Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich
5.0
When I first read the blurb for this book I was so excited. The setting is in my area in Georgia and well, I love some crazy rednecks. Thanks to my friend karen I was able to read this book. Thanks again!
The book is the story of a family of outlaws, aka "Hillybilly Godfathers." It sweeps over the time of the grandfather, his son and then the remaining three sons. They started off on Bull Mountain with moonshining. They realize that moonshining is soon a thing of the past and they want to be an empire.
These aren't your typical redneck idiots.
From that they move on to growing marijuana and then meth.
One of the sons has tried to leave the family's legacy and is the local sheriff. Is he that figure-head that his brother's allow?
This book is dark. No sunshine coming through the cracks in it. But, DAMN...it's good. The writing is slow paced and sweeps you into the story so much that several times my breathing quickened.
At first I was a tad bit ticked off about how the author depicted the people living in this area, but then as I read I thought...you know what? I know people like this. This shit could happen. The North GA Mtns are beautiful but they are secluded enough that sometimes the law gets overlooked, or bought.
There was a twist to this book that I thought was going to ruin the book for me, but the author pulled it through amazingly..and I was all in...AND THAT ENDING!!!!!!!
