Where do I even begin with this one? It was just so good! This story was fast-paced and went straight for the jugular with its coming-of-age aspects that are both heart-wrenching and brilliant.

What do we have? Two brothers. A crappy dad. A mom the boys long to be with. And a hunting event looming on the horizon. This is a recipe for suspense and lots of emotions! And I can't say anything else because it would be unfair to you, the reader, to rob you of going into this book semi-blind.

I enjoyed how seamlessly these authors wrote together as well. There are many times when a book is co-written that you can tell who's who as you're reading if you are familiar with each author. But Newman and Steensland are magic on paper and there's not a single hiccup or bump in the road of this narrative to indicate it's not one flowing story. 5 stars and HIGHLY recommended!
