Downpour

Once I started Downpour, I couldn't put it down. The pacing was great and the challenges the main character, Scott, had to face in order to protect his family from the horrifying changes occurring outside his home were anxiety-inducing, to say the least. I also found the subtext of the story about the power of childhood trauma to shape one's entire life, and how frightening it can be to let go of that trauma in order to move forward when the future is uncertain, to be very moving. All around, this is a fantastic, quick read that I enjoyed very much. Thank you, NetGalley, Coronis Publishing, and Christopher Hawkins for the opportunity to read and review the advanced reader copy of this book.
