Fire and Agate by Andrew GreyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really, really enjoyed listening to this book. It was interesting and sweet and very well done.
Pavle had dreams of coming to the United States to get away from Serbia and find a better life. Instead, he got caught up in a sex trafficking ring and spent 4 years in hell. He managed to escape and is in protective custody, but he won't be safe until his captor is caught.
Chris is a deputy officer and is asked to take on the role of protector of Pavle. He's brought to his home where he is terrified of everything and can barely communicate. But, in finding ways to include Pavle in various chores and activities, he gets to know the man that he really is. They were the perfect blend of hesitant and innocent and it was fun to hear their relationship progress.
I found the story to be well written, engaging and full of heart. Greg Tremblay presented a wide array of talent in his performance. I was impressed with his version of Pavle with his broken English and the grief and hope in his voice. Chris was both very sweet and protective and came across as an overall nice guy who was compassionate and loving.
I would absolutely recommend taking the time to enjoy this audio experience.
