Bull Mountain, by Brian Panowich

5.0

Look, I know it’s barely September and we’ve got the fall book season to get through, but I’m calling it now: this will be one of my best books of the year. It’s perfect fiction, intensely evocative and violent and character-rich. The story is unique and surprisingly suspenseful, with these meaty, oh-shit-oh-shit plot twists that kept me on my toes. (I squeaked “NO!” out loud at one point. Luckily I was alone at the time.) The pacing is impeccable too–there is not one sluggish paragraph–and each new revelation came right as I felt the faint tickles of suspicion in the back of my head. I’m gushing now, I know. It’s that good.
