Hawk Mountain is one of the most heartbreakingly devastating book I’ve read in a long time. This one was hard to read but I also could not put it down because I had to know how all this tragedy ends. This is not for the faint of heart, it’s horribly sad and incredibly gruesome with visceral descriptions of gore.

 If you want an emotional read, with LQBTQ characters, tons of heartache, and gorey imagery, this one is a must be  prepared! I heard this one was messed up but I had no idea….. going into this one with little info is best!

One of those books that I loved, but wouldn’t recommend to most people due to the triggering subject matter. Check the content warnings!
