“Somewhere under the eye of this storm lay the nexus of a brutally murdered boy, impossible animal tracks, and an unknown killer”
SUMMARY: Abigail Laine is comfortable being the sheriff of Rockbridge, Ohio. She only conducts a few traffic stops a week, has minimal paperwork, and cruises the town’s mostly vacant streets. This leaves her plenty of time to read and keep her living space and work area orderly. But when Caleb Welsh gets murdered on his way home late one Friday night, she’s forced to blow the dust off her badge and find the killer. With the help of Rockbridge’s finest civilians, Laine must draw a line in the salt lick and assure that The Buck Stops Here.
Fun. That’s the first word that comes to mind when describing this book. Off the wall, bonkers, gory, mind-bending fun. It takes the best parts of grindhouse cinema and violent creature features, while also managing to create well-developed characters and twists that left my jaw hanging. Oh and all proceeds benefit the WWF!!
I seriously did not know what I was getting myself into with this book! I thought it was one thing, and then it proceeded to blow my mind several times. This book is also super gory, with grotesquely vivid imagery and descriptions, and it’s hilarious! Any book that features lines like “If he had to slap a deer, he would” and has scenes with flamethrower-wielding characters facing off against mutant beasties gets an A+ in my book! Also, check out this fantastic author inscription!
