I was actually in Atlanta when I was reading this book, which was a little...stressful. I remember the D.C. snipers. The thing about a sniper is that you don't know if they're targeting you, so it makes you really paranoid. They could be anywhere. You're just driving down the road, and BOOM that's it, lights out. You pretty much have to hole up in a cabin in the woods to feel even a little bit safer. And still, you never know. Even with family. It's not safe anywhere.
Brotherly love isn't usually gentle, is it? Sometimes a brother's love hurts. Sometimes it's not love, but what else can you call the bond that makes you come back for more, even when you know what's going to happen is going to hurt? It could be the guilt that makes you bend to his will. Or it could be a broken bone, or a broken home. Either way you can't fight the blood in your veins any more than you can fight your own nature.
Violet Darger gets up close and personal with family in Killing Season, and while she has to accept that she can't control everything, she does manage to open up to the people close to her. She could use more of that. She might be an outsider, but even outsiders need friends. And vacations.
But fortunately for us, it doesn't look like she's going to get much time off. She is always getting caught in the crossfire. It takes a strong woman to stop a psychopath. I hope she's strong enough.
Speaking of getting closer to people, I feel like I'm getting to know Violet Darger and Victor Loshak like family. I'm getting pretty attached to them. So I'm glad to hear there's another book in the pipes already!
This is a great series, and the active fan base means the authors are basically being harassed into writing more books for us because we demand them! I love that about good writers. You can break their legs and lock them in a room in your cabin and force them to write for you. It's probably my favorite part about being their biggest fan.
So yeah, if you're an avid reader and you really like being freaked out and love thrillers, or horror, or just really good writing with characters you will never forget, you should check these authors out. They're deeply disturbed individuals who also happen to be chained to a desk in my guest bedroom. I mean, who also happen to be really entertaining people who write scary, fast-paced, deeply disturbing fiction. So if you're into that, check this and all their books out. I'll make sure they work around the clock to deliver what we all want, which is more of books like this! Can I get an amen? I have never seen anybody eat pizza like these two. And I've had to set up automatic delivery of Cool Ranch Doritos and Skittles. But it's all worth it, when I get another Violet Darger book. We all have to make sacrifices for our art.
Violet is about to find out that sometimes getting close to family can be explosive. Sometimes it blows up in your face.
You know, another thing about brothers is that you would give anything for them, if it meant you could save them. Or you would kill for them. Or you would kill yourself to get away for them. Or you would kill them. I guess it depends on what kind of brother you have.

Popular Highlights in this book
Tradition defied logic, she supposed. That was what made it a tradition, wasn’t it? We do it because we do it. Not because it makes sense.Highlighted by 150 Kindle readers- Human beings like to think of themselves as sitting higher up the chain than animals. More evolved. But what is a social custom other than an animal habit meant to serve some baser instinct? If things were reversed, if we sniffed each other’s asses in greeting and dogs were the ones that shook hands, we would surely still consider ourselves the superior beings.Highlighted by 150 Kindle readers
