if it would be to his speed.

Thus far, we meet the two brothers and the demon.

14% in, and I must say I like how the story flows, the way it reads. I can see my son Zack and Matt's background has been revealed and answered several of the questions I had had about the brothers.

Curious about the background of the demon and hope the deeper in the story I get, the more we'd learn about them.

The dialogue between Zak and Matt do have the feel of how two teenage brothers would behave. It's very heartfelt the way that Zack never gives up on his brother no matter what happens to Matt. It shows a certain bit of tenaciousness that's good.

Mm, when we are introduced to the cops Bryan and Tony. There was a brief synopsis on how the brother met with the cop duo. The way that read really put me the impression that there is a story there, that maybe there is a possibility of a prologue or "flash" back to further explain.

I also got the impression that perhaps the supernatural has haunted their parents. Guess too many paranormal book reading and movies. Parents trying to protect the children by abandoning them. That the parents set up a trust fund sort of inforces this idea.

Overall the story was a smooth read, one that I can see letting my son read.
