Unquestionable enthusiastic 5 stars for the story and for the exceptional audiobook narration. I wasn't even 1/4 into the audiobook when I knew this would be a 5 star read. I love when I can immediately connect with the story and the characters. And then the incredible narration by Adam Lazarre-White made it that much better. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who does not like books with blood and violence but I would absolutely recommend it to everyone else.

Two ex-con fathers lost their married sons in some horrific hate crime. Despite not approving the relationship the fathers are out for blood to avenge their sons deaths because the cops have no leads! Through all the challenges these men go through they find acceptance for their sons but can they get revenge on who ever did this horrendous act?

I absolutely loved this book! There are a lot of heavy scenes and trigger warnings but the over all characters were beautifully written and the plot was something I had never read about before.

Oh wow I really enjoyed this novel! It was an eye-opening book that dug into issues of racism, homophobia, etc. I should also note that I have never cried while reading a book until this one! It is not super sad, but did tug at the heartstrings 🤧 Only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because I didn’t understand a lot of the car and gun talk so I was confused at some points 😅 but if you understand the type of lingo that is used, you would probably really enjoy this!
