Cataract City by Craig Davidson
4.0
Craig Davidson, also known for his works of horror under the pen name Nick Cutter, writes a gritty tale that takes place in Niagara Falls. Even though this is not horror, there are still plenty of horrific, nail-biting, tense moments.
The two main characters Owen and Duncan face more than their fare share of obstacles in their lives, as kids and adults, and the ugly side of the city rears its head as their tales unfold.
The story spans about 30 years and includes the 80s when the boys are coming of age. Bonus, as I always enjoy references to that decade in books.
The story is a slow burn for a good part of the book, but the last section was very intense and I had a hard time putting it down.
No matter under which name this author writes, you can be sure I'll be reading it!
