I am hooked on S.A. Cosby!!! This is my first book I got by him and I got the audiobook version. I was shook throughout the entire book. I like his style of writing. There was a few times I was up late at night just to see what was going to happen in the next chapter. I wanna know if Beauregard's
daughter will really finish college like he told her to do I can see this turning into a tv series or a movie actually.
Overall, this book reminds me of Ocean's 11 but in southern way.

I loved the southern setting of this book. This book explores facing difficult decisions and idealizing people in the past. This book has many content warnings such as gang violence, racism, violence, childhood abandonment, loss of a parent, child gun violence. The MC is grappled with two parts of himself. He views himself as two different men because he spends so much time separating the different parts of himself, trouble has no choice but to follow him. I often had to stop reading this book because I bracing myself for unspeakable violence. I found the pace of this book to slow and wish it was a bit faster.
Overall, I like this book. I have many thoughts on how Kia, the MC wife felt about his dealings and the trauma he put on her family. It felt familiar and I felt anger because of it.
