"You were undercover. I'm undercover." She found herself saying: "It's a hellish world."
New in town Starr finds a job under the local crime boss as a bodyguard for a dancing ghoul. Thankless, disgusting, and dangerous work specially as Lucille, the monster in question, is smarter than she should be. It all gets more complicated when tensions rise between gangs making Starr's job harder with potentially dire consequences.
Yuck! But in a good way, a fine balance between gore and guts and character work. Confusing though, Tamsyn Muir tried to do far too much world building for the amount of pages she had. It took me two or three short chapters to realize that the city they were in moved and in the end I didn't feel like that mattered all that much. Same with the gangsters' infighting and issues with the law, it bogged down the central plot. The characters were the best part of this short story and the ending did surprise me so it was a good read.

The badly painted lips peeled off those sharp pink teeth."Amy," the ghoul panted. "Amy, I still dream about you."
ghouls lovers rejoice
I really enjoyed the story but there was a lot of lore packed into a short story, which both had me wanting more but also became an issue of packing too much in while wanting to see more interaction between the characters.
A little messed up but in a fun way
