Blacktop Wasteland By S.A. Cosby
By S.A. Cosby
This book follows Bug Montage as he gets himself back into a life of crime as a getaway driver, a skill he inherited from his late father, a man he idolizes even though he left his kid behind to be a criminal.
Bug has fought against that life, trying to be a good husband and father to his two boys, but under the crushing weight of mounting debts due to a failing business and his mother's stay at a home for the aged Bug finds an opportunity to get to the better side of financial stability by returning to the life he tried to leave behind.
He finds that he is in a battle with himself, because he likes being a getaway driver and the risk and adrenaline involved. He battles with himself over whether or not he can truly be a changed man. In the end, is he going to end up like his father?
This was a good book, though I think I would have liked it better if I was a fan of cars. It's a decidedly masculine story. Despite that, I was interested in his struggle and how his boys deal with Bug's criminal life when it impinges on their own idyllic one. It's a 4-star book for me.
