Yay for a change from vampire dramas!
In Vixen we are transported to Prohibition era Chicago: jazz, speakeasies, mobsters, debutantes, and plenty of drama. Fast read, guilty pleasure, cliche characters... yet, because the gossipy storyline and fun slang, it was pretty enjoyable. Plot builds up dramatically and the ending leaves the reader hanging. Made for a WB series. I can easily see flappers becoming the new vampires of teen lit.
This one is for older teens, not only because of subject matter, but because it will take some experience and worldliness to pick up on the Roaring Twenties slang.
