Can't have a blood feud without spilling a little (a lot) of blood. This was gnarly, Andrew Joseph White is so good at instilling a bunch of emotion and passion into some really dark scenarios. I was so invested in the well-being of the Abernathys. Mile's family is so loving despite their flaws (except Lady the dog, she has no flaws). While I was expecting the blood feud would have to end in some way, I had no idea who would live to see the end the whole time. I've read two of White's books now, and he's definitely on my list of authors to watch for.
