In a small Iowa town of Junction, Joey Sheeks, the town’s biggest drug dealer, is found naked and dead in the snow. Junction focuses largely on Zack Harmen as the beneficiary of Joey’s business, we learn about Zack’s life and those around him including his cousins. Another main focus in the book is newcomer Eric Marquez whom seems one step ahead of the law but no one seems to know who he is or where to find him, which is a huge annoyance for the local sheriff. As for the law makes in Junction, are they really as squeaky clean and law abiding as one would expect? Will this book series be another predictable bad cop versus drug ring set up? I guess you will just have to read it to find out!

In some areas, this book is quite predictable, however, this character driven thriller does give a stomach churning read. The author does well to take the reader through different timelines in different locations whilst keeping readers engaged with exciting and descriptive images. Some descriptions are a little too much for ones stomach to handle so be warned.

Like all great multi part stories Junction leaves the reader with questions unanswered and a few cliff hangers to contemplate. I personally found this book a little difficult to get into at first, the timelines felt a bit hodgepodge, as you started to immerse yourself in a character, you were sent whirling into another character, it made them difficult to understand. Once you get past that, readers will find the book very likeable and will understand where each person is coming from and how Joey’s death affects them in a deeper sense than originally realized.

The most off putting part of this book is the blacked out words throughout the whole book, it seems unnecessary to censor this book in such a way.
