Adelaide has barely gotten herself set up in Montana when shit hits the fan. And then it continues to hit over and over until the book is over. Plenty of tense scenes, violence, and some gore. However, it's also a redemption story, which I won't go into detail about since that would require spoilers. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the ending. It wraps up a little too neatly and a little unbelievably.
