Benjamin Boucvalt

This is a very quick read. The first couple chapters or so did not pull me into the story but since I won this through the Goodreads Giveaway I wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did. Once the story got going, I was quickly pulled into what was happening to the characters. I quickly cared for Ory and Will and what would happen to them. There is lots of fighting, near misses and sadness throughout the book. Every time I read about lives in the south when there were slaves, it just makes my heart heavy. This book does that to me with Will and Johnny's characters. Benjamin does a great job with his first story and if he has more stories in him, I would like to read them.
