Rio Youers rocks and rolls in this high-powered action-packed ride through grimy streets and hallways filled with dead bodies and bullets. The Bang Bang Sisters is what you get when you combine kickass characters with an equally badass setting all put on the stove at maximum heat to get all that kinetic energy zooming past you like angry hornets at a rave.
Brea, Jessie, and Flo spend their public lives in bars and stages rocking hard in their band. But what they don’t reveal is that they are skilled at more than just musical instruments. Each possesses unique skillsets in utilizing firearms, melee weapons, and even their bare fists and feet to clean the scum of the Earth. After a close call, they decide to take some time off, but the presence of a serial killer making headlines takes them to Reedsville, Alabama. However, it turns out to be a trap set by a dangerous sadistic mobster who has a personal ax to grind with the Bang Bang Sisters. Soon, they are caught in a dangerous game where the only way to live may be to kill each other.
Youers sets up an enthralling gauntlet for the heroines to battle, ramping up the anxiety, terror, and bloodshed as the sisters quickly get caught up in one twist after another. With a whole city as their playing ground, there is no shortage of gripping events and bolstering action as sisters have to fend off each other. What truly sets the dark and gritty tone of the narrative is the feeling of despair and helplessness that leaves the sisters open to desperate measures. It’s a thrilling adventure as we follow each of the three heroines try to outmaneuver not only each other but the vicious killers on their trail goading them on to kill each other for sport. The action sequences are vicious and breathtaking with a heavy toll on both the characters and readers, brilliantly showcasing Youers’ ability to evoke powerful emotions in his deeply personal storytelling.
The Bang Bang Sisters is an adrenaline-fueled battle royale tour de force with captivating protagonists who reflect the best of us in a twisted world. It is everything you want in a fast-paced thriller that sinks its talons into you for the whole intense ride.
