Fall Book Review Graphic

The Boys Of The Dixie Pig by Stacy Childs was a different book than I have read before.  It is always nice for those of us that read tons of books to read books that are so different from what we usually read.  I love find new authors and new interesting books to read when I have a day or two to pick and read a book of my choosing.  I got this book from NetGalley for free but it was one I picked and since I enjoyed the story I wanted to review it here in case anyone else is looking for a fun book to read.  This book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book and I loved that about it.  I love books that make me want to keep reading them so I can find out what is going to happen and how it is going to end.  If you love books that are super fast pace than I know you will love this book.  I also love how this book started off at a fast past and I didn’t let up until the book was over.  I think this is a book that everyone will enjoy.

About The Book

As a weapons dealer, Mack Barton has spent the last four decades running from someone scary, and now is no exception. A crime boss in Las Vegas wants to kill him because of an overdue gambling debt (one of his bad habits—another is tequila). And is it the C.I.A. blaming him if some munitions fell into the wrong hands in a Syria deal? Or the last Colombia deal?

Thinking it might help him get his mind off his troubles, Mack accepts an invitation to a reunion with his four good friends from high school – the ‘troughers’. He travels to Golden, Colorado, where he and three others are wined and dined by their mutual buddy, Ace Strain, a psychiatrist and the proprietor of a cutting edge cryonics company. Little did he know that, before all was said and done, Colombian gun runners and mob hit men would prove the least of his worries as he, and his companions face intrigue, death, romance, and the question of reincarnated sports stars, caught up in a crazy chain of kidnapping, murder and insanity.
