Welcome to Litsy!

Indigo is journalist Nora Hesper. Nora Hesper is the urban legend and vigilante who punishes those who harm others, particularly when those causing the harm are the members of the cult The Children of Phonos. This time they are kidnapping, torturing, and leaving the mutilated bodies of children in public places. The more Nora learns about the Phonoi the more she begins to question her memories and her very identity. Recommended with caution.

This is a “mosaic” novel by eight different authors. One of them is Charlaine Harris, queen of Southern cliches. The MC, Nora, lives on New York‘s Upper West Side, where she has become friends with one of her neighbors, a young woman from Atlanta named Shelby, who has long red-gold hair. I can‘t decide if this is an homage to Steel Magnolias, or laziness on the part of Harris. Stay tuned.

“My cats are assholes. But they‘re my assholes.” - Nora

It felt as though the plot was progressing without me, and although the sense of confusion was certainly part of the theme it wasn‘t a pleasant experience. It could have made a wonderful mystery novel if it hadn‘t felt so thrown together. Perhaps there were too many cooks in the kitchen, or too many voices in one head, for it to be a satisfying experience.

“Great. More gods of murder and death. Why couldn‘t I be possessed by the god of orgasm? Or ice cream?”

I liked this one, and I need to read up on how this many authors created it! Could totally be a movie. Fun, dark, and what I needed this week.

My current #audiobook, crafted by all these authors!

This looks interesting... lots of good authors. I'm going to have to check it out

This book was intriguing, well-written and surprisingly dark (in a good way-our superheroes rarely get to murder so many people). It subverted the superhero mythology. But I wish it were at least 50 pages shorter; it lagged a lot for me, and there were times I was forcing myself to keep reading. But for fans of superheroes or urban fantasy, "Indigo" is still worth picking up.

What a strange book! I enjoyed this new take on #superheroes. The tale is definitely a dark one but I like the mythology the authors incorporated.

This is a very strange book so far but love the #superheroes references.
