I love the "Jack Daniels" series but this one was so disappointing. An interesting take on gun control, laws, gun shows, active shooters, & the debate between guns or no guns. Jack, Phin, Sam, & Jack's mom are all in Florida under assumed names. Jack is still in a wheelchair from being shot in the last book. In this book she's whiny, paranoid, & completely un-Jack-like. She's in physical therapy and has lost faith in herself and her family and has basically cut herself off from friends. The book changes from chapter to chapter from Jack & then to the shooter (Gaff). I had a hard time reading the Gaff chapters because it was a "plural" person who speaks in slang & hashtags (example: Yeet LOL 4realz?) I started skimming those chapters. If people I knew actually talked like that I would slap them across the face. The book comes together at the end but still wasn't worth reading. Very minimal Harry, Herb, & Phin. The Cowboy gets a chapter at the end so I'm looking forward to the next book to wash this one away.
