Scarface and the Angel
'If it is your intention to knock me on the head, boy, kindly get it over and done with. If it is robbery you're bent on, I might as well warn you the pickings will be slim, scarce worth your effort...'
There are two sides to Damon. You can see it in his face – Good Face, Bad Face. But which is the true Damon? The one who hits first and asks questions later? Or the one who acts out of kindness?
When the mysterious Esther enters his life, Damon finds his mask beginning to slip. And even he doesn't know what he'll find behind it.

I love it when you are still thinking about the characters long after finishing a book. Very well written by award winning NZ ex schoolteacher who obviously understands adolescents. Recommended for 14+

When the mysterious Esther enters his life, Damon finds his mask beginning to slip. And even he doesn't know what he'll find behind it.
And from White Ravens:
This is a well paced, edgy novel with strong language, resonating with biblical and Shakespearean allusions.
