"An Open Vein," by J.M. Warwick, is a suspenseful read that will keep you on edge. John stays with Kane, a long-time friend of the family who has been like a second father in John's life. Kanes watchful care soon turns to protectiveness, bordering on an obsession. The control drama interweaves trust issues with reviving feelings for a lost father-son relationship. How far would a son go to prove his affection to the authority figure he had always admired and respected? How far would a man go to reclaim feelings deemed lost over a lifetime? You have to keep reading to find out. - Benjamin Devey, LearningLove.com

"A dark and riveting ride with twists and turns that will leave you guessing to the very end." - Jennifer Johnson

"I will say from the outset that I think this book is rather outstanding. It's dark and powerful, keeps you reading, and stays with you long after you put it down. The story starts with John, a rather intelligent, yet protected sixteen year old, going to stay with his 'uncle' in New York for the summer. Kane is a close family friend, who John has looked up to all his life. First Kane informs John that he is in fact his father, then he tells him that there have been threats against him, and he must stay in the apartment. From here, things spiral out of control, and take a very dark turn. The author takes us through the confusion and fear that the teenage John is feeling, and slowly unwraps the true Kane - she makes you feel that you're there with John, experiencing all that he does. I was also impressed with the ending.. instead of the 'Hollywood ending' that would have been so easy, the darkness and confusion continues. An impressive book, leaving me wanting more." - Michelle Moore, Owner Book Club Forum, UK http://www.bookclubforum.co.uk/
