This is the sort of book that just can’t lose in today’s market. A mostly young, tragically hip (literally), almost all-minority cast with gender politics heavily threaded through. The only thing its missing is a heavy queer angle on top of it.
So, yeah, how much social commentary do you like in your genre fiction? If your answer is “oodles”, you’ve picked the right book. Though to be fair, Tiny Threads does a very credible job of passing for a scary story for a significant portion of its page count. Anyway, in the The Devil Wears Antonio Mora aka Tiny Threads, a young woman makes the trek all the way from Jersey to sunny Cali to work for a famous designer. It is supposed to be her dream job, her dream life, etc…until it all turns into a nightmare. The question is this, is she hallucinating terrors because of all the drinking she’s doing because of work stress or is she in real danger? Read and find out. It’s a quick and entertaining read, compelling enough even if you don’t particularly care for the characters. The real star of the show here is, of course, that gorgeous cover, but the fun itself is fun enough. Thanks Netgalley.
