This was, quite simply, one of the more original novels I've read in quite some time. Again, gotta love Partridge's terse, tight narrative, and I like how he balanced the line here: very faint supernatural elements, but really, the only "haunts" in this novel are memories that dog all of the characters. Partridge continues to take me new places, and this is a good thing.

With Partridge's debut novel, he takes you on a whirlwind ride like no other can. Partridge cooks some some terrifying scenes and great characters. He's what you'd get if you threw Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, and Quenting Tarantino together. He's just great.

I personally found this book to be wild. It had danger, mystery, violence, and love all put carefully inside a devouring plot. I would find myself hysterically crying one moment and rivited the next. This book made me have a true understanding of all the April Destino's of the world.
