Winter. The sky is dark. It is cold enough to crack bones.

Jack Morton has nothing left. Except his younger brother, Matty, who he'd do anything for. Even die for. Now with their mother gone, and their funds quickly dwindling, Jack needs to make a choice: lose his brother to foster care, or find the drug money that sent his father to prison. He chooses the money.

Ava Bardem lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years her father has controlled her fate. He has taught her to love no one. Trust no one. Now Victor Bardem is stalking the same money as Jack. When he picks up Jack's trail, Ava must make her own wrenching choice: remain silent or help the brothers survive.

Choices. They come at a price.

An exhilarating, emotionally powerful and superbly written thriller that's Winter's Bone meets The Road.

********************

The tale of Jack, Matty, and Ava tugs on the heart with all they go through. I loved the role family plays in this book. Whether it’s obligation, love, distrust, deceit, or evil, the family theme is the backbone of the story.

The story is darker than I expected. I would recommend you check out the content warnings before you begin reading.

What Beauty There Is will leave your heart bruised. The story is compelling from the opening pages.

You would never guess this is the author’s debut novel. She tells the story of Jack & Ava, connected by a great evil.

Jack desperately wants to keep his younger brother from foster care and Ava is trying to find the courage to stand up to her father’s over-bearing ways.

From start to finish, their story will hold your heart captive.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in an intense, character-driven tale of young adults.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This is my honest, unbiased opinion.
