This was my favorite of his books! It really was a propulsive thriller from start to finish! It had me on the edge of my seat. While it was graphic (as I’ve seen it described in other reviews), it didn’t seem more graphic than was necessary to build the suspense and terror in the story.  It was definitely gritty, and SA Cosby is a master at setting up the tension in the atmosphere as the two story lines collided so expertly at the end of the book. He is masterful and just keeps getting better and better with every book!! Highly recommend!

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.

Hard topics dealt with, very much a true crime novel that hits some elements of American culture:life that are difficult to read but important
