Young Adult

Since Chris and his mom moved to the quiet town of Solitary, strange things have been happening.....and Chris has found himself at the center, but can not figure out why. The town acts like nothing has happened while it covers up murder and a mysterious past. Something bad is going to go down in Solitary and Chris has found that he is tied to it. As he starts summer school, Chris is still grieving from the loss of his girlfriend. He has had a rough year, filled with heartbreak and disappointment. As he starts to fall for the new girl at school, Lily, his life is finally beginning to feel somewhat normal. He is determined to enjoy his senior year in high school as much as he possibly can and then leave Solitary and never come back. But as his senior year passes, Chris is starting to fill in some of the missing pieces. Jeremiah Marsh, the pastor that Chris is certain he watched fall to his death seems intent to provide him with some answers. Even what Chris's role is in all of this. TEMPTATION is the third book of the Solitary Series by Travis Thrasher. Even though this is my first time picking up a book from the series I found that TEMPTATION was a book that sucks you right in. I was a bit lost with when it came to the back story. Reading TEMPTATION has me wanting to go back and read what I missed before TEMPTATION

SUMMARY

The third book in the Solitary Tales series for young adults, Temptation follows the soul-wrenching twists of Chris Buckley’s journey as he heads deeper into a darkness that threatens all he loves best. As a reluctant student at Harrington High’s summer school, Chris meets a fun-loving senior girl who offers a welcome diversion from Chris’s past. Soon Chris no longer searches for the truth about the town of Solitary. He no longer tries to pierce its shadows. He no longer questions his role in its mysteries. He makes a new choice: he runs. What he doesn’t realize is that he’s running the wrong way—and is very close to being beyond any choices at all.
