Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
5.0

*takes a long drag from my cigarette* Silvia Moreno-Garcia? I haven’t heard that name in years... Psyche! Of course I have-I love this woman everything she’s written-and Untamed Shore is no different! Who’d have thought that noir was just what the doctor ordered? Once again Moreno-Garcia proves herself as a veritable factotum of genres.

This book weaves coming of age with noir crime thriller in a way that is absolutely delicious. And spends great time exploring the protagonist’s interior, making you want to cheer for even her most questionable of actions.

If you’re looking for the fantasy elements of some of her other books, you won’t find them here, but rest assured, this book is yet another testament to Moreno-Garcia’s skillful pacing and imagery.
