Falling Awake II: Revenant by Kristoffer Gair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 CRANKY STARS


This is the second book in a series. I only gave the first book 3 stars because it confused me. This book is a little better in that there seems to be a better storyline. It is about ten-year old Andrew and his friend, 10-year old Thomas. Someone kills Thomas’s parents and kidnaps Thomas. Andrew feels responsible because he took Thomas to the carnival and saw how the men on the shooting booth looked at Thomas. It gave Andrew a very bad feeling. Well, it is fourteen years later, and Andrew is still plagued by nightmares of that night. He has had a very rough life since in 1972, his sexuality is a big part of this story. If he did not have such nightmares, he might have a life partner but as it is, he is single, playing the field. Working as an inspector and trainer for OSHA, he has traveled the country. Always looking for the men who killed Thomas. It is his goal to eventually catch them and mete out his justice. Along the way, he meets a man he wishes to spend his life with, but the call to avenge Thomas is too strong and he must leave town.


I was not sure what this book had to do with book 1 until I read about Thomas’s murder. So, it appeared that this story tied up some loose ends for me. It really was good and the author did a good job explaining the gay dilemma at that time.
