Long Black Curl

I was able to read this book in a single sitting, thanks to the Black Friday slowness at work. (No one buys paint on Black Friday.)

As usual, the text was tight and flowing. The characters were unforgettable. The setting was pristine in its backwoods poverty.

However, with this book, a tale of revenge and power, Bledsoe created in Bo-Kate Wisby one of the most memorable and interesting villains in recent literary memory. She is at once a despised character, but also someone you cannot stop watching. Absolutely riveting!
