review 1: It took me a bit to get into this book, I finished it quickly but felt disconnected. I didn't feel for the justice in the plot, I felt indifferent to it and felt as though the victim in this story was merely a name. That is what disappointed me. I like to feel satisfied at the end not just like blah. I don't recommend it however I am not discouraging anyone from reading it. It could be better than I felt during my reading of it.
review 2: Mamacita Murders is a book trying to find its genre. Parts read like a police procedural (my favorite parts, actually), others like an urban fantasy (the whole angels thing. And maybe ghosts?), still others like a cheap romance. I kept expecting all the parts to come together into a coherent whole, but it didn't happen. I had ... morea hard time getting interested in the characters. Gaby Ruiz, the narrator, alternates between overbearingly manipulative and emotional wreck. The mix is extremely annoying. Her treatment of her co-workers annoyed me the most--it truly does pay to be nice to people you depend on for information. Also, I had problems at times following the plot amongst all the sidelines. I'm sure Debra Mares has a lot to say, but it didn't come across in this book. I received a complimentary copy of the book in order to review it. less
