Queen B’s Decree: I immediately got sucked into Steven’s story. He’s basically a small-time criminal, but mostly as a product of his environment. His boss wants him to find the boss’ missing girlfriend…and from there a whole, massive story unfolds.
The plot line was pretty interesting, and I enjoyed seeing everything through Steven’s point-of-view. There were quite a few side characters, but eventually I was able to keep them all straight.
Basically, The Dead Hand of Dominique gave me Snatch vibes. Like some of the characters were almost caricatures of themselves…but in an entertaining way.
Overall, t’was an enjoyable and entertaining read!
