Recovering addict Mickey Larwood has worked hard to leave his past behind. He can’t look back, not even for the beautiful Benito, the last soul on earth he expected to steal his heart—a soul who’s knee-deep in the underworld Mickey has run hundreds of miles to escape.
Benito can deny it all he wants, but Mickey can smell trouble a mile off.
And Benito is trouble with a capital T. As his desperate lies unravel, so does the fledgling love that’s grown between them. If Benito wants deliverance from his old life and a future with Mickey, old ghosts need to die.
If they don’t kill him first.
Gritty
and raw. Two words that described Garrett Leigh’s Deliverance -
part of the Darkest Skies series. Ms. Leigh never failed to
capture my attention with her numerous books, and Deliverance hit all
the marks.
Gang
life on the streets was tough and cruel, and Benito knew it all too well. Meeting
Mickey and the security of his sister and mother, gave Beni a new look on life;
one that involved leaving the past behind.
Of
course, not everything went as planned, and Ms. Leigh took the reader on
an emotional rollercoaster that tethered on the precipice of disaster.
I
appreciated Ms. Leigh addressing the jargon used in the book, as an American
reader, I am not always familiar with the slang. This allowed me to stay focused
on the story and not have to surmise the meaning.
Ms.
Leigh
is a wonderful storyteller of grit and emotion, hitting the mark on enveloping
the reader and crating a world that came to life.
Benito
and Mickey were wonderfully written, nothing held back, and emotionally
charged.
Deliverance was a winner and
one to not be missed.
