This book was different from what I expected from S.A. Cosby, considering the other two books by him I have read. It was much more a police procedural rather than a vigilante thriller. And for that reason I found it a bit more predictable and slower paced than I was expecting. It took me a while to get into, and I kept expecting a bigger twist than I got. So I did not end up liking this book as much as I wanted to. However, that said, it was still an incredibly well written book. Titus was a phenomenal character with so much internal conflict about his career in law enforcement as a Black man. He also had a complicated past with his FBI career and family that gave him even more to work through. I was rooting for him and his happiness that he so deserved. I also really liked the setting of Charon County. It was perfect for this plot and I loved the interludes that described it and all its depth and darkness. Lastly, I really enjoyed the ending of this book for Titus. So overall while this wasn’t what I expected I did still enjoy it.
