Not my usual genre but I enjoyed it. The storytelling was grittier than I expected but it added intensity to the plot. 

I deducted half a star bc there is a decision made by Ike's wife that doesn't make sense given their history. It's a dumb choice that wouldn't be made by the wife of a street-saavy, murderous, ex-con. She should have been smarter than that.

4.0

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.
