I loved Razorblade Tears and everyone said this was even better and they were right. I could not put this book down. I love this author’s style. He takes a fictional story filled with action and in every moment he can, throws in the reasons why life is this way for people deemed criminals or hardened or troublemakers. They are humanized as victims of the system and the cycles of poverty as well as having no support when times get tough. He tackles all the “isms” with hard hitting truth. Nothing is sugar coated and you take this ride with the knowledge that this is a reality and there is a real reason behind what happens in society today. I will definitely be reading anything this author writes in the future.
