First Time
**Lesbian Romance**
Bonus Lesbian Romance Story Included!
The County Coroner, Julie Ophelia, and her best friend Kait have a different view of sleepy old Bushwick Massachusetts since they spend their days, and most nights, locked in the morgue. Nothing exciting ever happened until the first body showed up and Julie started putting pieces together, taking a moment to become obsessed with the mysterious masked beauty she never expected. With a town full of secrets you can never trust anyone to be who you think they are and if you're not looking you may end up with a dead body on your doorstep.
Take a ride with the first of the three part series where bodies are turning up left and right; the Sheriff doesn’t want to talk, and the assistant, Lydia has her own skeletons in the closet. Romance, murder, and mystery set the tone but be careful who you trust, or you just may end up the next victim.
Author's This HEA story has EXPLICIT SCENES. Mature audiences only. It is highly recommended you be over 18 years of age to read this material.

There were so many plot holes and discrepancies with this novel that I found myself growing angry while reading. It doesn't seem very well thought out at all and the way that the main character comes to finding her 'love' is just completely unbelievable. It reads like a boy's love manga where the dominant character bullies the submissive character into loving them eternally and unconditionally. The love connection between the main character and her new belle is comparative to a case of Stockholm's, which is all fine and dandy because this kind of psychological disconnect can most certainly happen in real life, but please do not mistake it as being 'goals' or something healthy to be romanticised. Someone who has bullied and tortured you nearly your whole life, that has caused you extreme emotional and mental distress and has been nothing but cruel to you probably isn't the best romantic partner.
You don't simply fall in love with someone overnight, either. This is much what seems to have happened with the main character and her love. And the idea that the main character didn't recognise the voice of her childhood abuser simply because she was wearing a mask? Highly unlikely. Both women have lived in this town their entire lives. They work closely with one another. They see one another quite frequently in their daily lives from what I understand of reading. Yet when the main character goes to a work event masquerade ball, she spends hours upon hours with Lydia (I believe the woman is named) yet she never recognises her? Even if you can't see a person's face you can most definitely recognise their voice if you spend a great deal of time around them--which the main character most certainly did. The entire love affair is plot holes central.
The book itself also has some major issues because the writing could be far better. There were quite a few misspellings and grammatical errors. The writing itself was choppy and not well-formulated. The climactic points were not well-developed. My greatest issue also stands in the way the novel itself ended. The writer attempted to pass off the last chapter as a 'cliffhanger' but really, it is merely an unfinished book. In order to get to a climactic cliffhanger, there has to be a cliff for the plot to dangle upon. That does not exist here.
The plot has great potential and so does the writing but the novel should have been better formulated and more thoroughly edited. Perhaps in the second and third book, the issues I have taken notice of will be addressed.
