Fall of Knight
A normal teenager Dean Knight is not.
With a mental illness that threatens to take over his sanity; a sister who’s deep in her own problems; and a wasted mother who couldn’t care less about it all, Dean is left to battle real life on his own. School, bullies and medications are his realities.
Then there are also the ghosts, the hallucinations and of course – the monster.
In the middle of it all, when everything seems to lose purpose, hope comes shining down on Dean’s miserable life. Her name is Ella and for one reason or another, she actually wants to be close to Dean. With Ella’s help, the lost teenage boy decides that he could finally win a battle or two – both in real life and in his writing.
But hope is a tricky thing. And the monster seems to know that.
When secrets buried down for almost a decade come out in the open, what do you do?
Great read! Kept me guessing the whole way through!

I have to say honestly, that I have been knocked to pillar to post with this one, confusion.com.The reason?I will add at the bottom of my review.Steven Cross did an excellent job with the storyline though. Fall of Knight is someone struggling with bullying, along with his mental health problem. This is aimed at the youth, however, I am 56 and I thought it an excellent agenda to read. I sympathized and I ranted at the bullies. I really wanted to come to his protection, so that in itself was a
Fantastic ya novel about mental illness. Through the viewpoint of Dean, the reader is taken through the high school experience. It is of course even worse for Dean as he lives with mental illness. He has a good imagination and writes, but he sometimes has difficulty distinguishing what is real. This book grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. It is dark. It is well written. I can't wait for the next book to be released.
Cross delves into the psyche of the mentally ill like a pro: he's either crazy, gifted, or both. The sane will be to unnerved to put it down; the insane will just smile. It is delightfully horrifying.**I received a complimentary copy of this e-book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a roller coaster ride. I was left trying to anticipate the next turn and surprised at the twists that came next. The author showed a wonderful understanding of the teenage mind and the problems that may plague them in the course of school. Giving an insight into the mind and world of a boy with mental illness to an extent that those readers who have an illness may catch a glimpse of themselves in Dean's issue of trying to navigate the world and those who are "normal" readers canGreat read! Kept me guessing the whole way through!
