I read about this book on an Amazon blog. I don't recall which one. It sounded interesting so I decided to take a chance. It was not a complete disappointment, but also not a pleasant surprise.

The Fireson brothers (popularly known as the Firefly brothers) are 30's era bank robbers. They discover they cannot be (permanently) killed. Several times during the novel they are seemingly dispatched only to 'wake up' in the morgue or in the back of a car. Over time their wounds miraculously heal. The Fireson's have no explanation for their ability.

The book uses the magical element as a hook, but the story is more about middle America during the Great Depression. This seems like an interesting, if not original, idea. The writing is a distraction as purple prose is scattered throughout the novel.

Overall I would say it is not worth the time to read.
