reviewed Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward (Bois Sauvage, #2)

Tough but good. Just check trigger warnings before starting.

This was a bit of a rough read for me due to the dog fights, but Ward has such a way with describing her characters and their emotions/thoughts. I would recommend this one because it really pulled me in and had me rooting for the family when Katrina was rolling in. But just make sure you're in a place to handle the animal violence/gore and the not-so-happy events that occur.
