Summary
Brendan Cobb calls it tar, but there might be as many names for it as cities left standing.
To some, it’s known as filth, or blight. Others call it the Black God in reverential whispers. Whatever name it takes, the effects are the same. Cities left in ruins. People turned into monsters. Living infections with no known cure. The best anyone can do is avoid it, but even that gets harder the more it spreads.
Brendan survives this waking nightmare by trading salvage for shelter and for repairs to his cybernetic arm, until a newcomer arrives, convinced Brendan is the key to ridding the world of tar once and for all. Reluctantly, Brendan and his mechanic join the newcomer on a journey across the desolate highways of a ruined world, where he learns the true history of the tar…and of the dark power inside him, which grows stronger every day.

My Thoughts
I can honestly say that I did not really expect to like this book! Even when I first started it, I was unsure if I would be bale to get into it. Then... it sucked me right in!
Brendan's personality s hard to like but you also don't hate him. I found myself getting frustrated with some of his choices yet also feeling like I might make the same choices at times! Krystal is definitely my favorite character in this story. In my opinion, she makes the book!
Tar is definitely not like any book I have ever read before. I highly recommend it! I can see this as a movie, for sure! I know would watch it!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
