The first thing that made this book hard to read were technical issues in the writing and the format. It was a good concept, I just wasn’t sold on the execution. I like the idea of the outsider having an affair with a waitress who no one likes for various reasons. I liked the set up of a hero getting stranded in a town where crazy things are happening. For a fully synopsis, see this book’s Goodreads page. I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Ī writer finds himself stranded in a small town where murders are happening and the town is blaming the waitress he’s fallen in love with. Trigger warning: This book contains themes of sexual abuse and pedophilia. So even though this wasn’t for me, I’m putting it out there for others who might want to pick it up. I wasn’t going to do a blog review on this book, but I decided that just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean that someone else won’t. It’s rare that I come across a book that I have a hard time getting through, but sadly, they do happen.

With as insane as the con gets, you’d think I wouldn’t have had time to read, but I needed at least one down night, and finishing this was how I spent it. I finished this book during Gencon, which my husband and I go to every year.
