Cusala was an awesome read. It kept me glued to the pages from start to finish. This is the kind of story that makes you look at every stranger with a hint of suspicion and a smidgeon of fear. The characters are full of depth and carry the pace of the plot very nicely. I highly recommend this story and any others by this author. Mr. Black's writing is edgy and he holds nothing back. if you are not thin-skinned or easily offended then this is the guy to read.
