5 bloody stars
"It's a hellish world."
Tamsyn Muir's niche genre is writing fucked up zombie lesbians and she excels at it. This was very dark and had a lot of gore and bloodshed (can it be a Tamsyn Muir book without bones and gore?), and makes the other stories in this collection feel pretty tame. I found The Six Deaths of the Saint pretty dark, but Undercover is multiple leagues ahead.
I love how Muir's books are always a huge puzzle waiting to be solved. This one has its fair share of twists but being a veteran reader of her Locked Tomb books I was able to figure it out pretty early on. despite that, it was fun to spot the clues and gaslight myself 😂😂.
Definitely my favorite along with Alix E. Harrow's short story. Can never go wrong with either of these authors.

"Best part about rereading Muir's books is how you spot so many clues that you overlooked the first time. For example, the first line of this story is a dead giveaway"
