Eveen is an undead assassin in service to a goddess.  When she comes face to face her latest mark, she experiences a memory, something that is not supposed to be possible. The two escape and try to figure out who has set them up, how, and why, while being chased through the city by Eveen's fellow assassins determined to force her to fulfill her contract and generally make her unlike miserable. 

This novella was a wild ride from practically start to finish, where things just went bat s—t crazy in the best way.  The plot is tight and twisty.  I thought setting the events in the middle of a big festival involving costumes and character roles was fun.  The assassins vary from eccentric, to creepy, to downright sociopathic.  Overall I had a very good time and would love to read more in this world. 

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and Tor in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are entirely my own.
