About the author
Angela Auten
6 books135 followersMy name is Angela, but you can call me Angie. I live in a small town in New Jersey. My dream has been to publish a book. I was happy to have my dream come true. I'm a self published author. If you have any questions you can always ask.
It took me five years to finish the first book in my trilogy series. Originally I had written the book in third person, but I felt it would be better in first person. I really hope that everyone who reads my book can connect with my characters. That is what I want the most from my writing. I really hope you enjoy reading it.
I love reading books and manga. I also love watching anime. I always make time for reading and writing everyday.
Book Rating:
1 Star: Horrible book. I hated it. (Hardly will ever rate a book that since I'm an author and now how hard it is to write a book.)
2 Stars: It's bad, but not horrible. Some of the scenes were okay.
3 Stars: It's okay. The book could have been better. Needed more character development.
4 Stars: I liked it a lot, but didn't fall in love with it completely!
5 Stars: I loved it! Completely fell in love with each individual character! (Most of the books I read I fall in love with a characters. So most of my ratings are five stars.)

I whipped through this in two days because I just had to find out who was responsible for what happened to Aidan's mother. It turns out, there is plenty of blame to go around among the adults, and, just like in the real world, the children always seem to pay the heaviest price in all sorts of traumatic ways. This is a weighty story and the youngest characters carry most of the burden, while also still having to deal with every-day challenges such as the ups and downs of dating, acceptance, trust, school fights, car accidents, family strife and even teen pregnancy. The pacing gets bogged down from time to time with rambling dialogue and long letters/journal entries, but the overall story is compelling and the characters are well-developed. It's easy to get sucked in as Aidan slowly and painfully discovers his haunted past, which spirals toward a shocking and overwhelming conclusion.

Aidan was a very different kinda book for me I normally don't read books like this. Aidan was a easy character to understand and follow along with thought out the book. He was a very shy but strong character that made me wanting to know everything about him. The fact seen mother death infont of him hit you in heart. The nightmares he lives thought want you just hold him close to you. My favorite part of the whole book was when you get to the dreams. A very simple person shows you how strong he can just be. Omg the ending pull so many heart strings to point I didn't want get to the ending lol but I push through and omg glad I did. Now where second book!!!!
