Description
Turns out Dad was right when he said, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Twenty-two-year-old Marc Cheeks did not anticipate the truth to be so literal. But like his father, and his father’s father before him, and his father before him, Marc discovers that dying – or almost dying – makes him physically stronger. Now, he hopes he can avoid the steep price each Cheeks man before him paid.
Struggling with his newfound talents, the loss of a beloved family member, and the potential loss of his career, Marc finds himself thrust headlong into the darkness that is being a Stitch--where dying is the easy part.
A young man fights the powers within and without that threaten to tear him apart, all while he discovers the reality of what he is, and what he is not.
Whether a curse or a blessing, Marc’s ability to fight the darkness and addiction that comes with power will determine if he will be the hero or the villain of his story.

I had no idea what kind of ride I was in for when I started reading Stitch by Timothy Collins; however, it turned out to be a very fast paced thrilling adventure! Marc Cheeks is a 22 year old college senior with dreams of being a high school teacher. He still lives in his hometown with his father while he student teaches at the same high school that he attended. Marc appears to be a quiet somewhat morose man who is trying to have a better life than that of his father. Unfortunately, things don’t go planned for Marc when he is faced with violence and brutality. His life changes quickly and he is forced to adapt to a world that is unfamiliar to him and deal with a life which he never planned on living. I don’t want to risk spoiling any part of the book, but I will say that this book was so much fun to read! It says that it is book 1 and I look forward to reading more about the adventures of Marc Cheeks.

A roller coaster beginning to a creative urban fantasy series! Author did a good job of providing just enough background, and answering the right questions, so that you got a good idea of "stitches" and got some resolution, but still have questions remaining. The whole "stitch" thing is a unique dynamic, a fun change from the "traditional" type of urban fantasy with reapers, witches, vampires, etc. Some good twists from the bad guys and a satisfying end that gives a little closure while still leading to the next installment.

Very well developed characters and an extremely engaging story. Well thought out and very suspenseful story line that keeps the reader guessing until the final twist! This is the book to read this year! Highly recommended!
