"Cruel Summer is a crime noir graphic novel that starts with Teeg Lawless' son bungling a local crime boss in order to get the money to get his dad out of jail. When Teeg goes to set things right with the mob boss, he has to resort to more crime to pay off his son's debt. <br/><br/>From here through the rest of the book we see a tragic tale of the cycle of crime and violence that can take over a family. If you love noir like I do, this will be hard to put down. The writing is excellent, the artwork sets the atmosphere and moods perfectly. The character development is excellent as well. This is my first read this author and I can't wait to read more!<br/><br/>Thank you to Diamond Book Distributors, The creative team behind this book, and Edelweiss for gifting me a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own."
