Pyres -- Derek Nikitas

Pretty brutal read centering around a teenage girl who's father gets murdered while she's with him in the car (not giving anything away). It's fairly dark for my taste - a little too realistic in terms of the violence and the stupidity that people carry with them. Saying that, I couldn't put it down. Excellent first novel, can't wait to read more by this author.

Sick. In a good way. Quick, taut, bloody well done. Ugly characters. In a good way. Don't hold your breath waiting for what the title means either. Can't wait for his next.
