Yes yes I have been drawn to books thanks to comparisons lol And I love when the main character unearth secrets about her family the town etc! It semms that you’ve had a great time Lashaan!
I actually hate the comparisons most of the time, but this one piqued my curiosity and worked for the better 😂 It’s definitely a great book to pick up, Sophie!
Oooh wow… I like wild good chases. This seems like a different read. Great review the book seems to have enchanted you.
Another side point – we like hand, don’t we? The previous book also had hand as the cover… 😂
Need to check this book. Based on the cover, I would have never read it. Thanks to you, I go to amazon
Hahaha thanks Shalini! I too found it funny that they both had hands on their cover 😂 they are at least pretty covers! But yes, you should totally check it out! 😜
Prohibition Era eh? I’ll definitely be avoiding it then 🙂 After my debacle of the Great Gatsby, I’ve realized I just don’t like the 1910-1930 era.
I have to say, I am surprised you were drawn in by comparison to other authors. Color me cynical, but that is now a real offputting thing for me. If I see it on a book, I think “indie” or something else even less complimentary 😀
Hahah interesting 😂 I love it for all the criminality in particular, especially the good ol’ gangsters of that time!
Well, in all honesty, I usually stay away from books who have those kinds of comparisons, but this time I was super curious since the combo was unusual.
One of my favorite authors is of this era; Dashell Hammett. The U.S. was still a wild place back then, and various metropolitan areas acted with autonomy. Gangsters, boot-legging, and lots of pow-pows flooded cities. Sounds like a fun read. Nice review.
I too love all the gangsters, bootlegging and politics of that time. The lifestyle, clothing, attitude was just so unique 😂 I’ll have to look into that author hahah Thanks for reading, Icky! 😁
Wonderful review sir and I actually really like the sound of this, seems mysterious and atmospheric with some great world-building. May have to check it out!
Thank you, good sir! I appreciate it! It’s a pretty solid mix of historical fiction with fantasy. I mean… I could totally see a Prohibition-era Batman within this world hahahh
I’m with ya… often wary of books that are compared to other authors / stories, etc.
This sounds like a cool story – i’m defo interested. It takes a certain skill to maintain a large host of characters efficiently, so it can easily go both ways 🙂

Huh, I like that era, but for itself. I wonder how a recent book would depict that wild time. Sounds like you enjoyed it 🙂

I wonder too! Then again, it’s not a pure depiction of the era, but I wonder what a book written in that era and set in that era is like too 😮

Omg this sounds SO GOOD. I love the idea of searching for a solution to a ‘small mystery’ leading to some gigantic conspiracy!
