The June Boys by Court Stevens
3.0
A Gemini Thief kidnaps three boys every year from June 1st to June 30th the following year and then releases them....Or did for the last ten years...but this year one of the boys turns up dead.
“Monsters don’t always look like monsters on the outside, and maybe they’re not always monsters...”
The Gemini thief can be anyone. Your pervert Uncle, your Father, your Mother, your creepy teacher...
The pretense of this story is fantastic and I enjoyed the main character Thea. She is determined and gritty and doesn’t let her age stand in the way of the answers she’s seeking. However, the story is a bit hard to follow. It is told from multiple POVs and bounces between timelines in a non-linear fashion.
By the time I got all the characters and timeline straight the story began to drag a bit. There were some unnecessary characters and some necessary things left out, like who is Elizabeth? In addition, for me the ending was a bit rushed and pulled together too neatly.
