House of Agnes by Fiona Zedde
4.25
The House of Agnes is a very successful escort business, run by the mysterious Agnes. But her business is under threat from multiple directions, at the same time as the unknown Lola has appeared looking for Agnes's attention.
I loved Agnes as a character. The way that her background and experiences had shaped her, and how she chose to use her influence within her line of work. Lola took a little longer to grow on me, particularly as we're introduced to her as someone who's trying to trick her way into Agnes's life. But I definitely felt for the situations that she was pushed into. And also appreciated that she very definitely didn't have her life completely together.
This was a super steamy read, which felt very much right with the topics of the book. The chemistry between Agnes and Lola was fantastic, and I loved how it developed in stages.
The suspense side of the plot was interesting. There were a few characters that, to me, seemed to obviously be up to something, but I liked that I was never quite sure what it was.
Also I very much commend this book for being positive about escorts and other SWers - making it clear that people in the industry choosing to take advantage of them is problematic, not the workers themselves.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the free digital copy. All thoughts are my own.
