The amount of world-building and character development in this short atmospheric story was an incredible achievement.

This has definitely made me prioritise Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s backlist.

Thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Original Stories for an eARC of this short story. Moreno-Garcia continues to be an auto-read author and this short story proves no different. She manages to create a great atmospheric short story in under 50 pages. This was fun though semi-predictable - definitely worth a read.
