Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.5 stars rounded up. I thought this book was good, but it didn’t have me captivated the whole time. The first third was engaging and towards the middle to the end, it lost me. I wanted more, but it just didn’t deliver the way that I hoped. The only reason why it’s getting a bit of a higher rating was because I liked the afterword and the idea of the story.
