Facing Demons by Ashley Sanders Review

About the book:

Amidst the darkness of turmoil there is hope.

Blake Solomon had never before heard such heart-wrenching stories until now. Jason gang-member, Rebecca a child prostitute, Matthew an African refugee, and Felicity a reckless rich kid, make up the newest group at Blake's Anchor Beach Rehabilitation Clinic.

Each have seen more than their share of tragedy and have reached a point of desperation where all hope seems lost. Leaving behind worlds tainted with drugs and alcohol, violence and abuse, self-harm, and street-life is easier said than done. Unexpectedly, these four young lives collide in extraordinary circumstances as they attempt to salvage any glimmer of strength and self-belief they have left.

Blake's battle to save all four from path of certain self-destruction is the toughest he's ever faced. Is a quick-fix all he has to offer before feeding them back to the lions? Or will he keep his promise in helping them to face their demons?

My review:

This really is an awesome book. I enjoyed reading this book and was saddened throughout. I have done drugs in the past and have been clean for five years, so I kind of know what the different characters were going through, but no way did I have it even half as bad as any of them. I am not going to give details, you ask why? Again I will say it is because I hate when someone does that too me. Yes I want to know from someone if they think I should read the book, but do I want them telling me everything that happens? Ugh no way! My favorite character is Rebecca and I cannot wait for her prequel to come out. This is the first book I have read by Ashley Sanders and I cannot wait to read his other books. Go get this book now. You will not regret it!!!
