I must admit to being a little uncomfortable with this story initially. Can murder ever be justified? However, as the nature of the town in which the story is set was gradually revealed, it became apparent that there was no other way.
This is a well-paced story with enough action to maintain interest while at the same time providing enough background and character detail to enable the reader to relate on an emotional level. I liked the character of Roman so much that I'm hoping for a sequel so that I can meet him again.
Another good read from Ey Wade.

Life Demands Action. Yes, it certainly does. When the legal system fails a town of children who are being preyed on by pedophiles, a few citizens (one in particular) decide to take matters into their own hands.
I won’t say that this is a “feel-good” book – it isn’t, but Ey Wade manages to capture the wide range of emotions that come to surface when people cannot depend on “the powers that be” to do the right thing. Rage, denial, guilt, sadness, hopelessness…you will find it all in this small, Texas town.
I found myself being able to relate to different characters in this book – and some characters I wanted to throttle with my own hands. One character who surprised me was Vivian. As a mother myself, I found it hard to believe that another mother would handle herself the way she did after she found out such devastating news. Also, Vivian’s parents did not react in a way my own parents would have. Let’s put it this way, if anyone were to ever touch my children in a harmful way, I would kill them. If I didn’t get to them first, my father would.
I enjoyed this book. Durham was my favorite character. He was like an onion with many layers that kept being revealed. I love it when a character has depth. I love it when you think you know a character and you end up not knowing them at all! There were many surprising twists in the story. The sad part about it is that it’s totally believable and has happened many times. I’m so glad Ey Wade’s book sheds some light on this very serious topic.

A true page turner showing the need for justice and the prevention of crimes. While Durham and Penny's methods in seeing justice through aren't legal their motives are understandable. Wade created a strong and rivoting read full of thick plot lines and solid characters.- Author of Sarah's Secret

A cleverly spun tale of retribution featuring a well-rounded cast of characters. It's clear the author has done extensive research on the subject of child abuse and is truly trying to make a difference with this book. I wish the nefarious nature of the town were explained a bit more but overall there was a nice balance of dialogue and exposition. A solid read, well-written and engaging.
