Comeuppance Served Cold by Marion Deeds
5.0
This book has allll the vibes.
I honestly love everything about it! A nonlinear storyline, multiple pov, magic, shapeshifters, prohibition, mystery and intrigue set in Seattle 1929 noir style. The absolute confidence that though women had a place in a visible social setting, what went on behind the scenes proved they were, at times, pulling the strings.
Dolly White, a smart women who needs a job and takes care of herself. Violet, taking chances and running a speakeasy while trying to protect her shapeshifter brother and avoid trouble from white men. Can they work together to stay off the radar of all those around them?
The way this ended has me VERY hopeful there will be more to come!
Warnings: Patriarchal, racist, and ableist violence, both verbal and physical.
Also attempted sexual assault.
Thank you SO much to Tor Books, NetGalley and Marion Deeds for the gifted copy!
