Cosby is such a talented author and his books never disappoint. In comparison to others, this one wasn’t my favorite although I can’t pinpoint a specific reason. I did feel like this book focused more on the community than individual characters, which was cool. It’s always rare to find a book that you can call the town a character and have it done well and this is one of those cases.

I rather enjoy a Christ-haunted psychological terror type novel and this was very solid. Great writing,plot, setting.... Very unsettling but beautifully written!

4.5 stars!

Gripping, visceral, and profound, S.A. Cosby's "All the Sinners Bleed" is an absolute must-read. It is full of thrilling twists, bloody action, and important conversations about race, good versus evil, police brutality/necessity, religion, and the general direction in which our country is headed. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, and just when you think you know what will happen, Cosby yanks you in a different direction. I was enthralled and entranced by this book. This story is dripping with suspense and mystery and intrigue, and I loved every single minute of it. S.A. Cosby is an immensely talented writer, and I cannot wait to read what he writes next. Some readers might find this book too violent and bloody, but I think it serves a purpose and is integral to the plot. Adam Lazarre-White's voiceover narration is some of the best I have ever heard. His voice aids in making this book effective and potently powerful. Just tremendous work here all around.

Thank you to NetGalley, S.A. Cosby, and Macmillan Audio for the complimentary ALC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.
