This is my favorite book by far. The characters totally came alive for me and I love Tawni's writing style. I only wish she had more books out there!

This is a great book! It is modern, perverted, but incredibly real, and it totally captivates your mind. When you start reading, you just can't stop, and every page has something worth while in it. Most books I have read have a few good chapters and a lot of boring ones, but every single page is good. BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ, BUY IT, READ IT, LOVE IT!

I gave it a 4 because even tho' it was a 'wow' book,it wasn't the best,the thoughts of violent kill was almost overkill and the vulgarity!! I knowpeople use the 'f' word overtime but to read it in print all the time is a bit much. But it was a very good book in all. the plotline I thought at first was humdrum but Twani O'Dell made it orginial. Thank you for a good start in my summer reading!

It's a great book! It's funny and sexy at times. Its sad, mad.... its a mix of different emotions. Harley Altmyer is a truly amazing fictional character.

Backroads is by far the best book I have read in my life. I have read this book about four times. With the mix of suspense. humor, and a pervertedness it is by far the best. I give this book a big two thumbs up.
