5.0

This is a gruesome, horrific and action packed book about racism and homophobia. Buddy and Ike form an unlikely alliance to avenge (revenge?) the deaths of their sons. Lots of trigger warnings and some blatant stereotypes but I personally think the stereotype are part of what makes this book work. I don’t usually gasp out load while reading but several times I balked at what I was reading. Again, gruesome but WORTH IT.
