Skies of Ash by Rachel Howzell Hall
4.0
4.5 stars.
All the things I loved about the first book are still here in this one. The spot on dialogue, the great mystery, the fab writing, LA scenery, and Lou's incredible inner voice.
I take a half star off because I wasn't feeling the ending. Felt a little abrupt and open ended. Although the perp is identified I don't feel that justice was done. Especially since the crime was so damn foul. And the motives were so effed up!
But off to the next one.
I heartily rec this series to anyone who enjoys a good police procedural and most especially anyone like me who is hungry for diversity in fiction (without it being too literary or angsty).
