Atticus
Author: Abelia Sumpter
Ebook
☆☆☆
eARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
“I was only twelve when I came to the conclusion that I could never be a god. For if I were a god, the beings I deemed wicked would find hell to be a mercy.”
Hinted to be like a game of chess, Atticus is a revenge story at its heart, preparing for his moves ahead and predicting his opponent’s next. Suppressing his grief with all the sex and alcohol, Atticus stops at nothing to get what he wants.
The pacing can be a little off and unbalanced in places, the quick mentions of sex add up so those words could have gone into expanding important aspects. The romance and more of the ‘action’ were squished at the end of the book so some balancing edits would make this story stand out as the bones and concept are great. I look forward to seeing what this author does next.
