When Madam Karina discovers Domino in an alleyway, she offers her a position inside her home for entertainers in secluded West Texas.

But then, Madam Karina doesn’t know about the person living inside Domino’s mind. Madam Karina doesn’t know about Wilson.

My Thoughts:
The Cover: What a twisted cover! A riot of violets, the only color on the cover, grow from a grenade. Holy contrast, soft and pretty covering hard and violet. Really does speak for our protagonist, Domino.
The Plot: Violet Grenade has a very unique storyline, I believe. It walks the line in some very sensitive subjects. This could happen anywhere, which brings the reader in even more. The author invokes the whole gambit of emotions in the reader, from sadness and anger to love and joy. I felt like our story was almost timeless, just a girl trying to live her life, who just keeps getting the raw deal.
The Characters: All of our characters were well written and relatable. Even our villains pull some level of sympathy from you. Of course, Domino and Cain were my favorite. I found it kind of hard to get a read on Domino for the first chapter or so. But I think that's the persona that she had adopted, the tough, untouchable exterior, that hides the vulnerable girl inside. I love that all of the main characters had whole personalities, with flaws and broken backgrounds.
Is it Worth Reading? : Definitely!! It was an amazing story, with joyful parts and parts that make your cringe or cry, sometimes both at the same time. I highly recommend Violet Grenade and give it 5 out of 5 grenades!
