I love Eve Dallas and this series to bits, but As an ardent fan, there were always those tiny pesky things that made me raise an eyebrow. But this book finally shed light on them in quite a spooky way.

One thing that struck me was how Eve’s American centrism gets a reality check in these short stories, and this one was no exception. It’s like a haunting reminder that she can’t always trust her gut when the supernatural creeps in. And we definitely see her trying to fight it even when it’s staring her right in the face, but seeing her question her “I’ll believe it when I see it”, beliefs and grapple with the possibility of the unexplained was so satisfying honestly. It’s a reminder that even our beloved Eve Dallas can be a bit… well, ‘typical American’ at times and It’s about time she embraces the unexplained possibilities honestly. 

Peabody and Roarke, Eve’s partners-in-crime-solving, bring the perfect balance to her skepticism honestly. They’re all like, “Hey, supernatural things happen, it’s no big deal and totally possible”. Their belief adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. And let’s not forget the victim—a naive pop star slash superstar who sadly didn’t get enough time to reach her full potential. It’s like a captivating fusion of horror and a glimpse into the darker side of the music industry, particularly for female stars. Honestly don’t know why it took me longer to finish this particular one cause it was honestly a great one!
