First and foremost, I fell in love with the author's style and voice in this dark and twisted look at a small town that has long lost hope for better things. The rampant drug use is so common there is no real emotion attached to deaths coming from those caught in the clutches of meth and pills. This isn't much of a surprise when the mayor and sheriff, quite the father and son duo, are also the biggest pushers of illicit substances and activities. Boone, the main character, and son-in-law of the aforementioned mayor, is caught up in the age old battle between good and evil, right and wrong. He has been stuck so long, in such a dour setiing, that the lines between have long since been more than simply blurred. The price of getting the getting the girl he thought was the one of his dreams was much higher than he could ever imagined, but the daughter he shares with her is the one light in this dark tale.

Mr. Saylor does a brilliant job of using repition to tie parts of the story together, and amazing dark imagery to really bring the dark tale to life. This is not your over idealized small town that so many authors try to bring to life, but quite possibly a much more realistic (if campily over the top) view of too many of these towns that are caught in the struggles of our times.

Most of the characters do not have relatable personalities - while I saw complaints about this in other reviews, I embraced that as part of the brilliance of the writing style. These characters are not meant to be embraced and they are motivated by either greed or hopelessness. Neither is a warm and fuzzy way of life, so why would you expect warm and fuzzy feelings either from or about them? This isn't a romance, the characters are not supposed to have hearts of gold hidden under troubled exteriors. I found it completely enthralling and nearly impossible to put down. I have read some of the author's short stories, but will be anxiously awaiting the next full length novel of his.

I can understand that this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone looking for something darkly different. For mature audiences for violence, language, drug abuse and generally dark/adult themes.

Additional kudos for the use of music throughout - one of the best uses I have seen in recent memory to enhance the image of the characters. From the downright chilling use of Nazareth for Sheriff Sloane, to the poignant use of Merle Haggard for Boone and his brother Jimmy, to the relatable songs loading the jukebox in the bar, to the techno babbling at the party house, it was executed most excellently and served as a unique way to paint the scenes/characters.

Loved it. I loved the balance between the gritty, seamy life of the crime family versus the son-in-law who wonders how he got mixed up with them and how he will ever get away from them. The author also balances the contrast between the grimness of the scenery with the beauty of the blue mountain orchids that grow in the hills eastern Kentucky, which several of the characters love. It's intriguing to see a part of life that is loved by both good and bad, as a thing they hold in common. The pace moves along rapidly, from fast-moving incident to calm stretches of time to fast-moving incident, all while showing the reader the thoughts and emotions of the character whose points of view is being shown. This was a fun story to read.
There is so much to like about Sewerville by Aaron Saylor. The characters have depth, the plot is one of lost chances, lost souls, and redemption, the story has drugs, murder, and double crossings, and there are plenty of plot twists to keep a reader flying through the pages.

The setting for this far-reaching novel is Sewardville and the town is controlled by the powerful arm of Walter Slone. He sits as the mayor of the town, his son is the Sheriff, and the crime and drug trade is under their control. Boone is the enforcer for the town and for the family and he is the main character. Nothing goes on in the town without the Slone family approval. But when events that are not condoned by the family begin to happen, the ripple effects begin to take on a life of their own.

Boone’s brother, Jimmy, kills a local deputy and wounds the Sheriff in a moment of rage. The distribution of consequences falls to Boone and he is tasked with the murder of his own brother. The ramifications for this action lead Boone to question his commitment to the town, the family, and to himself. The matter that complicates this internal struggle is Boone is married to Walter Slone’s daughter and this marriage has given them a daughter, a granddaughter that Walter Slone is furiously protective of and would never allow Boone to take from him.

Saylor’s writing has great depth and he has an ability to show brutality on one page and extreme heart on the next. That allowed this book to have a deep, heartfelt vibe that resonated with me. Boone’s internal struggle between what he wanted from his life, what he has done with his life, and his biggest struggle, what will he do with the rest of his life, is a beautifully crafted piece of writing and brought this story to life.

I am thrilled that this author got onto my radar. His writing is great and shows promise of even better things to come. I will be looking for more from him and you would be smart to grab a copy of this book and enjoy.

Highly recommended.
