Interesting look at good and evil and repentance
I received a digital copy of this book as part of a free give-a-way.
"Fly" is a well-written psychological horror/drama that discusses good and evil and the ramifications secrets can have on the soul. The author's characterization of the titular fly as villain and vigilante was interesting and compelling.
I wasn't a fan of the epilogue, but enjoyed the rest of the story.
