The Thrashers
by Julie Soto
Well paced slow thriller with a satisfying ending. Well done Ms Soto. I was slow to get into this but after 50 pages once I’d settled in with the FMC I wanted to learn more. I think it was a sense of trusting her narration. One big miss was addressing her as at least half Latina from her Mom’s side. It was never discussed as a piece of complexity although she had body insecurities and identity issues I relate to as a mixed Latina, and I am starving for that representation in Romance novels. Lucy is also identified as having dark skin. I want authors to bring these character traits out and discuss how that affects their identity and how they are perceived externally. Next time?
