But as Dennis grows into adulthood, his attempts to win the affections of his best friend, Beth Michaels, the praise of his parents, and the accolades of football star Jason Bell consistently fall short.

Their rivalry quickly escalates from petty pranks to a matter of life and death.Experience the first entry in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, where drama and suspense reach Biblical proportions!Praise for Cane and Able:"Jonathan Matos definitely knows his way around a sentence as well as a metaphor ... I like that there was an explanation for every little thing, which only goes to show how well crafted this novel was as everything comes full circle." - Halley Hopson, Goodreads"I appreciated that the story wasn't over the top or melodramatic; it was very believable, which made it ... creepy." - Ashley D. Wiley, Goodreads"...the ending had a perfect feeling of unease and suspense ... it basically felt the same way as when I finished watching Psycho for the first time..." - Megan Pegasus, Booktube"I feel Jonathan Matos has a pretty good grasp of reality, and he does seem to really understand the way people work and act, which is something that I really enjoyed about this novel. Most 'bad' people do have some good in them, and I think that the author did a good job portraying human nature." - Chapter Barbara, Goodreads"This book was very refreshing ... a very unique, irreverent, insightful story about faith and jealousy." - Brittany Gernhard, Goodreads
