I was eagerly looking forward to this fantastic pair's story because I secretly had 'shipped' them the first time they interacted many books ago. I definitely enjoyed reading Venom+Holly's cheeky verbal exchange and the pace of progression of their low-key feelings for each other. However, the weird nature of the alien-interjection in the end left a somewhat bile taste in my mouth - I felt that the storyline felt too rushed and somewhat incomplete as the book was wrapping up. As a reader, I'm still confused to the extent of Holly's true powers. So I'm hoping we will get to see more of Holly's updates in the forthcoming books or short stories.
