One to Go by Mike Pace

     A book so good- so funny, original and with just the perfect combination of faith, horror, murder and more!  So much more!
Mike Pace sent this book to me as part of a drawing - I remember winning it but I don't remember who hosted it.  Regardless, I'm grateful I won because this book was mind-warping!
(Original book cover, modified by me for blog.)      One to Go is about some seriously bad luck!    Tom's a smart guy.  Book smart.  Many of us know, you can have all the book smarts in the world but if you carry no common sense, you're going to have some trouble.  Tom knows the law- he works for the law, but he doesn't follow the rules, especially when he's drinking and driving.  And texting and driving... which is what gets him into the situation this book finds him.  He's caused an accident that gets his sister-in-law, nieces, friends and his own daughter killed.  Yes, KILLED!  But a strange couple, who can change all that, offer up a deal.  

     Tom is given a second chance, to save his little girl, her friends and cousins and even his sister-in-law, but at a price so great, it places him in constant jeopardy!  Dangers where his own life is risked to save theirs!  He's a hot mess the entire story, from the very beginning but it's such a train wreck, you can't help but keep reading!  You don' know whether to cheer for Tom and his ignorance or for the ones who are pushing him over the edge - but you cheer nonetheless,

     This book was a huge breath of fresh air.  It was different, original and a push that kept me reading.  It's not a huge book, but with my hectic scheduling, I probably could have finished this in two days.  It took me a little over three.  I enjoyed it so much- I'd probably reread this one.  I'm so happy I own it.  You should check it out too.  You'll be slapping your forehead, running the palm of your hand down your face and kicking at the air, envisioning Tom's butt before you- kinda good.  Ha!  Read it while I move on!
