Guilty Women by Melanie Blake
3.0

I haven’t read the previous book so I did not know what to expect. I found the cover very interesting and the description seal my wish to try it.

I’m all about the drama behind the scenes in a glamorous setting, and this book delivers in spades.

I can’t say I liked or got closed to any of the characters as there are way too many for my liking and maybe it felt harder to keep up with everyone in the end. It really reads as a big tv drama soap opera, maybe the older versions like Dynasty or even Dallas.

And one thing that really stood out for me and was quite impressed, was the smut! Like full open door scenes, where my kindle catches fire. I’m all about it and I was just surprised to find it so blatantly put on the page on a traditional published book, which we rarely see nowadays, more so in a crime story.

It's an interesting story with intriguing characters, one too many for me, but a book that maybe it's worth reading just because it's more outside of the norm.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy
