Book Review: "These Women" By Ivy Pochoda

This is one of those books that deals with the dark side of drugs, prostitution, and the underbelly of LA that is riveting and revolting all at once.

These women dealt with a number of different women-their lives, struggles, and their families left behind which include a mother of a murder victim, a police officer, a dancer, an artist and a wife.

The characters felt disconnected until the tail end when they come together because of several brutal murders.

The violence, the danger, the desperation, the ignorance of the people around them all led to one commonality and it was deadly.

It was also a different format in which you felt like you were present and being witness to the action live but also the descriptions felt contrived at times and stereotypical which was offsetting.

All in all not a bad piece so crack it open and get reading!
