Generation ships are one of my favorite tropes. This idea of a failing one found really interesting. The world was original and the storytelling compelling.

Almost disappointed with how much of a happily ever after there was but that might just be me.

Two lesbian assassins who go after the same mark without knowing? That’s the kind of (romantic) suspense book I’ve been waiting for.
First the romance and relationship felt really rushed and more based on instant attraction than anything else. But that might also be because the literary flirting was hard to follow as a non-anglophone.
The mystery and suspense was much better. It felt like reading a spy novel based in Mexico City. The environment felt rich and so did the plot. But like a spy movie it’s better not to question most of the actions of the main characters. (Like why is nobody tracking cell phones? What about the CCTV? How are they getting away with it all?).
In summary is was a fun fast action packed read but the romance could have had more depth.

Thank you Ylva Publishing for the ARC, as always all my opinions are my own. 

I finished this in one sitting! I think it will be a while before I approach a mushroom without thinking of this story. 
Paul Simard cleans hoarding houses for a living but in this story it will become clear why the biologist's house is his last one. 
I love books that mix proza with nature, so this book spoke to me on that level. But the human element about grief, hoarding and loneliness were aso really well done. The way this book mixes all those elements was really unique but also creepy. 

Thank you RA Busby for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

For some reason this edition feels more Uncanny than previous issues I've read. My favorite by far was Markets of the Otherworld.

I need the people in my fiction to have agency and be smart about their actions. Eva is not one of those mcs, in the first two chapters she's already 1) not been paid and done nothing about it and 2) going to follow the bad guys' instruction without question. M

All the things I love in a historical romance:
-working class mcs
-interesting bits of history (reform movement)
-MCs that are each others equals
-the prim and proper MC learns to let go a little bit.
-not regency but victorian times!
-two independent women with careers and knowledge about the world.
