This novella was impressive for its layered characters in such a short time; It is my first Tasha L. Harrison, and won’t be my last because I already see someone whose characters are complex and neither good nor bad, simply imperfect and dealing with the circumstances they’ve been dealt. I can also tell her styling is fairly dark, so I’ll keep that in mind going into her other work.
The story is cleverly told, with flashbacks from Langston’s POV, alongside his interrogation. The style is direct, but it didn’t skimp on details, settings, mood or characters. And yes, I said interrogation. This is noir. It has a romance element, but there’s no HEA/HFN, there’s no real conclusion.
There were some editing issues. Out of place ‘.’ a time I noticed “she her” as if the sentence structure changed but the subject didn’t follow. Lack of ‘-‘ in self-confidence. I’m definitely not very picky about this, so if that drives you crazy, you’ll definitely notice on this one. I’m not sure that makes this worth skipping, if this type of novel from a promising author appeals to you.
So many questions:
What if someone you loved turned you into a weapon? What if your love was doomed prior to the first kiss? What if you knew that?
