Kennedy sold me the moment they mentioned Alton is an classic, imperfect vigilante and that everyone (and everything) isn't want it seems.
It makes you wonder what is really going on behind the seens. The only thing that might put me off is the fact that Reid is a rapist.

- Latest Review: The Pale Flesh of Wood by Elizabeth A. Tucker
The book was of moderate length, and it utilizes simple diction with seasoned vocabulary. It also features unique characters, well-rounded with perfectly balanced emotions. Alton, for example, was portrayed as a classic vigilante, neither perfect nor cliché. He was good at his job and cared for others but still made mistakes like any other person. This made the book relatable. The book adopts a dark theme of betrayal and mistrust, though there are still underlying happy moments, like some scenes with Blair and Cameron.
You are completely right. Black-and-white character development, and villains that are completely evil or heroes that embody absolute perfection can easily make me dismiss a book. So I applaud the multidimensional development of Alton. And what better backdrop for a mystery than Tinseltown?
Great review!
