Melanin Madness is a dystopian thriller with a unique perspective I have never seen before. Author has quite an imagination and I appreciate that. So plot line is great. This book is labeled adult, but can also be YA because all three characters are young, except all the gore. But I know some older YA individuals that liek that sort of thing. They are characterized well and you empathize with their stories.

Book gives lots of historical facts, past and also future dystopian present. Almost too many, that the plot at times, seems secondary. Lots of shifting back and forth between plot and history, which I did not like also. TIme line all over the place and confusing. It has a few pictures which supports the story as well.

My two big issues with this book is it is left on a cliffhanger, which is not stated up front. One of my biggest hang ups with books. Also it is not proofread well-the worst I have ever seen on this site. Issues with grammar, typos, sentence structure and mixed POVs in the same paragraph. It definitely slowed down my reading and doesn't present a good product. I wonder if this is a draft copy that got sent my mistake. I think this book needs to be removed and reedited.

So I am torn about how to review this book. It is a good story, just execution and end product I do not like. Whenever the sequel comes out, I'm torn about continuing it. But very glad to have read this book.
