“Evil is rarely complicated. It’s just Fucking bold.”

“Nobody wants to pill back the mask on a hero.”

And another!!! My second read by this author and i absolutely love so far. This book was amazing and could definitely be a movie or tv show. Some tw/cw because this book gets dark, racist, brutal and religious. Families that have people missing and wonder if they’ll ever see them again is a pain i never want to feel. Treating people wrong due to their skin hue will forever be the dumbest thing. Small towns come with a lot of bs sometimes and this was one of those times. 

The way S. A. Cosby wrote Titus Crowne, this story and town just takes you in right away. Titus has many layers to him that i love. I know Titus gets down if you know what i mean. Love, family, career, emotions and more. He was absolutely perfect. 

-Scott got my nerves wanting things to get down asap but the moment the killer might be his family now he wants respects. LOL. 
-Gabriel using religion to cause harm because he was wronged as a child. I felt for him because he didn’t deserve that treatment when he was younger. People will turn you into something you have to break. 
-The teacher most certainly disgusting. It goes to show be there for your babies because you never know who someone truly is. 
-The school shooting was a cry for help. They wanted the pain to end. Should have went about it a different way of course. Like the basketball player said who was the town going to believe me or the teacher of the year. 

Just go ahead and read or listen to the book.
