TEMPTATION

In the third installment in Thrasher's Solitary Tales, Chris Buckley, who is originally from Chicago, moves with his mom to Solitary, North Carolina. Narrator Kirby Heyborne presents diverse characters and a range of emotions while keeping the story fast paced and compelling. He particularly succeeds in conveying the many viewpoints Chris confronts as he faces temptation and makes difficult decisions, especially when the line between good and evil is not fully apparent. Adding to the story is Chris and Lily's romance, which is sweet yet believable. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2012]
