A Restless Truth

4/5. Sequel to last year’s delightful A Marvelous Light, this one about a murder investigation on a ship making the New York to London crossing, also a steamy F/F romance and pornography and a jewel thief and a parrot.

I think the word that best describes the quality of this book is bawdy. It’s frank and funny and blunt and creative and, very specifically, queer about sex, which is super refreshing in a historical. Also, the dynamic of the experienced jaded woman hooking up with the intense virgin and getting way more than she bargained for is A+.

Also A+ is the set up for book three, which will feature a different romance that I would like injected directly into my veins right now because it is going to be 100% my jam. And yeah, hopefully that book has a plot that's a bit less "hey let's have a plan that involves a seance for no other reason than the vibes, yoe," but honestly, whatever, I enjoyed the vibes.
