Having previously read, and enjoyed, The Tree House I couldn't wait to read this book. It serves as a prequel to The Tree House but new readers can read the series in either order in my opinion.

Jack was one of the main characters in the first book and being able to read about his story prior to that of The Tree House was a huge bonus for me. It allowed me to fully understand his character, the things he has done and said, and get beneath the exterior image he portrays.

The relationship between Jack and his brother Ben is extremely well written. They are friends as well as brothers and that shines through in this book.

I liked that the author has written this story from both Jack and Bens' points of view. This allows the reader to get inside their minds, see from their perspectives exactly what they are going through/being put through. It also explains a lot of what went on in the latter part of book 1.

I cannot wait to read the next book in this series, especially after reading the first chapter of it at the end of this one.
