Book Review: And What Can We Offer You Tonight
Book: And What Can We Offer You Tonight
Author: Premee Mohamed
Thank you NetGalley and ECW Press Audio for an advanced audio copy.
For me, And What Can We Offer You Tonight was a confusing mess with a decent idea that never hit its potential. The story follows Jewel who is a courtesan in a luxurious house. Jewel’s friend Winfield is killed by a client but then during her funeral Winfield wakes up and wants revenge. This is a cool idea but then everything just felt jumbled and confusing.
I’m not a writer so I hate calling someone’s hard work confusing but I was confused for most of this short story. I never had a full grasp of what was really going on and I did not get any resolution I was hoping to get.
I love novellas and how authors can fit so much character development and world-building in such a short story but I also found that lacking in this book too.
For me, this is sadly a very difficult book for me to recommend, even with how short it is.
Final score: 2/5
