The
Unloved Boy by Sharique Zea is a realistic
tale that follows the journey of a young man as he seeks to fulfil his destiny
and protect what he treasures most. Jason has never felt loved. Raised by
step-parents, he becomes used to spending many hours dreaming about his future.
When he finally gets the opportunity to live the life of his dreams — home,
love, and happiness — evil threatens to destroy everything. Does he have enough
fight in him to save the ones he deeply loves or will the need for
self-preservation stop him?
The
Unloved Boy melds two worlds — the paranormal and
the ordinary world in which Jason has strove to find a home — and the author
succeeds in creating a world that is exciting for readers to navigate. The
protagonist is a character who instantly wins the sympathy of readers. He is a
fifteen-year-old boy who wallows in misery, unloved and uncared for. That is
enough premise for readers who enjoy realistic characters. When Jason finally
finds people who accept and love him, he gets to the verge of losing
everything. Motivation is intelligently written into this beautiful, evenly-paced
story, and while readers will root for Jason, they will want other characters
to be developed even more. The hero of the story is believable and there are
wonderful moments that are cleverly captured. Jason's sense of love and courage
will rub off on readers as they follow his struggle to protect those he
loves. The Unloved is an
enjoyable read!
