Book 2 does not disappoint
Waiting for book 3. This series is entertaining and captivating, just what a good read should be.
I am still trying to figure out where the author’s dad’s pier is. I live, work, play and go to church in this area. We walk our dogs down Salt Aire Road and on Nursery Road.

Buckle up for a wild ride!
Oh my goodness! My head is spinning at that ending. I’m kind of speechless. Wow. I’m hoping we don’t have to wait very long for the next part of Jules’ saga. This is a must read!

Fast paced
This is second in a series set in a dysmorphic time in South Alabama. It centers around a family Jules, who had a brutal bereavement and now is caring for and loving a pubescent boy. The family is close knit and never far from danger.
