Week 19 Review: Where Silence Gathers

From Goodreads:
In this companion novel to the critically acclaimed Some Quiet Place, Alex must choose between Revenge and Forgiveness.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandra Tate sits outside Nate Foster's house, clutching a gun. After serving ten years for the drunk driving accident that killed Alex's family, Nate has been released from prison. Every night, Alex waits out of sight, building up the courage to exact her own justice. There's just one problem: Forgiveness. 

Alex has been able to see personified Emotions for as long as she can remember, and Revenge is her best friend. But when Forgiveness suddenly appears, he offers Alex a choice—getting even or moving on. It's impossible to decide when Revenge whispers in one ear . . . and Forgiveness whispers in the other.

My Review:
Oh, wow, such a great book, that we got to be in the same world again, which was just so freaking good, and yeah, it develops, that we learn about Choices, most specifically Revenge and Forgiveness, but Lie and Truth were mentioned, and yeah, that was pretty off-the-charts great!

Alex was just really awesome, and while most of her behaviour is not advised, say, skipping school, checking out the guy who killed your family, building up the courage to kill him, and get Revenge, that sort of thing, well, the average teen doesn't have a family who's been murdered. So there's that.

I loved her choice between Revenge and Forgiveness, that it's a battle that's been going on for years, and that Revenge was her best friend, and how she thought she fell in love with him, but the Forgiveness showed up, and things started to change.

Lots of wonderful characters, and we got to see Fear a few times, and Courage, which was nice, and yeah, things happened, and there was the mystery of that her dad could see the Emotions too, and wanted to protect her from them, but it was eating away at him.

Yeah, this book was freaking great, loved the ending, the hope, and the sense of a new journey being started, and that she found the rocket that her dad had lost, yeah, that was pretty great, and how she convinced Joe to play something other then Elvis!

Loved this book, I'm hoping for a 3rd book, because I want to see Rebecca find her mom, and more about Alex's dad, because yeah, that's interesting!!!
