Tamsyn Muir did it again. Her writing, as always, sucked me right into the story, even though, as always, I was confused for about 80% of the book. That doesn’t take away from the fun and gory action though. 
Deadly & obsessive lesbians and plot twists you don’t see coming. What more can you wish for?

‘Undercover’ is an adult fantasy short story about an undercover detective infiltrating a gang. The story has a bit of a horror vibe with creatures known as ghouls, undead humans that are cannibals. 

I really loved this plot, this was SO GOOD, definitely my favourite in the series so far and I think it’d be hard to top. I loved the characters, especially Lucille and Starr. Loved that it was sapphic as well! Also, the narration was soo good and the reveal at the end.. chefs kiss, I did not predict that! This was really fun. 

Rep - Sapphic (the Widower; Starr; Lucille)

TWs/CWs - Alcohol; Blood; Body Horror; Cussing; Death; Euthanasia; Gangs; Gore; Gun Violence; Imprisonment; Infection; Murder; Snake; Violence
