At First Light by Vanessa Lafaye
5.0
A frightening true story of how the Klu Klux Klan came to town and how one man stayed to fight
Visit the locations in the novel - Come to Key West At First Light
Read this book as soon as you can. It punched me in the gut and I'm still feeling the effects. Based on true facts. So tragic. Makes you think about a lot of issues. The arrival of the KKK in Key West for one and how a person can get sucked in to events without realising how the chain of events is going to pan out.
Vanessa stunned me with her first novel. This is even better. She's a writer to watch for sure and I will be first in line for book three. The stunning, sunny, lazy locations, the humidity the dust bowl of the lazy town .....with evil in its midst.
The ugly tragic side to Key West came to life in this novel and instead of shade, those palm trees created dark dark shadows on life below. The women brought there to work, not a holiday destination but a stay in hell....
I felt so immersed in the events, so helpless at what was to come, and utterly captivated by events as they played out. And all this is based on true facts. My book is now tear stained. Deep breaths needed after this one.
OMG. Highly recommended
