Although he was the class clown, high school senior Lucas had
charm, looks, athletic prowess, and a scholarship that meant a bright future.
That is, until the night he and his beloved twin, Silver, drive into the middle
of a gang ritual on a California beach road. When Lucas awakens from a coma, he
learns that Silver is dead, he can no longer play football and the vintage
Camaro he prized is trashed. With all his hopes and dreams shattered, Lucas
turns to revenge…or justice.
Suffering through his grief and anger, Lucas forms a
vigilante club with his small circle of close friends. In his path to discover
who killed his sister, he and his gang crazily target one of the town’s most
fearsome gangs. He becomes somewhat cynical to hide his grief and the emotions
threatening to unseat him, and it affects his judgment as he winds through his
new life. A life he thought devoid of his twin sister.
Then, Silver appears, crossing the line between life and
death to try to save him. Lucas meets the new girl next door, Tara, and
suddenly life doesn’t seem so hopeless. Tara can see Silver too, and shares her
fears. But their love isn’t enough to stop Lucas’s posse of “vigilantes” from
an act of stunning violence that marks him for murder. Can Lucas face the truth
about what he’s become, or is it too late? Can Tara save Lucas from the
darkness?
What others have said
about Lucas:
“I loved the
juxtaposition of a rich, privileged boy running a gang on the streets because
his grief and rage drove him to do things he wouldn't have ordinarily done.”
~YA Books Central
“Lucas Alexander: The twin brother of Silver Alexander. An
ex-quarterback. Intelligent. Sherlock Holmes. Ruined by a car accident. The
same car accident which took the life of his beloved sister. Like a good
brother, he is protective of Silver. He has this anger inside of him. With the
support and love from Tara, he semi-heals, but the ghost of Silver still haunts
him. Lucas goes through this character change. From a bad boy, in the
beginning, to the protector of the weak, in the end. It was a spectacular
change to see.” ~Alice of Wonderland
“Lucas
and Silver were inseparable. Their bond as twins connected them throughout
their lives and, when tragedy strikes, the bond seems to endure past the grave.
Lucas should have enough on his plate to deal with - needed to heal, recover
and grieve the death of his sister, but something...or someone...is holding him
back. Lucas swears he can see and hear Silver everywhere. She is always there,
and she seems to be trying to tell him something. And so, he resolves to do
just one thing, even if it's the last thing he does. He'll avenge Silver's
death at all costs.
Have you ever felt a
sort of innate connection with someone that seems to know no bounds? Vigilante Nights is a unique novel that
explores this phenomenon in a gut-wrenching, emotionally turbulent manner.
Author, Erin Richards, writes in a powerful manner, exposing her characters -
flaws and all - for the readers to see. By baring the soul of both the
characters and the plot, Vigilante Nights
thrusts readers headlong into a powerful journey for redemption, revenge and,
ultimately, peace.” ~ Melissa
