Very interesting 🌝👍

I found myself enjoying it very much. I love internal conflict and this has plenty. It isn't perfect I have to say(while I love the internal conflict, not much happens to the main character himself. And when something does happened, I'm afraid to spoil, nothing really becomes of it. He kinda of just stalls by talking to the perpetrator, calls for help, and walks away unharmed... Shirtless... Yet unharmed). Though, I feel it makes up for it in how much I enjoyed it. I will be continuing to the next book.
Totally engrossing!

I am a Senior Citizen but this work had me hooked within the first chapter! Barry Lyga weaves an awesome narrative and keeps you engaged from beginning to end! Can't wait to read the two follow-up novels, "Game" and "Blood of My Blood"!!
