Gunshot Glitter, the debut novel from Yasmin Selena Butt is, nominally at least, a work of crime fiction. This is what the tags tell us but is as much a tale of love as murder. This blurring of romance and thriller may well alienate readers whose tastes are stuck in strict genre fiction as Butt strays from the tried and tested paths of these two types too often.

This was another of those books that happened across my path which initially made my heart sink; my first thought was ‘I just don’t read murder mysteries‘; that was before I started reading and got myself hooked by the characters and the intricately woven story. I ended up reading until 1.00am in the morning because I just had to know what happened next. It’s not so much a murder mystery book, it’s more a ‘look at what can happen to the human psyche when it is challenged out of it’s normal expec...more
BOOK REVIEW – Gunshot Glitter – Yasmin Selena Butt
Cornelia Friend gives all new meaning to the term ‘Killer Hills,’ in this new and deeply compelling ‘hit girl’ crime novel.
Overview:
Celine Silver is a shadow, her once true-self hiding behind the façade of many. Charlotte Sinden and Cornelia Friend are just two of the fake identities she goes by, but the two that play a pivotal part in this full length novel.
When she receives a phone call from Sera Logan, an old friend and ex-lover asking for her...more

Gunshot Glitter is not like any book I have read before. It's original, compassionate, dark, and utterly compelling, with elements of sweetness tucked away where you least expect them.
Part tale of redemption and rebirth, part detective mystery, part love story, Gunshot Glitter is a cross-genre book that defies an easy label.
Gunshot Glitter has absorbed my free time like a sponge (even stealing some of my own writing time!) but I don't regret a minute of it. It was so worth taking a chance on i...more

Wow, just wow. i have to admit that i only go this book on the recommendation of a friend (who happens to be related to the author). I really was not expecting such a good read, i was enthralled all the way through. the characters were almost living breathing people i found that i cared about what happens to them, as opposed to just thinking they are just characters. The plot was an absolute roller coaster with every emotion out there and clamoring for your attention. They only down point i can...more
I've not written many book reviews, and I'm not really cut out to effuse about books. Suffice to say I couldn't put this book down. Well written and compelling til the end.
