Description
When he was a child, Evan thought angels were looking out for him. Things changed when he went to school and found monsters were the ones looking out for him. Seeing bullies brutalise their way through his formative years changed Evan. Eventually, his mental health made him realise he did not have to care what people thought about him. Being on the edge of society meant nothing could harm him. As school ended, Evan’s coming to age speeded up. He grew stronger both physically and mentally, and the bullies in his workplace were no match for the monster walking in Evan’s shoes. Later, when he found Morris and his wife Denise, they taught him another lesson. A lesson where one man’s wife could become a close friend’s lover, but only if she followed her husband’s instructions.

Advance Praise
"This book was both brutal and deeply moving. It traces the memories of the main character from his earliest years through adulthood. While attempting to find meaning and identity, the character experiences traumatic incidents and victimization. While he believes himself to be a good person at first, this notion is constantly challenged by episodes of cruelty and violence. As he comes to recognise his own cold and malicious streak, he finds that he has decisions to make. This novel was expertly written. It sent a chill up my spine and lit a spark in a dark spot. I look forward to reading more by this author.
