Nyx&#8217;s team is a mishmash of the dregs of society, and it consists of\u00a0Taite, a young com tech; Anneke, a hired gun who likes carrying around guns almost as big as herself; Rhys, a Chenjan bug magician, able to control swarms of bugs; and Khos, a bulky shape shifter. \u00a0An ex-soldier and ex-assasin, Nyx&#8217;s existence consists mostly of bounty hunting and then drinking away her past, and the others on her team go along for various similar reasons. \u00a0She&#8217;s deeply flawed, prickly, morally grey, and kind of a bitch, so of course I loved her. \u00a0This anthology doesn&#8217;t have much of an overarching theme &#8211; it&#8217;s more of a series of heists that outline Nyx&#8217;s character and her relation to her team. \u00a0While the first two stories are novella-length, the last three are short stories, and all of these were previously published on the author&#8217;s Patreon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPlotting?\u201d he asked.<br \/>\n\u201cYou know me well enough to know I don\u2019t think any of this shit through beforehand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Body Project&#8221; &#8211; <b>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b>While out on a bounty hunt, Nyx and her team find a dead body &#8211; and a head floating in the window of the building several stories up. \u00a0She quickly realizes it&#8217;s one of her former military team members, and someone who should already have been dead. Nyx, out of obligation to her old team member or some other whim, decides to investigate, and is drawn into a mystery that will endanger her current team.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnyway,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019m in the market for a shifter anyway. You know anyone?\u201d<br \/>\nThe man raised his brows. \u201cYou\u2019ve brought a dead shapeshifter here, which you admit was killed in your own basement, and want me, a shifter, to recommend a good shifter to you?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYeah,\u201d Nyx said.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Heart Is Eaten Last&#8221; &#8211; <b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b>This was my favorite of the bunch. \u00a0Another job, another pretty woman lying to Nyx, another chance to get her whole team blown up. \u00a0Nice and twisty, with some seriously messed up moments!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are discussing the plan we need to come up with to finish the job that we contracted for.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe should have just stolen her leg,\u201d Taite said.<br \/>\n\u201cFuck you and the fucking leg,\u201d Nyx said.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Soulbound&#8221; &#8211; <b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605<\/b><b>\u2605 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b>An easy job to round up some on-the-run magicians turns into an excursion into the disputed territory between Nasheen and Chenja. \u00a0Surprisingly hilarious and action-packed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is the hell you made yourself.
