Velvet Was the Night

I first read this author when I cracked open Gods of Jade and Shadow and I loved it. So when I saw this come up for an ARC review I jumped at the chance to snag it...

This is a historical noir and the first I've read in this genre. I love the writing, the atmosphere and the storyline. That being said this is definitely one you NEED to be in the mood to read because it is a slow read. Not a slow burn..a slow read.

From what I understand that's the niche of a noir. It's mostly about atmosphere and mystery which this one does well with.

If you're looking to dive into this genre and love historical fiction, I would say go grab this one and give it a go.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
