Finley Smith, the news director, expects her reporters and anchors to work with integrity. But when Sylvia Reynolds shows up as the new general manager, it's clear that WABN's owners want to take the network in a different direction. Profits over truth. When Finley fights back, she learns just how deep the corruption goes.
This was a fast read for me because I really did want to keep reading after each chapter ended just to find out what was going to happen. The only problem was that the book needed editing. The timelines of days was sometimes incorrectly referenced, there were punctuation errors, and at one point, a character was given the wrong name!
I had also hoped that the story would deal more with the investigation of a corruption scandal involving a construction company and a governor, but that actually played a small role in the story. Instead, the book focused more on the power struggle between Finley and Sylvia, Finley trying to keep her personal life together amidst family issues, and the personal life of Finley's friend Meadow, who also works at WABN.
If you're expecting a thriller or a story that will keep you guessing, then you might be disappointed. But if you lean to the liberal side like Charters, then you might enjoy reading about a woman standing up to the man.
Yellow is published by Rogue Phoenix Press and is on bookstore shelves now. I received a free review copy in exchange for my honest review.
