Solid vibes, summons great visuals, the setting (time and place) was very compelling. The characters were excellent and memorable. All together enjoyable.

I found this book rather boring. The storyline was not thrilling at all, but her writing style is what kept me going.

Velvet was the Night is an enthralling historical noir with complex, well rounded characters and settings so descriptive and vibrant that it was easy to get lost in. Despite being drawn to the action and the overall mystery behind the disappearance of Leonara, I stuck around for Maite and Elvis. Maite's character arc, discovery of who she is and what she stands for and believes, and was easily my favorite of the two.
The pacing was on the slower side and I found Elvis' chapters to not hold my attention as well, but I believe all that led to the darker, somber mood of the noir.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

It just wasn't interesting enough for me to keep going. I did not like the behavior and attitude of Elvis towards women, it was gross.
