Moth to a Flame by Ashley Antoinette

I read this after reading the Ethic series because I wanted to know more about Ethic and Raven's relationship and get some insight into Morgan's background. While it was good, it wasn't as good as the Ethic series to me. I was looking for some answers about Bella's mom and how he eventually moved back to Detroit but didn't really get that insight.

For he and Raven to be as "in love" as they were I don't feel like we really got a true love story.

Overall, a decent read but not necessary reading if you've started with the Ethic series.

I wanted a better ending BUT this was honestly a book I couldn't put down. The story of these two parallel lives is written beautifully. This is a great historical fiction that really pinpoints the reality of what it was to be a Black Woman in the 1950's. The haves and the have-nots, the societal bias and the oppression of women are all explored and it's definitely worth the read.

I thought Elenor was going to walk away from the Pride family...I'd love a sequel or the story picked back up from the daughter's or Ruby's perspective.
