Ravens- Book Review

The Boatwrights just won 318 million dollars in the Georgia State lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives.

When Shaw McBride and Romeo Zderko pull up at a convenience store off I-95 in Georgia, their only thought is to fix a leaky tire and be on their way again to Florida-away from their dull Ohio tech-support jobs. But this happens to be the store from which a 318,000,000 million dollar Jackpot ticket has just been sold -- and when a pretty clerk accidentally reveals to Shaw the identity of the winning family, he hatches a ferociously audacious scheme: He and Romeo will squeeze the family for half their prize. That night, he visits the Boatwright home and takes the family hostage, while Romeo patrols the streets nearby, prepared to murder the Boatwrights' loved ones at any sign of resistance. At first, the family offers none. But Shaw's plot depends on maintaining constant fear-merciless, unfaltering terror-and soon, under the pressure, everyone's sanity begins to unravel . . . At once frightening, comic, and suspenseful, RAVENS is a wholly original and utterly compelling novel from one of our most talented writers--- From Goodreads.com

This book did all that promised in the teaser. I read the book and was left feeling weird after it. It amazing how money changes people. All the characters were affected by the win in some way.

It also opened my eyes even more to what we put on the Internet and how that can be used against someone. This was told from the Point of views of Romeo, Shaw, Patsy, Mitch, Tara, Jase, and Deputy. This story takes place over Wednesday - Tuesday. WOW...

I liked this story and it was a good thriller. I gave this book 4 out 5 stars. I was left hanging with some details. Its not a book I would read again but it kept me on thinking about the characters long after I was done reading it.
