Review: WATCH YOU BURN by Amanda Searcy


5 Special Stars!!

WATCH ME BURN is exceptional! I was riveted from the very beginning.  Ms. Searcy develops character in such a way that we simultaneously empathize but also ponder their attitudes and personalities.  In other words,  just as in real life, when we can't presume to truly know anybody, including ourselves. 

The writing impels; the author's handling of the emotional roller-coaster of numerous characters,  the secrets, suspense,  and mystery; the big issues (abuse, abandonment,  arson, pregnancy,  emotional and psychological disorders,  issues suffered by the homeless population); all combine to a story I couldn't put down. Generally I read multiple books simultaneously but not so here: my full concentration focused on WATCH ME BURN.
