I finally got around to listening to this! It's read by Dan John Miller and he does a great job. His country accents are perfect.
I have no idea how to write this review. The story is so good and written so well. The characters are real and complex. There is some gore and lots of blood. if the summary sounds interesting to you, just read this book then you'll see what i mean when i say i loved it but i don't know how to tell you about it without spoiling everything. ...more

In the Valley of the Sun by Andy Davidson was a book I do struggled to finish! I like fantasy and horror but this was... hard to follow.
DNF at 17%. I can't take it anymore. I am so bored and uninterested and I am just unable to push on. Not to mention all the stress right now, no sense in reading a book that feels like a chore. It sounds like something up my alley but it just isn't working for me. I'm sorry.

She put her lips to his ear and whispered, "I know your name, boy."
Her breath was terrible, like something gone off, spoiled deep inside.

Reading this book was somehow weird and evoked very contradictory feelings. First: the physical book. It shows a great cover image, but the cover is very flimsy and makes its size too large for comfortable reading. Second: the novel itself. It was truly amazing, honest in its brutality and beautifully sad. Each tiny glimpse of hope that raised its vulnerable flame was sure to be thoroughly crushed, spreading a heartrending loneliness. I was impressed by how easy it was to sympathize with the tor

Davidson's novel is a literary wonder. At times, an extremely slow burn, but totally worth your patience.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is one of my favorite movies. This book felt like the Vampire version of that great film.
If that sounds all right to you, read this one. ...more

This was not like a standard Vampire novel, I thought it was an interesting take but I loved that the vampire was terrifying. What I don't think worked for me was just the setting and the plot around the main character that gets turned.
