Hood River Rat by K Webster

5.0

Oh my, oh my, oh my!!!!

I will say I'm so glad I bought but haven't yet read Bully Me. I found out the cliffhanger in it would have killed me. For those that are confused, Hood River Rat was a part of the Bully Me: Class of 2020 anthology. In Bully Me, it ended in what would have been a devastating, nerve wracking, heart palpitations inducing cliffhanger. Thankfully, I have the copy unopened 5 ft from me.

Hood River Rat is K Webster gold. I was close to tears too many times to count. These boys are in a world of hurt. They live very different lives. It's both a tragedy and also the reason they work. Their connection is tangible. The emotions, longing, need, lust, and other "l" words are visceral. It's bone deep.


Ahhhh! I just want to hug them, hold them, and keep them safe. I'm also wickedly intrigued by the rest of the Hoodlums. I will say that my favorite Hoodlum may be busy but when he is free he better claim what's his!
