The Bright Lands is an emotional thriller. Very intense with strong language and strong characters. A little too much strong language for me but as the story unwinds, there are many surprises, twists and turns that make this an enjoyable read. I would like to thank Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of this book.

The subject of this book isn’t what I expected but WOW!!! I thrill ride and page turner from beginning to end - just couldn’t put it down!

Thank you Net Galley for the free ARC. Murder mystery about a rural quarterback found stabbed to death. I felt that the language full of needless curse words and made it a little juvenile. Maybe this would appeal to a younger audience.
