I am a big fan of Blake work, since I loved 2 of his past books. So when I was gave the opportunity to review this book I jumped without even think. Is a very emotional draining book and I dunno if is because is a older work of the author it seems to me that it take long time to actually enjoy the plot. It took several chapters that I felt that where going over the same and it become a bit boring in a way. But that’s the only down fall. In general Blake is such a magnificent storyteller and he is brilliant creating characters. If you like the author it work give it a shot to this book. Like I said is a well written book. And we enjoy it for most of the part it took ⭐️⭐️⭐️ from this reader. Big shout out to NetGalley and Pam Macmillian for the ARC

I love Blake Crouch, but this book wasn’t my cup of tea. Maybe it was the western vibes, maybe it was the predictable greed guiding everyone’s decisions, I don’t know, I just didn’t really enjoy this one as much as the others I’ve read. I feel like my dad would really like this one, so maybe I wasn’t the target audience.

It's a nice, quick read. Nothing too special, but not bad, either.

Definitely not his best work in my opinion, but be the end of it i was hooked. It wasn't as exciting as his sci-fi that I've read. But, man, he writes some terrible characters. I was so mad at so many of these people. A story of greed greed greed and maybe a little crazy. lol. It was pretty sad by the end, probably why i was so committed by that point. I didnt want to put it down.
