I really liked this book. There is something powerful about it. I don't know about how it was framed or presented but somehow it all works together to give you a comperhensive story.

Hurricane Season by Mark Powell is a gripping noir thriller that delves into the themes of battling personal demons, addiction, the harsh realities of prison, and the destructive power of drugs. However, what sets this story apart is that it is not just any ordinary narrative, but rather a powerful love story that takes place amidst the chaos and devastation caused by rampant inequality in America.

Although Shy Walsh is widely regarded as the most exceptional female fighter of her era, a defeat in a championship bout in Las Vegas, coupled with her growing suspicion that she intentionally sought the loss, causes her to retreat to her residence in Central Florida and care for her terminally ill mother. She requires a change in perspective and must compose herself. However, one day she encounters Thomas Clayton, a doctor who has recently been released from prison, and everything takes a turn. Potentially, they develop romantic feelings for each other, nevertheless, Tommy wrestles with his own inner struggles, and the endeavor to construct a life together swiftly deteriorates into a statewide criminal enterprise. Confronted by addiction, guilt, and the distinctive brokenness of being American in the 21st Century, Shy and Tommy spiral into a nightmarish existence marked by crime and seclusion.

The narrative unfolds with relentless suspense, leaving me eagerly flipping through the pages, desperate to know what happens next. The story's gripping pace and constant twists and turns ensured that I am constantly on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down.
