Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "My Lips, Her Voice" by L.L. Madrid. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Goodreads synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers to please keep that in mind!)
"Copper City's bloody history is steeped in ghost stories and whispers of serial killers, but three girls have caught the attention of something far more sinister.
A grandmother tormented by visions tried to warn the town, but no one listened. Now, a haunted inheritance has passed to her granddaughters, Audrey and Mara. When Mara's body is discovered in the old mine, Audrey fears her grandmother's premonition is manifesting.
The nightmare begins as Mara's spirit returns - lurking under Audrey's skin, hellbent on vengeance and desperate to rekindle things with her former girlfriend, Zadie. Willing to hijack Audrey's body to get what she wants, Mara drags them both into a deadly pursuit.
When another girl in town goes missing, Audrey, Mara, and Zadie know the killer has struck again. In a fight to solve Mara's death and uncover the mystery of disappearances in Copper City, the girls soon find themselves at war with each other. How do you survive long enough to hunt a murderer on the loose if the person inside you might kill you first?"
I received this book as an ARC on Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read this is because I genuinely love a good queer thriller. Friends, this book did not disappoint. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat through most of reading this story and got sucked into it straight away. This story was fast paced, tense and just left me wanting more. It was so nice to see these teenage girls being strong and powerful through everything they were going through, and to see the strong feminist message come through with not only how they acted, but how they thought and felt. I'm not going to lie, the multiple POV did confuse me at the time of reading, however I am really glad they were included, especially Audrey's grandma's from the past as it gave us a much bigger view of the full story, than it would have if we'd only had Audrey's and Zadie's. There was parts of this story that were genuinely difficult to read so if you do want to read this one please check the trigger warnings first. I really enjoyed reading this one, and as much as there were some things I didn't necessarily always understand, it was actually quite a good read, just not one of my favourites. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good queer thriller, and as much as I don't think I'll be getting a physical copy of this one I will definitely be reading whatever L.L does write next.
I gave this book a 4/5 star rating on Goodreads.
This book is already out!
