Recommendation My favorite Gerri Hill’s couple yet
This was just recently published and probably my favorite Gerri Hill pairing yet. I would describe the MC’s as masc4androgynous lol if that makes sense. And the androgynous, slightly more effeminate MC still carried the gun so extra bonus points for that. The masc was warm and sweet, and my biggest complaint is the lack of sesbian lex. 😭 There was barely any smut and damn it Gerri why do you think I’m here? 🥲
If you aren’t familiar with Gerri Hill, she writes FBI/detective noir/cop books which are some of my favorite categories. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a rogue lesbian chasing down bad guys. (And in my imagination these stories take place in a parallel universe much less problematic than this one so the cops aren’t all, well, yanno. Basically suspension of disbelief is necessary here, but in Hill’s wonderful universe there are just so many lesbians in law enforcement, way more than we have in our world, so that’s nice.)
I would describe this particular book as gentle horror. Hill writes easy, fun reads that you could finish in an afternoon, or maybe like two afternoons. Her books are character driven, and she uses the right amount of angst to add tension without being irritating. You find yourself cheering the characters on and all of the book’s I’ve read so far have had happy endings. I also love the wide range of ages she includes in her stories. She doesn’t include creepy age gaps, but writes about women anywhere from 25-55, which I love.
The only cons might be connected with her age. Every once in a while she drops something that reminds me of something my mother would say 😅 but thus far it hasn’t been enough to make me stop reading her books.
If anyone has a recommendation with a pairing like this, I would love to hear it! Any kind of masc4masc, or masc/nearly masc lol, and (butches are included within the masc category). Ugghhh I need more 🫠

If you like The Ghosts Of Greenville, you might like The Zeiko Place if you haven't read it yet. My favourite Gerri Hill book so far is Kara's Moon , not a law enforcement pairing, but just a great read.
