The Unkillable Frank Lightning by Josh Rountree
4.5
I’m having such a hard time trying to find how to properly review this book. I thought it was quite frankly (😌) incredible. it was emotional, and mesmerizing, and just overall Good. Josh Rountree’s writing is so so spectacular. every word felt like it was thought over and picked to be the best one.
A woman hires two killers—brothers—to help her set out on an unbeatable task, to kill her late husband. And the rest of this story was not at all the route I expected it to take. By the end, I was so emotionally attached to some of these characters I was in tears, and I haven’t cried over a book the way I did in awhile. Finding out that this takes place in an expanded universe has me so excited to pick up the others, knowing that Rountree pulled inspiration from folk takes and some universal monster movies for the rest of the stories he’s written.
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for a review.
