Kevin reviewed The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin
You won't be able to put it down
5 stars
I've had The Night Always Comes on my bookshelf for 7-8 months now. After picking it up at the Powell's on Hawthorne, I read the first three chapters and knew this was a book that needed to be read after the weather turned colder and wetter. So, on this Thanksgiving break, I pulled it down and ticked in.
It did not disappoint.
This book is an edge-of-your seat thriller best consumed in one or two sessions. Not because it's action-packed (though it does have its share of harrowing scenes), but because the author has done a masterful job at building up the protagonist into someone you just cannot peel your eyes away from. Lynette's 48 hour journey is filled with sentiment, luck, horror, and white-knuckle scenes that the reader will not soon forget.
