American Heroin - Melissa Scriver Love

 

Yet another random pick from the Founder's Club Book Club, once again, the title just jumped out a bit and I grabbed it without knowing anything about the story.

Turns out to be a tale of a Latina drug lord in LA who also happens to be a single mother so she has to deal with life's everyday trials while also juggling her cartel, her white, DA woman partner and an brewing gang war. Luckily, she's smart, strong and compassionate (when need be) and while there are many hurdles to jump, she manages to keep things under control, while uncovering secrets in the lives of her extended family and work lives.

Considering the subject matter, the book is actually fairly lightweight and there were a couple of bits here'n'there that bugged me for one reason or another, but it's not a bad read. Nothing overly special or deep, but alright for what it is.
