Being gay and growing up in a conservative state, I totally felt for Bash and Gale, the two main characters from [book:Quake|23900184]. I loved the premise; the New Madrid fault is quite overdue for a large quake, and [author:Lou Cadle|8344489] was able to construct a story and keep you on your toes. While I expected several of the twists and turns, there were quite a few things that I was NOT expecting at all, so Cadle kept me riveted throughout the book.

The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I felt it was wrapped up a little too quickly, and even the ending as it existed didn't leave me with much to hope for. There could have easily been a couple dozen more pages, and while I appreciate how it ended, I just wanted more.
