If you're purchasing this audiobook, there isn't much more to say about the brilliance of Cindy and Gary that hasn't already been said. Being the 4th book in the series, I don't need to go over the plot. Just know that this is an absolutely phenomenal continuation of the Exit Unicorns story.

In this prequel to the Exit Unicorns series, we join the Riordan boys in the rough and tumble world of Belfast, Northern Ireland, during a summer of change and promise. Casey Riordan is on the cusp on manhood, and is learning just how high the price of that transition can be. Tagging along on this adventure is his brother, Pat, who is both shadow and conscience to Casey. Their father, Brian, is simply trying to keep his sons safe - a tall order in the gritty streets of this particular city.

There are moments in life where a book just speaks to you. For no reason at all, you will see a book at the store and just know you need to have it. That book is Cindy Brandner’s “Exit Unicorns,” for me. Cindy writes like no author I have ever read. Her words are spoken in cursive, while everyone else is putting plain font on the paper.
Enter “Bare Knuckle.” Bare Knuckle is a novella written as a prequel to the main series. It follows Brian, Casey, and Patrick Riordan before the events of Exit Unicorns. Cindy delivers once again with writing that paints a picture so vividly, so spectacularly that you cannot help but be enamored.
How, one might ask, can anyone expect for anything more. We are spoiled to the core with Gary Furlong’s narration. He is a master at his craft. Listening to him tell the story, it is not hard to imagine yourself right there with the trio in Ireland. You feel what they feel, you see what they see, and you love like they love.
This novella, as well as the rest of the series, transcends genre. It is not a story for just one type of person; it is a story for anybody that absolutely loves getting lost in the words. One minute you are listening to the story, and the next minute it is as if Cindy pulls you out of the story and explains the universe around them. The description is so crisp, so vibrant, so hauntingly beautiful that you can’t help but read a line and put the book down for a moment to take in the full effect of what you just read.
