Actually raging at this one 😐😩 My book got thrown across the room.
Vert similar to the first two, wit Nagare, Kazu and Sachi front and centre, we have a new setting - and whilst I like the short and lyrical stories, meaning its easy to pick up, and the comfort that comes with knowing what you're getting, that was just cruel man.

Hmmm this is a tricky one for me to review. Whilst I enjoyed the serial killer plot, and the steam was steaming...it was also, somehow, very juvenile in its writing? And I was never fussed about picking it up. To be honest, if I'd paid for it, I'd have been disappointed, but as it was available on KU, its no real loss to me.
Graphic and prolonged scenes of torture, violence, and scenes of a sexual nature throughout.
FYI, the word huff is mentioned 33 times in this book.

I really enjoyed Severance, though its a strange read. There are three different storyline, Candace in the 'Now' post Shen pandemic, Candace pre Shen pandemic, specifically the 5 years pre pandemic focusing on her day to day life and work life, and the story of Candace's immigrant family.
I don't know how it worked, but somehow it did and I really enjoyed it.
