I only read A Foul Thing, so my review is only a reflection of that story. I chose not to read This Foul Murder because of the LGBT main characters and the fact that there would be more romance between them in this novella. So, if anyone wants to provide me with a summary of This Foul Murder with any important plot points that I’ll need to know before reading Foul Heart Huntsman, I’d be very appreciative!
I absolutely adored this novella. Ever since the end of Our Violent Ends, I’ve been anxiously awaiting more Roma and Juliette content. This was the perfect blend of domestic fluff + angst and a new, thrilling mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat.
As always, Chloe nailed the worldbuilding and I now want to move to this little village because THEY LIVE RIGHT ON THE WATER. LIKE HOW WONDERFUL IS THAT? 😭
Also, I love the tie-in to the end of Foul Lady Fortune because this really helps the reader have a better, more rounded sense of how this all played out from everyone’s perspective, which I loved.

These novellas were absolutely DELIGHTFUL, through and through. I didn’t realize just how much I missed these kids till I started reading, but gods, I really did. And I absolutely adore them all. They finally get to have the happiness and love they deserve, and I love that for them. I love it SO MUCH. I could try to talk about how cleverly Chloe set the stage for the final book, but like. I’m nose-deep in my Romette and Benmars feels and still sinking. They’re just SO GODDAMN CUTE. 🥹❤️

I missed these two so much 😍😍😍
Juliette bullying Roma and Roma falling deeper and deeper in love because of that is what keeps me alive and breathing
And they're gonna help Rosalind!??!?!?! If I tell you I scremaed, I'm not lying. I'm soso excited for Foul Heart Huntsman, now especially and I'm honestly about to reread all 3 books (and perhaps I'll reread Last Violent Call after all of them too 😅)

A foul thing and This foul murder did more to cure my clinical depression than a year on meds and over half a year of therapy. I have rested; I am at peace, I am happy. I will!!! be rereading
I swear to God that if Chloe somehow hurts Romajuliette or Benmars in Foul heart huntsman, I will avenge my pookies.
