Thank you so much to NetGalley and Flux books for allowing me to read and review “Shoot the Moon” by Kate Watson. What an insightful look at addiction. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that so deeply takes us into the numbing, heart-pounding world of brain-chemistry changing addiction, where just the mention of a trigger, a let-down during the course of the day, or just not having enough to DO can cause that itch to beg incessantly to be scratched. Kate Watson illustrated that so beautifully through Tate’s struggles and eventual management of his disease.

And the plotting and narrative of this was so nicely done. I loved the creativity in the characters of the Wolfs, of Alex, the angry daughter who is out to hurt everyone she touches, the toxic parents, the campaign pitting two relatives by marriage against one another that exposes all sorts of dirt. The mafia and the secrets that they hold and use. This was entertaining and brilliantly plotted. An entertaining treat from start to finish.
