Fast-paced, fun, sexy, full-of-surprises page-turner
By Marta Vago
Babydoll is a worthy sequel to the groundbreaking “Aphrodisiac” by Allyson Roy. Written in a unique, “fusion” style the authors aptly call “madcap noir,” Babydoll combines the best of mystery/suspense, humor, romance, and character-driven fiction to deliver an uncommon mix of dreads, laughs and page-turning excitement. No two-dimensional characters, relationship cliches or predictable scenarios here! The action moves effortlessly – and relentlessly – from urban grit, to over-the-top celebrity venues, to enclaves of the privileged, to blue-collar outposts. The personalities – both new and previously introduced in “Aphrodisiac” – are as diverse as any major city is today and as unpredictable as life around us has become. This rich stew of places and people lends an extra – and extraordinary – dimension to what could otherwise have been just another book about people who do things most of us wouldn’t think of doing in places we haven’t been to or would want to go. While the two women protagonists are both professionals in their own right, they are blessedly free of prevalent stereotypes, which makes them human and engaging, although exasperating, at times. We so want them to have it all and they keep doing things they “shouldn’t!” So, who wouldn’t appreciate Babydoll? Only those who would find crossing the boundaries between humor, sex, crime, and suspense sacrilegious and too much to bear. Everyone else: fasten your seat belt and enjoy the wild ride and hairpin turns of the second in the Saylor Oz series. I, for one, can’t wait for the third!
