Browsing in a bookstore, a book catches your attention. Maybe it was the title. Perhaps the cover drew you in. Curious, you open to the first chapter and read the opening lines:

The four best friends stood shoulder to shoulder in the cold, driving rain. The future stretched only one second ahead in their minds. The hulking man screaming in their faces prevented them from thinking of anything else.

Reader Reviews

 This is the book that kept me up until 2 am because I couldn’t put it down. Wonderful characters, so well written I truly felt I knew them and a story that drew me in and kept me riveted to the end.  

 Once i started reading it i couldn't put it down. It had lots of twists and kept you on the edge of your seat wondering what would happen.  

 Since I live in Western NC where it is set, I was drawn to it and found it to be very true to the small towns of the region and the challenges they now face.
