Razorblade Tears was perfect in every way. Tons of very heavy content and gore, but so beautifully written it was like watching a movie. I'll be thinking of this story for years to come.

OMG !!! Just finished the audiobook and I am hella salty right now. Great book overall though, S.A. did it again. He is definitely an author you should look out for honestly. Ike and Buddy Lee did what needed to be done. The entire plot was throughly written with such detail and depth. This book will have you emotional just letting y'all know. TW: racism, mental health, and homophobia 

Rate: 10/10

christyjoreads's review

This book was a few kung-fu moves short of a 70s B- movie. Violent, but interesting in some parts, just not enough to keep me engaged. I quit 100 pages from the end.  These dads are awful people set on revenge for their dead gay sons.  Just not for me.

I loved this book from start to end. 
There was some low parts, but never a moment where I wasn't invested in what happens next. Ike and Buddy Lee are great characters, you want to see them become better people. I loved all the characters and the story as a whole. As I said, there was some moment's that where a bit of a leap. But it was never a leap I hadn't already thought could be an option. So there was no crazy out of left field wildness. A very good book, that I think lots can enjoy.
