DISCLAIMER: I recieved this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All the opinions in this review are mine and mine alone. Special thanks to NetGalley and Dundurn publishing.
15 year old's Jakub and Lincoln are best friends, and sneak out at night to spray paint graffiti around their city. When Jakub gets accepted to an elite public school, it feels as if him and Lincoln will grow apart. Lincoln's brother comes back from prison, and lures him into his gang, the Red Bloodz.
This book was alright. It didn't stand out to me, and I found the characters to be very annoying. However the story was very realistic, and displayed the unfortunate situations that children in lower income areas find themselves. The writing was also very simple, but that is what i have come to expect from most young adult literature. Overall, I give the book two out of five stars, with the ease of reading being it's greatest strength, and the insightfulness being it's weakest strength.
Blood Brothers is released on April 25th, and is available whererver books are sold.
