This novella reads like a sapphic Supernatural fanfic and I'm here for it! Not going to spoil anything, but if you're at all a fan of SPN before things took a turn, this is the novella for you!

I loved this whole thing. It's paced excellently, tells a great story, and is in a world conveyed succinctly. If you like queer fantasy/mystery  novellas with life and death stakes, try this.
