Falling Colours: The Misadventures of a Vision Painter by R.J. Samuel

5.0

Falling Colours (The Vision Painter #1) by R.J. Samuel was quite an interesting and entertaining read. This is not your run-of-the-mill lesfic romance (in fact, romance takes a bit of a backseat in favor of action/suspence but it was all good).

The author has kept the blurb intentionally vague and with a story like this one I think you need to be kept in the dark as much as possible and enjoy the revelations in the same pace as main character Kiran does. It is much more fun that way and so no spoilers.

I liked Kieran. She was a bit of an anti hero with her quirky, bumbling, tongue tied self (sweater vests and all). Ashley could have been better defined but I hope we get to know her better in part two. Star of the book for me was Marge, Ashley’s ill-fated mother. She is basically a horrible person but it’s so much fun to be in her head and you will find out why. I loved her dark humor.

For a beautiful in-depth review read Jem’s.

Well written, original plot, great characters and I’m excited to dive into part deux Casting Shadows.

f/f no explicit scenes

Themes: be careful what you wish for.
