I‘m always a little heartbroken when an Akashic Noir anthology doesn‘t work for me. Akashic‘s first noir collection of 2023 is a disappointment. I only enjoyed 3 stories. I loved the characters in Stunts by Ace Atkins. Amanda Moore‘s Reflections was delightfully twisty, and Amy Gentry built a complex tale with a great ending. The rest is filled with mediocre writing, boring plots, and terrible endings. Overall, this is a big miss for me.
TheKidUpstairs I keep meaning to pick up one of these anthologies. Which has been your favourite? 12mo
DGRachel @TheKidUpstairs My top five are South Central, Denver, Sydney, Singapore, and Montana. South Central is my #1. 12mo
