For me, a little bit of a slow start, but once it got into it, I was in it. There were a lot of sad moments, and the ending was pretty fulfilling for me. Would def be open to reading more from this author.

This was a hard read but there’s something about Crosby’s straightforward writing style that manages to tell so much by saying very little. Ebook had some spelling errors but that’s a nitpick in the long run. Well worth the read.

I liked this book. It got heavy and intense at times. Tears were shed. There were times I felt the description got really long. Overall, I enjoyed the book and I would strongly recommend it.

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.

I really liked this book - it was a huge change from what I normally read. I kept feeling like I would love the movie version! It reminds me of The Equalizer, but with more than one character being developed as the story progresses. Really enjoyed it, but I am not sure who I’d recommend it to.
