I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 I hardly know what to write in review of this book. While I have heard about Tiffany Reisz, I had never read a book she'd written. The blurb for this book was captivating enough to get me to try an author that I thought was out of my realm. 
 This book is well written and speeds along for the most part. I had a few issues with *how* we got the story of Tamara and Levi (I don't buy McQueen sitting for this long story and making the proposed exchange) however the full story is compelling and dramatic. The last half of the book had my rapt attention. 
 Most of all I enjoyed the education about bourbon and how it's made. I'm a sucker for competence porn and I loved all the dropped tidbits about the barrels and the distillery, what makes bourbon good and what made Red Thread an infamous brand. 
 I'm afraid to drop spoilers-- this story is too complex to neatly gloss over-- so I've given a very broad review. Suffice it to say that this was a great read, very much enjoyed!
