And The Kill Club delivers. In the best and worst ways. With a lesbian MC and a bi/pan romance interest!!
I repeat: With a lesbian MC and a bi/pan romance interest!!
About The Kill Club:
IMHO: The Kill Club
This is a fucking stellar suspense mystery. I started it and couldn't stop until the last page. Had no clue what was coming next. Didn't guess any perps before revealed. Nicely done misdirects and pacing. No too dumb to live moments. In fact, Jazz was scrappy AF and Sofia was brilliant.
Jazz, I loves you. And all you're tattoos and snarky glory.
Joaquin, I loves you too, little buddy.
Sofia, my put-together-at-6AM bi/pan queen.
I love the alternative POVs. Think Crash, but not shitty perpetuating bullshit. That's where I picked my first favorite quote from in fact. A despicable one, but damn is it well done.
And it doesn't stick to just traditional abusers and victims either. I'm so glad there's some male victim representation included.
This probably makes me a terrible person, but I love the "fuck it, shotgun time" moment. XD
Yep, my rule about Author's Notes/Acknowledgements at the end still holds true. I love how Heard brings the facts and a spotlight on important issues, like homelessness.
It'd be a romantic suspense except for the no happy ending nonsense. Gays should only be buried in love and solidarity nowadays. >:( So close to perfection.
I'm so down for more like The Kill Club and from Wendy Heard. I just added her YA debut to my TBR in fact.
Favorite Quotes:
He needs to take control, like Edward did in Port Angeles when Bella almost got herself raped by that gang of guys. Yes, that's the part of the story they're in, the part where Edward takes control.
Thank you for mansplaining the presumption of innocence to me, twat.
It delivers its signature "chunk-chunk-hummmmm" that signals the arctic cooling of the area immediately around the window.
"First rule of murder club. Don't talk about murder club. Got it."
That would be a relief, the kind that only lasts a minute. That's the kind of pain I can handle.
