Undercover by Tamsyn Muir
4.25
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

 So far, Undercover is the most ambitious of the short stories I've read. Not only did I like the idea of supernatural undercover, but I enjoyed this ghoul figure which felt a bit like sentient zombies. As someone who enjoys zombie movies, Undercover has an intriguing twist on the zombie capabilities. But as Undercover continues, we get a better sense of Lucille and her past. I can appreciate the ambition and the twist at the end - gasped aloud. While there were some parts that could have used a bit more due to the nature of the ambition of the story, this one has to be my favorite.
