Trespassers by Saul Delino is a story about how someone’s past can come back to haunt them. When Vincent Wright was a teenager, he, along with his friends, made a mistake. Years later he is disabled and trying to live his life in spite of having agoraphobia. When an old friend reappears, his panic attacks become severe and memories start to resurface. This old friend of Vincent’s is also after Goldie, who owes him a great deal of money.
From the start, I had a little trouble connecting to Vincent and this story. At first I felt bad for Vincent because of everything that had happened to him, but I ended up hating him in the end. I actually liked his half-brother Goldie better. Goldie might have been a screw-up, but his personality was better. The character that I felt bad for was Grace. I did not understand her relationship with Vincent, especially after how she was treated by him. She is a saint for attempting to help him in any way.
The one thing that kept me from putting Trespassers down was the surprise twists that Delino threw in. I usually can figure out what the twist is before it is revealed, but Delino got me a few times in his book. The ending alone was amazing and something I did not see coming at all. Overall, I started out not liking Trespassers, but the ending was so shocking that it changed my mind. Delino definitely has a gift for surprising his readers. If you like stories with surprising twists, then read this book.
