momadvice 's review for:
The Bright Lands
by John Fram
Friday Night Lights meets Stephen King is how this novel was described and why I decided to pick it up.
Who doesn’t love a little horror mixed in with their football?
Joel Whitley was shamed for being gay, in his conservative hometown, and now has made a life for himself in New York.
He had no plans to return until the disappearance of his brother and now he finds himself back in a town and haunted by memories that he would rather not face.
He finds an unlikely ally in the high school’s star cheerleader. The two begin to unravel an underground secret that the town has kept hidden for years and must team up to bring justice for Joel’s brother.
The book is graphic, particularly some of the sex scenes, but I can see how they helped to move the story.
I listened to this as an audiobook and thought the narration was great and the story was well-written.
It’s a solid debut and I look forward to what Fram has in store for us next.
