Where Wildfires Glow by Mutch Katsonga
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

State Trooper Elmer Reed is called to investigate a stalker in the woods surrounding Baybrook. Imagine his surprise when it turns out to be a 12-year-old boy. A boy who has a harrowing tale he is reluctant to part with for fear of something. The boy was sent to Resnik Manor to live with his mother (whom he had never seen) after his father was sent to jail. Resnik Manor was his new home, but the people who lived there, his mother and her wife, his new sisters were weird in a creepy manner. Even his new tutor Dave was not much better.
This book was rough to read. There is much that goes on in this manor that is hard, because I know it goes on in real life. The author took the worst of our human behavior and put it into this story. Plenty went wrong for this young boy but at least he had the courage to run away.
