Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wild ride by Adam Hamdy. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Peyton Collard was a good man once, but his life changed after a horrific car accident. Now he's divorced, drunk, and severely damaged, Peyton is offered a life-changing sum of money to kill an evil man. But as he goes on a vigilante journey that leaves a trail of bodies across California, Peyton wonders about the identity of his anonymous patron. Soon, his questions become an obsession, and he embarks on a tense and potentially deadly investigation to discover the truth about the murders he’s committed.
This is like an action movie where you have to suspend some disbelief, but you are totally in for the ride, wherever it takes you. This book is written in the first person, which made it even better. You feel like Peyton is talking to you, asking you to understand him, and to put yourself in his shoes. And you do think about where that line is on what you would do if you were desperate. Peyton was trying so hard to be a good dad to his daughter, Skye, and he just kept making bad decisions. And drinking and running his mouth, which of course, go hand in hand. It's gritty, raw, with that dark humor that I love. It has short chapters and I kept telling myself just one more because I didn't want to put it down. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!
