Ruin Road by Lamar Giles

5.0

Lamar Giles, you got yourself a new fan. I loved this book so so so so much. Don't get me wrong, it is a HEAVY book but it's written incredibly well.

Ruin Road reminded me of a Stephen King novel in the best ways -- cursed objects, people acting badly, death of characters, sacrifice and a bit of an adventure. As a Black teen living in a low-income neighborhood, highschool football star Cade wishes people would stop being so afraid around him. He quickly learns that a little fear is actually a good thing. 

Thank you a million times over for the advanced copy, I'm now going to buy all of Giles' other books.

I was given an advanced copy for review, all thoughts are entirely my own. Thank you Page Street YA  and Colored Pages Book Tour for the opportunity.
