Please consider buying The Summer Boy and giving it a review. What readers say:
"The tension begins on page one and escalates, breathlessly, until the final, deadly confrontation. There are no slow parts, no boring middle, just a steady ratcheting of the stakes for these believable, likeable characters."
"A darn good read. Pacing was good, story questions abounded, tension was always present, ebbing and flowing and keeping the reader off guard. "
"His story of a young man and woman discovering who they are and what they're capable of is consistently full of heart and humor. The journey he takes his readers on is thrilling and an absolute joy to read. "
"Ray gives us a murder mystery, a teen romance, and a coming-of-age story, all woven together with effortless skill. "
"I read this book in two days. I had to find out who the murderer was, how the young lovers survived, and how the various characters were going to deal with all the triumphs and adversities of their summer. It's a tale of friendship (the long-lasting kind), love, hatred, deceit - all told through the lens of a long, hot Texas summer. I felt like I was right there with them, sweat and all, while trying to do the right thing and grow up all at the same time. Highly recommend it for a good summer read."
A review from Australia: "This feels like old-style story telling to me, in the best way. No frills, no fuss - just lean, spare writing that paints a clear, strong picture of a time and a place. Ray Rhamey's characters come alive on the page and the story draws you in with its many facets - romance, murder, philosophy. A nice way to spend an afternoon. "
