This book was so good and it made me cry like a baby. I wasn’t prepared for how much I would love this book - it was so much more than the generic thriller I was expecting. It was emotional and full of really good lessons on homophobia and prejudice in general. The way these serious, heavy issues were written into an exciting and violent revenge thriller was just perfect. It was written really well, fast paced and action packed which balanced out the heartbreaking moments. Aside from all the action, the characters really carried this book for me. Ike and Buddy Lee were flawed individuals but I loved following their journey. I felt the love they had for their sons and I felt their pain. The mystery was great - I actually predicted it correctly on page 131 but it didn’t bother me. I still loved the reveal of the ‘twist’. I loved how explosive the ending was and the drama throughout was a lot of fun to read. It was dark, gritty and atmospheric throughout. I could talk all day about how fantastic this book was and how much I loved it. It was a just a beautiful story about revenge and love without judgement. I cannot wait to read more from this author.
