Bait Dog

This is a hard book to read. Heart-wrenching. It isn't fluffy and it isn't feel good. At some points you feel like you are drowning in everything nasty and wrong about people. You keep reading even though you don't want to, even though you can see that is no way out that isn't going to be uglier and more horrible.

This is not escapism. It is not sparkly vampires and unicorns and a world where being the hero is just about picking the side of light and good. This book is hard, because there is no right answer and because it is real.

This is the kind of story that stays with you, that makes you angry and sad in equal measure. It forces you to look at the terrible things in this world, and then issues a challenge: do something about it.
