Editoral Review
Coyote’s Kiss by Christa Faust is a thrilling crime fiction novel that will keep readers at the edge of their seats from start to finish. Faust is an American author, journalist, and screenwriter known for her contributions to the hardboiled crime genre.
This book was published on January 1, 2011, and has since been recognized by critics as one of her greatest works. The novel is set in Los Angeles and follows the story of Angel Dare, a former porn star-turned-private investigator.
Angel is hired by a rich woman to find her missing daughter, but the case quickly turns dangerous as it becomes apparent that a dangerous cult is involved. Angel must navigate the treacherous underworld of LA and confront her own past demons as she races to solve the case.
Faust’s writing style is gritty and intense, perfectly capturing the seedy underbelly of LA’s criminal world. The novel is full of dark humor, violence, and sex, reflecting the reality of the world Angel inhabits.
The characters are vividly portrayed, each with their own motives and desires. Angel is a complex protagonist who grapples with the consequences of her past and tries to make amends in the present.
Beyond its entertainment value, Coyote’s Kiss also sheds light on the issue of cults and their influence on vulnerable individuals. Faust delves into the psychology of cult members and the manipulation tactics used to recruit and control them.
Additionally, the book highlights the dangers of the porn industry and its impact on the lives of performers. In terms of weaknesses, the pacing of the novel can be slow at times, and some readers may find the explicit content uncomfortable.
However, these flaws do not detract from the quality of writing and the gripping nature of the plot. Overall, Coyote’s Kiss is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and those interested in exploring the darker side of human nature.
Faust’s writing is superb, and the characters are both complex and relatable. The book tackles tough issues without shying away from the harsh realities of the world.
I highly recommend this novel and give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
