Yoon-Sook Namgung is a 25-year-old Korean-American woman with the remarkable ability to see two types of “strings” connecting various people. The first is blue and stretches between sexual partners. The second—dark black—connects murderers and their victims. If you have a murder that needs solving, Yoon can help. Worried your partner is cheating on you? Yoon can literally SEE the connections. Yoon’s life—for all the drama and constant TMI—is good, at least until the day she notices a string, a BLACK string, connected to… herself! This means she’ll either soon murder someone, or be murdered herself! So…dang. Which one?

Cuando Yoon tenía 14 años sus padres fallecieron pero ella (debido al trauma) en ese momento obtuvo un “don”, puede ver hilos entre las personas que los conectan, los color azul para lo romantico / sexual y los color negro para la muerte (el asesino y su victima), con su don, empieza a trabajar con la policia para resolver casos, Yoon no puede ver sus propios hilos pero de repente un hilo la conecta, pero no sabe quien puede ser, y lo mas importante, no sabe si alguien la va a asesinar o si ella va a asesinar a alguien, y ahí empieza todo…
Estuvo muy interesante, me gustó la historia, estaba muy entretenido, y siendo sincera, no soy muy fan de ese estilo de arte, no es de mi gusto jaja pero creo que le da el toque a la “crueldad” de la trama, esta muy bien hecho, da totalmente las vibras jajaja, Yoon es una mujer muy loca, me gusta 😆, de igual manera lo recomiendo!!✨

When Yoon was 14 her parents passed away but she (due to trauma) at that time got a “gift”, she can see strings between people that connect them, the blue ones for romantic/sexual and the black ones for death (the murderer and his victim), with her gift, she starts working with the police to solve cases, Yoon can’t see her own strings but suddenly a string connects her, but she doesn’t know who it could be, and most importantly, she doesn’t know if someone is going to kill her or if she is going to kill someone, and that’s where it all begins…
It was very interesting, I liked the story, it was very entertaining, and to be honest, I’m not a big fan of that art style, it’s not my taste haha but I think it gives the touch to the “cruelty” of the plot, it’s very well done, it totally gives the vibes hahaha, Yoon is a very crazy woman, I like it 😆, anyway I recommend it!!✨
Thanks Netgalley Mad Cave for the arc
