I did a tandem read with the audiobook and the kindle version. I thought Adam Lazarre-White was a wonderful narrator for this one. It’s definitely not a book for the faint of heart because it does get quite gruesome. I think this book does a great job depicting racism as well as exploring morality and religion. I wish there had been more about Latrell. Titus does a a tiny monologue to Darlene about how he loves Charon, and that’s why he’s hard on it. This reminded me of James Baldwin’s quote about America.

The fall festival scene was reminiscent of Charlottesville white supremacist attack in 2027, especially because the book is set in Virginia.

I don’t think the book had any major plot twists, and I also wouldn’t say it was predictable.

Cosby does it again. This book is thrilling, upsetting, evocative, and impossible to put down while still hard to read after dark. The protagonist is a flawed lawman who is trying to serve his community in a dark and violent time. Check the content warnings, this book may have the scariest serial killer ever. And Cosby’s writing is so tight, so perfect, that he puts you right in the moment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So good!

This book does contain violence against children. It’s not gratuitous or voyeuristic but it is a main theme.
