Wow — thank you so much, Reader Views, and a huge thank-you to the wonderful reviewer Jill Rey for this incredible 5-star review and for calling Castle Gap “rural fiction at its finest”!
I’m truly honored. Fingers crossed for the 2025 Reader Views Literary Awards!

A small Texas town erupts with corruption, missing people, and backroom power plays when one ruthless empire pushes its luck a little too far. https://readerviews.com/reviews/castle-gap-ivey/

Castle Gap is a featured read on Reedsy's Discovery Weekly!
"The prose is crisp, the dialogue authentic, and the sense of place downright immersive. Castle Gap doesn’t shout; it simmers. It’s a small-town thriller with the grit of Yellowstone and the slow burn intensity of The Wire."

I can't say enough about the power of reviews. Amazon and Goodreads ratings are how authors get visibility. This review is obviously a special one to read as you hope your story finds a good home. 🤗

Author Andy Ivey is doing a reading of Castle Gap tonight at Pecan Creek Outfitters. I’m already several chapters in and it’s a solid small-town Texas thriller — even better hearing it in his own voice. If you like true-to-Texas stories with some grit, this one fits.
