A great disappointment

Queen of Humboldt by Tagan Shepard

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


As a writer myself I do not like to write bad reviews, but this one really needed to be written.

My disapponiment with this book stems mainly from the deceptive blurb! I expected a lesbian romanc within a crime story. What I got was a good start that quickly degenerated into a sadistic orgy of pointless violence, that didn't really work as a plot device.

When the s++t hit the fan I had a lot of ideas how this could continue with a lot of suspense and sizzeling hot sex (like the start) what I got instead I described already above. At the half way point I knew, that there as more of it to come and just could not go on reading another line. May there are hard core masochists who might enjoy the gratuitous violence, but not me. Judging from the idea this could have been good, but .... I got thoroughly disappointed!
