Welcome to Litsy!

I loved the story, quite different. For a short book it took me ages to read. I think I've reached an age where I need bigger text.

Such a great read! I loved the characters and the fast pace.

I found my new favorite author. His books are not for the squeamish! This book follows a family and their heartbreak with their sons and the Vietnam war. It‘s not about the war itself but how war affects everyone. Prison, murder and two remaining sons who want to have a family connection once again. Heartbreaking and scary done so well together.

Okay, my #BookSpinBingo board is officially looking better! I‘ve completed two bingo lines already, and am just starting the tagged book. I don‘t know if I‘m just in a really generous book rating mood this month, or if these books will hold up… but I‘ve given a lot of 4 and 5 star rating this month. I finished 33 Women this morning and it was so twisted, but so good! #NovelNovember

I have always wanted to read John Hart, because I have heard great things about his writing. I got The Unwilling through NetGalley, and I was not disappointed.
This story of brotherly love is great for anyone looking for a little action and gore and a few tender moments.
If you like C.J. Box you will like John Hart.

I absolutely loved this book. I finished it within two days and was hooked on to every word. I like that this story had the background of the Vietnam war. It provided a backstory that drove a lot of the tension within the story, but it‘s mainly about the person Jason has become after and the people he has got himself entangled with because of the path he had chosen.

Finally got around to opening the boxes that came in while I was at work yesterday. I love book mail.❤️

Great book! Takes place in the 70‘s where one son is killed in Vietnam and another comes home, profoundly changed. There is so much going on I this book!!! I highly recommend!!!!

Wowza! I won this last year in a #BookishFirst raffle but thanks to COVID, the publication date was pushed 8 months! I‘ve been a fan of the author‘s for 12 years & this is one of his best! Set in 1972 in Charlotte, the book follows the French family men- the shadow of the oldest son‘s death in Vietnam & the return of his twin brother, Jason & the reunion with youngest son, Gibson. As much plot-driven as character, it feels epic and thrilling!

What a book!! This author knocked this one out of the park. Out of this world. He made a big impression on me for sure. This was my first John Hart book and I will be reading more...
5/5 huge stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s about the black sheep. Brothers. Parents. It‘s about how those roles can be the biggest assets and the largest curses. And there‘s a murder. John Hart is a favorite time and time again. Fan-girl swoon! Full review at ScrappyMags.com! @StMartinsPress

Great mystery/thriller that takes place in North Carolina during this time of the Vietnam War. There are three brothers in the French family; one died in the war, one's spirit died in the war and comes back with addiction issues, and the third is in high school. My only criticism/ warning to readers is that parts of it are graphic. I often listen to audiobook while cooking and eating which I don't recommend with this particular story.

This book exceeded my expectations. Gibby, a high school senior, gets a chance to reconnect with his brother who has been in prison. Both have demons to get rid of, but Jason is also dealing with the trauma of serving three tours in the Vietnam war. What starts as a fun day, turns into a nightmare. I recommend this book to people who like crime dramas.

I received a free ARC from BookishFirst and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to the publishers for these great ARC‘s. Looking forward to reading these.

Set in the south during the Vietnam War. Robert French was killed in the war. His brother, Jason, home after 3 tours and wants to spend some time with his brother, Gibby. Det. Bill French and his wife, Gabrielle, want Jason to stay away from Gibby as Jason is a hardened soldier of violence and heroin. Page turner, excellent writing, satisfying ending. Recommended June 2020
