Reviews with content warning for Suicide - Moon Over Soho

This one got some genuine chuckles out of me. I'm really enjoying the world building that comes with a longer series of novels. It's nice to have the book's plot plus a few subplots set up to go through to the next novel. The narrator is wonderful at adding a lot of flair to the performance as well.

I LOVED the first book in this series, and the third (I read it first because the library had it), but I was really let down by this one. I still love Peter and Nightingale, but this one's plot was just meh for most of the book.
And the kinda random sexual scenes added nothing really except for a sorta plot twist at the end. (Which I saw coming way before the end.) They kinda threw me off because I didn't expect there to be any explicit content.

If you don't like this book, I highly recommend that you move on to the third and give it a try. I found that one went back to the magic of the first.

I really didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first novel in the series. The writing was pretty predictable and at times seemed lazy. Especially the ending, where I feel like the author was going for some sort of dark, sacrificial twist designed to shock the audience, but in reality was a big snore. Maybe I just didn’t feel anything because I felt zero connection to the new characters introduced in this novel, particularly the women. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, THIS AUTHOR IS TERRIBLE AT WRITING WOMEN! At least Beverly and Leslie had a little spunk! Simone was so bland and stereotypical. Also the protagonist Peter showed no character growth at all.

Overall the plot sounds ridiculous but it was the one element of the book I actually quite enjoyed. For me it was the character development that really let this book down. Good writing should make me either hate them or love them. But everything about this novel was just vanilla.
