Blue on Black by Carole Cummings
4.0
I adored this. It's a DSP Publications book, and so it's heavy on plot and not so much on romance, but that plot is absolutely fantastic. The reader, just like Bas, is thrown into a completely isolated little town where everything is wrong and nobody will talk about it. And there's villains and geniuses and characters who aren't good orbad and it's just a f***in' thrill ride. And funny, because Bas as a narrator is hilarious.
And yes, there is a romance subplot (Bas's absolute denial of anything, ever is great), and it's awesome, too. But seriously. World-building. Plot-twistiness. Character-awesomeness.
The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars from me is because I wanted mooooore.... I would've loved, so much, for there to be a bit more at the end when Bas and Kimo get back to civilization. I have no doubt in their eventual happy ending, but my inner fangirl beastie was hungry.
