The Labasques aren’t like other families.Living in a shack out in the swamps, they made do by hunting down alligators and other animals. To the good people of Jacknife, Louisiana, they are troublemakers and outcasts, the kind of people you wouldn’t want in your community.So, when Cutter Labasque is found face down in the muddy swamp, no one seems to care, not even her two brothers. The only person who questions the official verdict of suicide is Cutter’s childhood friend, Loyal May, who has just returned home to care for her mother. When she left town at eighteen years old, she betrayed Cutter. Now with a ragtag group from the local paper where she works, Loyal goes in search of answers, uncovering a web of deceit and corruption that implicates those in town. It may be too late to apologize to Cutter, but Loyal has restitution in mind.Weaving through the swamps and bayous of rural Louisiana, Our Last Wild Days is an atmospheric, smoldering suspense about our darker impulses—and how to set things right.
My Review:
Our Last Wild Days comes out next week on May 20, 2025, and you can purchase HERE!
"This place," he says, "ain't as untamed as people think. We're already breathing factory air, drinking factory water-they'll build a factory on top of us one of these years, just you wait. We're living in our last wild days, boy. And that ghost gator, she's a relic-something left of the strange beauty of this backcountry. So maybe I am looking, but just to see her. I'm used to looking at things I can't have."
