mr_sosotris 's review for:
Untamed Shore
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
A fun suspenseful read!
A small town in Baja California, a disenchanted young woman, a trio of strange American visitors, and a bunch of twists and turns.
My all-time favourite part of this novel is how visually engrossing it is. I can picture the characters and setting so perfectly, it’s like I just watched a movie. I can see the town and hear the 1970’s soundtrack perfectly.
Viridiana is a wonderful heroine. Young, flawed, clever, and adaptable, her arc is incredibly satisfying, especially once she begins to realize her own strength.
Some of the developments felt a bit too convenient, BUT did nothing to diminish my enjoyment of the story.
Would definitely recommend if you want a twisty crime story interlaced with a coming-of-age tale.
[note: This in no way affected my star rating, but I read the novel on my Kobo e-reader, and the first section had a number of formatting issues, mostly missing words and font changes. They’re minor, and didn’t bother me too much, but Kobo should definitely see about fixing them if they can.]
