 Our all-black-wearing hero is back. This time they can't get involved in the investigation as their feelings may stand in the way. But Grim's always operated with their heart. More victims are disappearing, which means more clues to help find Argyle before the full moon. 

Captain Drox realized that Grim wasn’t just a person who did weird jobs for money. They were a person who did whatever it took to help people.

It took Grim way too long to find the culprit since they were already signing the letters, but I'll give them a pass since they're worried about Argyle.
 
I missed the humour from the first novella, but this one explores darker emotions that scrunched my heart to then blow it back up. While Ubury the Bones was about acceptance, trust, and love; Boneless is about grief, forgiveness, and healing.
 
Grim may not be the hero the people in Embervein want, but they’re the hero they need.
