Velvet Was the Night

Velvet Was The Night is my first book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I’m interested to read her previous books, she definitely has a talent for crafting a well written story (Mexican Gothic I’m coming for you next). I did like the story and the way the the characters lives became intertwined. I don’t think I’ve read much noir fiction and while I enjoyed this, it’s not really a genre I would typically go for.
As mentioned, the writing was great and all but honestly my rating would’ve been higher if I cared for either of the characters. They're just not that likable and lack any redeeming qualities. They’re not even the fun unlikable type, if that makes sense.
Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. This is my second book on my quest to cram old arcs before 2021 ends MAKING PROGRESS HERE!!

Great review, Sheena! Of the three SMG's I've read, this is my least favorite, and I also had trouble connecting with the characters. Hope you enjoy Mexican Gothic more! :)
