This is my second read by Liselle Sambury, and she can do no wrong in my eyes at this point! Tender Beasts is an amazing story filled with murder mysteries and suspense. Liselle does such an amazing job tying in issues of racism, classism, family trauma and generational curses. I definitely recommend!

For the length of the book, there were a few small holes in the story that I feel should have been filled, hence the deduction in stars. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that this is an amazing book! 

*Not to compare the two, but I do prefer Delicious Monsters over Tender Beasts. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it as well.*
