The Rebirth of Henry Whittle by Gertrude Kitty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Whittle is stuck in the foster care system and is just counting down the days until she is finally done. Suddenly, she is given the option of going to an estranged uncle, Mr. Henry Whittle who would give her a place to live with a family member (himself). However, in the time between the offer went out and Phoenix arriving at his door, something monumental has happened. Henry is no more and has been replaced by his killer who assumes his identity until Phoenix arrives and turns everything in the house on its head. Between the killer at home and the bullying at school Phoenix must show just how determined and tough she really is and how much she can survive.
This book was so hair-raisingly thrilling story. The abuse Phoenix goes through tugged at my own hurtful past, so it was very easy to identify with her. The complications of the mystery (will she ever figure it out), and the sudden murder of a local boy give this book a macabre feel. Great story.
