A review by katiemack
The Seventh Veil of Salome by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
3.5, rounded up. Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes advantage of the intrigue and allure of HUAC-era Hollywood here, and it certainly benefits the pacing of the narrative--I felt like I had to keep reading until the next POV change. (Speaking of, while jarring at times, I appreciated the anecdotes from those looking decades into the past; it provides some helpful context for the story.) The ending falls flat for me but may not for others. The best part of the book, though, is the magic with which Moreno-Garcia imbues Salome and her story.
