Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0

I predicted exactly how this book would end, and I'm not even mad – Silvia Moreno-Garcia leans all the way in to her shark motif/metaphor and I'm here for it. The only time predictability in a book is acceptable is when the author deftly deploys foreshadowing and metaphors to signal the reader. Moreno-Garcia definitely accomplishes that here.

Even though this book contains many of the foundational tropes of a noir, it's still unlike any other story I've ever read. It's comfortable but fresh, tropey but unique.
