This is my third S.A. Cosby book, and just like I expected, it was a total rollercoaster!

S.A. Cosby has delivered another thrilling, gripping, shocking, intense, and beautifully written book! He continues to amaze me with his lyrical and emotion-evoking writing. I like to call what he writes Southern Grit. It's gritty, raw, brutal, beautiful, and so very human. He shows us the best and the worst in his well-rounded characters. He doesn't shy away from violent scenes, just as he doesn't shy away from showing the vulnerability in his characters. Speaking of characters, that's what it'...
