First of all, everyone who said to read to S. A. Cosby books via audiobook did not lie! The narrator was top notch. 

I've never read a heist thriller and I so enjoyed this one. Bug was such an interesting, dynamic, well-written character and the heartbreaking dilemmas he faced that led to the decisions he made felt so real and alive. In a world where he's tried hard to get away from the man he used to be, his old world and new world collide in the worst way, and Blacktop Wasteland is a lesson in what happens when you operate in fear.
