Praise
Hale County - For someone who does not enjoy reading, this book was a pleasant surprise. It is very well written and so descriptive that you feel like you’re watching a movie rather than reading a book. You feel like you’re right there in the story. That is the thing I like the most about the book is how creatively descriptive it is.. The story kept you guessing. This book has fantasy, mystery, drama, and romance. It has the right amount of everything. I really enjoyed the book and highly recommend the read.
Hale County is a book I can’t stop thinking about. The epitome of book hangover. I enjoyed the intro to all the main characters as I got to learn about each & get a feel for who/what they were as the story unfolds. Growing up knowing of some of the characters made it almost real in certain aspects, & I felt I was a character watching a play the whole time I read this book. The story has so many twists & caught me by surprise numerous times. Definitely a story that’s on my “reread” shelf. A big thanks to Chad Martin for thinking of us book lovers & writing a fantastic read!
Hale County is an amazing book that glues you to it to see what happens next. Mr Martin makes you feel like you are a part of the story and I can't wait to read his other novels!!!
Midnight Rodeo - Fabulous vocabulary, unrelenting in its presentation, and a never give up theme that defies explanation. This is like a whole new format for a not explainable horror and science fiction rolled into one.
Midnight Rodeo - Very well written. The author is able to draw one in as a reader. One is able to identify him or herself as a charter in this very dark twisted town in Texas. As a reader i found myself waiting with anticipation for the hero to step up and end what seemed to be a horrific never ending nightmare holding my breath with each turn of the page eagerly anticipating the bright light at the end of most novels like this. Imagine the surprise that indeed there is a light BLINK-BLINK!!!!!!
A must read!
