Comments: Jessie and Erica are both out, so Cecelia is going to question the one witness.
The art gives the book a dark, sinister appearance. The monsters are frightening and intimidating. As Erica battles the creature, you get the sense that it is the monster who should be afraid. Erica is a fighter and a killer, and she stops at nothing.
Cecelia meets with the only witness to the monster killings. You can feel the tension as Cecelia considers whether she should kill her.
Jessie and Erica have a long, honest conversation. Jessie is brutally honest about killing. It is a chilling aspect of the job of a monster hunter. Sometimes those they kill take a toll on the killer. Jessie explains the hardest parts of belonging to the Order. Deep down, Jessie is actually a good person; it is the world around her that is often not.
Jessie and Erica share a highly charged moment. These two monster killers talk about life, and you will feel shivers as you realize the intensity of their conversation.
Cecelia has a different outlook on how to handle Bex, the young girl who witnessed the monsters. She sees Bex as an innocent. Jessie and Erica, however, have already decided how to handle her. So how will the three of them settle their differences? The way these three operate around one another adds an electrifying intensity to this issue.
