A review by morybaby
Black Widow Society by Angela Makholwa

mysterious fast-paced

1.25

There was a lot of stereotyping going on in this book. The author using the nationalities of the characters before anything else was very weird. The number of times I had to read “Nigerian drug lord”??! What was the reason… 
“Malawian butler”… it literally added nothing to the plot. It was giving very much xenophobia. 


Also Mzwakhe saying his mom is racist??? Like are you okay? I mean his mom was very cruel to Marie. The whole thing was messy. 

The way Alex spoke about Nkosazana’s sexuality…
The BEE jabs… so many things were just very upsetting 

Now the plot, I was very intrigued by the plot hence I decided to read it but how are you a killing society and you use the same hitman??? We were going somewhere with this plot and then sharp left.

I finished it out of spite. 

I liked that the chapters were short and the font of the book was nice 

I don’t think I was the intended audience for this book and that’s okay. Love and light to all involved
