A review by rjdenney
Fade to Black by Alex Flinn
3.0
When I hauled this book I said it was about a gay HIV+ guy who gets his window bashed in by a
dickhead with a bat. I was wrong lol The guy is straight and HIV+, now this didn't hurt the book for me, it was interesting to read and The characters were realistic and deep. But the mystery part of this story was a letdown. The main story line of this book is finding out who performed the hate crime but when the culprit is caught, it's just like it's no big deal... that was the main part of the story and it was like a shitty sugar-free glaze on a yummy looking doughnut that was unappetizing and just blah. I love Alex Flinn's writing though, she knows how to hook people and make her characters come to life.
