The combination of beautiful prose, high octane action, and deeply relatable characters makes Blacktop Wasteland one of the best books of 2020 and it's author S.A. Cosby is a must read for me.
Beauregard Montage is a loving father and husband, a loyal friend, and honest mechanic. Bug, like his father before him, is a virtuoso wheelman and adrenaline junky who is prone to fits of violence.
In artistically described settings that touch on each of our five senses, we watch the internal battle between Beauregard and Bug play out. Readers are treated to a variety of action sequences worthy of their own summer blockbuster on the big screen, with muscle cars rocketing down the road, meticulously planned heists, and ever changing allies and foes.
Underneath all the kinetic energy of the men and machines, the deep connection between Beauregard and his family is constantly felt, bubbling just below the surface...raising the stakes and spiking our emotional tachometer into the red.
I will admit that this novel had slipped down my To Be Read pile for some inexplicable reason, it wasn't until the other reviewers at Best Thriller Books nearly kicked me out of the group that I quickly got my copy and slammed through it in under 24 hours.
Don't be like me... read this book ASAP!
