Into the Gray by Margaret Killjoy ★★★★☆

"We’re not the same," she told me. "It’s not possible for us to lead the same life." 


Beautiful trans thief falls madly in love with a mermaid, a hungry mermaid. With a love Laria understands is obsession, they lead evil men to die in the Waking Waters. 


"It’s always beautiful to watch someone perform their life’s work... the Lady, she was beautiful as she stripped flesh from bone." 


Oh yeah!


But really, it’s about trying to find acceptance... in the wrong place.


This dark fantasy felt rushed and clipped, like a compromised novella. Still a good read though.


Read it for yourself:
