Let me come right out of the gate and say I love a good revenge story. As a matter of fact, I desperately need some revenge story recommendations! With that said, this is another book that sat on my shelf for a long time and I finally put it in my immediate TBR pile to either read or donate. Clearly, I had never read the description (okay, so I often don’t…people recommend books, I blindly get them. Bad habit, I know).
So, I was on the fence as I had just read his newest book in January and I didn’t know if I wanted to go right into another so quick. I decided to read the description and literally my entire afternoon stopped so that I could start this book!
And I am so happy to say, it lived up to the hype for me. I thought this was so much better than All the Sinners Bleed, and I really liked that book! This might end up being one of my favorite reads of the year, but I have to say, my year in reading has started strong!
- Characters. I love these two men and their interactions together are so well done because you can see the internal struggle they have with each other and it plays out well done.
- I didn’t feel preached out about a topic, a few touch topics, to be honest. I think Cosby handles controversial subjects really well in this book as well as All the Sinners Bleed.
- He addressed the regret and the struggle to change beliefs so well, and it endeared me to the characters even more.
Easy 5 star book, probably a 6 if my personal rating system went that high…and it might because I’ve been throwing 5 stars around a lot this year and this is on the higher end of my 5 star reads so far!
