"We are different in the night to how we are in the day. The night makes us someone else and we believe our daylight self will not see us and we can keep our night self secret from our day self. That is why the night is when evil is done, and the morning is for repentance and remorse." Coal Creek by Alex Miller

I really like the main character in this book "Bobby Blue". Hes got a childish innocence for a man of twenty but there's something lurking in that innocence. Alex Millers choice of writing this book in the narrative style is fantastic. Hard to get used to at first but spot on.

At times the voice, not the writing style is tough going but its something different, a new perspective and a unique character. Bobby is giving a sort of warning that something deadly is about to happen. His feelings for the young daughter of the family are obvious.

I received this book courtesy of Real Readers. So far, I love the unique voice. It was hard at first to adapt to the voice of this book but I have a big feeling it is crucial to the story. Great so far.
