This was an interesting, horrific story and unlike anything I have read before. Desperation has consequences as you will find in these pages. There was a lot of bad language throughout but it was a part of the story.
Many thanks to Sentry Books and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Driller by M. S. Holm.
Retch Barter waits on a waterless ranch for a driller to sink his well. Come to Mexico in bad company and running from a sordid past, Retch lives with Dolores Anguamea, a dark-skinned woman whose history is as scarred as her pockmarked face. While Retch stakes his future on the arrival of the driller, Dolores waits for a chance to quit the godforsaken ranch.
A slow but good read with good characters. 4*. Netgalley and ibpa.
