Convicted

Earth Hunters

by Janice Boekhoff

One stupid mistake could save Lucan’s soul…

Sixteen-year-old Lucan Milner is only trying to impress his twin brother, Chad, when he makes the stupidest decision of his life…and lands them both in juvenile hall. Inside juvie, Chad turns down a dark path, leaving Lucan to fend for himself.

When Lucan is mistaken for Chad, he’s beaten within an inch of his life. In the infirmary, he’s visited by a pastor who preaches forgiveness, but as far as Lucan is concerned the score between them is now even, and he wants nothing more to do with Chad.

Then, the warden asks Lucan to risk his life to help his twin. Although it would be easier to harden his heart, Lucan reluctantly agrees. But how far will he have to go to save his brother from self-destruction?

Reviews

[Carol Brandon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this book about twins whose father is presumed dead, and who are trying to deal with this. Lucan is the responsible one, who makes a stupid decision and ends up in juvenile hall with his twin Chad. While there, Chad continues down a dark path, and the warden asks Lucas to risk his life for his twin. A pastor has been visiting Lucan and preaching forgiveness. Will Lucan be able to forgive? How far will he go to help his brother? It’s a believable story, with a fast pace. Really looking forward to the next in the series, I received a free copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

I enjoyed this story about twin brothers. I like the christian emphasis & how it affected the boys. I am anxious to read the rest of the series. I received a free copy from the author. This is my honest, voluntary opinion.
