![]() ![]() Cary is still torn between Tatiana and his boyfriend. The police haven’t named Gideon a suspect, but the both of them are still nervous and decide to keep their relationship a secret from the public until the police decide to shelve the case. The book starts right where book two leaves off, as Eva and Gideon must come to terms with the fact that Gideon killed Eva’s abuser. ![]() But I need more than that to keep me going and this book lacks a solid story. It has the hot, hot (did I mention hot?) sex in it, and the crazy jealous, possessive, I’ll die without you attitudes that makes it so cracky. I was still quite frustrated with this book though. ![]() I knew this going in, so the lack of complete closure at the end of this book wasn’t a shock (although the end is VERY abrupt and felt odd). There has been much drama due to the fact this once trilogy is now drawn out to be five books. It’s so over the top crazy, yet I can’t look away. This series is my guilty pleasure crack series.

![]() ![]() “We’re all on the verge of somebody else’s violence,” muses Sarah, a Black woman serving a prison sentence 100 years in the future, in Chapter Zero. Though detached from memories and familial identity, Deón’s protagonist inherently understands the Black experience and the violence she anticipates her body, and others’, will encounter in the story, one of the main themes of the novel. Released into foster care to a loving Black family in South Central Los Angeles, she is given the name Louise-Lou for short. Desperate to regain her memory and find a shred of familiarity, she is instead quickly arrested. Natashia Deón’s second novel, The Perishing, is both a work of compelling fiction and social commentary on the past, present, and future cycle of racial violence we find ourselves in, as a nation that birthed itself through slavery and built itself on capitalism through enslavement.ĭeón begins the novel, set in 1930’s Los Angeles, with her protagonist, a young Black woman, awakening in an alley-naked, disoriented, and immediately engaged in a fight for her survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() I teach novel writing for UCLA Extension Writers' Program, and Stanford online, do private fiction editing, and I am a professional namer!

![]() ![]() The writer didn't quite nail the women's friendships that were detailed within the story but its not distracting and I'd like to see how the concept of the club unfolds throughout the rest of the series. ![]() I would avoid purchasing another with her narrating. The pausing was inappropriate and she seemed to punctuate with loud breaths and mouth sounds. Parts were really over dramatised and the pretend sobbing just made me cringe.
