Leaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane – Review by Katie Matthews

Leaving Jackson Wolf by P.A. Kane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to admit this book totally took me by surprise – the blurb I thought was quite vague and the cover doesn’t reveal much at all so going into it I had no preconceived ideas about what was going to happen and what I got was a fantastic story that I couldn’t put down until I had finished. The author told a really powerful story and I liked that it was through the eyes of a teenage boy and I think this may be a first for me. I have read many coming of age stories but the main character is usually a girl and the stories can be a little predictable but this one wasn’t at all. I could tell that the author had really thought about what he was writing – there weren’t a vast amount of characters in the story which made it feel more of an intimate read and I felt like I got to know them all really well. This is my first read by this author and I know that it won’t be the last; he has truly captured my attention with his engaging writing style and attention to detail with his characters.
A great YA/Coming of Age book that I would 100% recommend!
