Fast-paced, dark and clever
The best way to describe the plot of the book is written on the front cover "He's seen too many young people die She's afraid he might be next."

The 'he' mentioned above is one of the main characters DS Noah Jake, the 'she' being his partner/colleague DI Marnie Rome. Both characters are deep, well-thought out with difficult and troubling back stories.

The story is very realistic and references true life events that have affected the London. It felt very real and I can see where Sarah Hilary (author) gets her inspiration from.

As with most crime novels, it is fast paced with twists and turns throughout. The characters/suspects/witness are all very clever and different with a key input to the story.

I would recommend this book.

[Rebirth] by[Debbie Brown] began with a quick pace that made it difficult for me to put down. The characters were authentic and you fell right in with their plight. The statement that was made about the youth being our hope could not have rung more true.

I would have liked to see more development and I am hoping she continues this story line. It had the potential to be wide read YA fiction given the current climate of the genre.

I have to try and find a paper version of this so I may add it to my classroom library.
