A review by lisaeirene
The Shimmering Road by Hester Young

3.0

I have mixed feelings. I liked the first book. The second book had a very different vibe. It wasn't the alluring, romantic darkness of the first one that took place in Louisiana. This one takes place in Arizona, which is fine, just lends a different vibe. The first book had some decent romance in it. The second book was lacking that a lot--in fact, it felt like Noah and Charlie were not doing well as a couple at all. It was kind of a bummer. Also, there was a very subtle thread of some homophobia and racism/elitism. It was really subtle, maybe I was reading too much into it, but yeah...it bugged me.
