Happy Friday One & All,
And also, Happy April! It's April 1st. No, I'm not going to play any April Fool's jokes on you. Just a straight post, so no worries.
Today, though, is a surprise book review! No, the author didn't ask me this time, this is just me telling you about a book I read this week.
On Tuesday, March 29, YA Contemporary author, Katie McGarry's newest Thunder Road series book, Walk The Edge came out. I had pre-ordered an e-book copy and it arrived on Tuesday. I finished it at 11:38 p.m. (between family, and my own writing demands) I finished it.
Razor and Breanna are excellent characters--complex, emotional, and deep.
Katie's writing has a sense of honesty about it. I can't exactly explain it.
Her characters are "broken" and/flawed, but want what's good and right in the world. They have a strong sense of justice. Even if they're down a bad or dark path, they want what's good. They want something right, they just don't always know what the right thing is or how to get it.
Her stories are gritty, and pull no punches.
I've been following Katie's career with great interest (and have read everything she's published) since her first novel, Pushing The Limits (one of my favorites) was first released. (You can read about how I met Katie here).
I also appreciate the amount of time and research she puts into her work.
So, if you're in the mood for motorcycle clubs, emotional story lines, and complex characters, I recommend you head out to Amazon and Barnes & Noble and get yourself a copy of Walk The Edge.
Have A Fabulously Fun Friday!
