Okay. The saga continues. I love how Villanelle is missing Eve and feeling incomplete without her. She is also feeling vulnerable by wondering if Eve will ever choose her in the end. I have faith that Eve will of course, because Eve truly loves Villanelle as she so honestly professed it in Book 3. I can't stand Balice (Malice, ha-ha) and Villanelle should get rid of that 'suka' soon. Love the writing Luke and of course looking forward to the next installment. Cheers!

Omg 😳 love who Johnny is appearing to be right now loving his character 😆Snapping Villanelle out of that lost bubble, I’m sure so much more will be revealed regarding Eves thoughts, position, & if she is really falling for their idea or not . Hate Balice with a passion, the fact Villanelle has been told she has basically played into her hand 😬 she isnt going to take that one lightly. I honestly thought she would have dealt with Balice a lot sooner considering Eve had told her about Balice threatening and putting the fear of god in her over Villanelle. Luke the mastermind thank you 🥰 👏👏👏💯🔥🎢smashed it ! loved this chapter! It’s going to be along week , counting down the days & hours 😂

Yes! I just knew Johnny was someone with great importance that was going to link something together! I can't wait to find out more!

I hate Balice! I want Villanelle to kill that suka too! My blood boiled when she was telling everyone that Villanelle was being moody because she was "missing her ex". How disrespectful!

My heart hurts for Villanelle's heart. She can't even let Eve drift into her thoughts for a second or it will tear her to shreds!🥺

Oh man, I can´t wait for a new reunion between V and Eve. Also, I NEED to know about Eve's perspective of this journey. Thank you for another great update :)

Incredible storytelling, Luke. You continue to unveil layer after layer of Villanelle’s complex personality. I look forward to these weekly installments, I hope it never ends!

It's interesting watching Villanelle's awakening. I'm finding it almost impossible to separate the Villanelle of Killing Eve from the Villanelle we have here. It's on that basis I see her eclipse her Killing Eve persona and willingly falls in to a self reflexion. It seems for the first time she is happy to embrace her feelings. Not needing a therapist she is figuring out she is greater than the 'unfeeling' person she thought herself to be and seems to be having a love/hate relationship to these new experiences. Is she growing in to them because they keep Eve close as she relives the memories, or will she become too overwhelmed with the loss they pull to the surface and want to shut them down. It will be interesting to see her character development unfold.

I can't imagine Eve doesn't miss Villanelle and their relationship as much as Villanelle. What I do imagine is that she, too, is playing the part they expect of her whilst at the same time gathering as much information as she can about all the players and their why's and wherefores. I see her saving every morsel waiting for the moment she can share with Eve. Something bigger is afoot.

Thanks Luke. :) It's nice to have a book that makes me think. It expands the experience. I look forward, as always, to the next chapter.

I just finished watching the complete series and I felt robbed. Robbed of Villanelles ability to love and be loved, and for her and Eves happy ending. Now that I found Lukes resurrection a new hope has dawned on me. Thank you Luke, I'm ever so greatful for not letting their love die. I can breathe again ❤️

Johnnyyyyyyyyy boyyyyyyyyy! good luck to you sir, handlers of Villanelle don't seem fated to live long lives.

I suppose, in that sense, Balice qualifies as well. Yikes. I'm rooting for you, lady! Each extra day (chapter) alive is a victory.

Not sure if Luke is going to go there because it would be too neat and tidy, but it's fun to imagine Eve somehow getting roped into some part of this mission somehow, say, ending up on the Tiberius yacht or something at a crucial time, just as Villanelle gets there.

Eve and Balice have got to meet in person, right???

I thought Eve and Balice did meet in person -- wasn't Eve interrogated by her? Didn't she offer that deal to Eve, who knew her as Maria?

You are totally right! And of course, they meet (........) we shall see how it goes next time...

You'd like to think that if Eve really loved V then she'd leave Niko and her old life in a heartbeat

You would!

Why does MI6 need Eve back in her old life to get Villenelle working for them ? They could have just threatened or abducted Eve to induce Villenelle to work for them . The weekly bits are too short for me !

Hi Janaki. MI6 want Eve back because they still regard her as their agent. Her experiences in Russia (Die for Me) with V will be valuable to them, so they want to encourage her to return to the fold.

So Fernandes is lying when he says They want Eve because she is their lost sheep. Not for her operational skills. Sorry to nit pick !

No he's not. He's saying exactly what I said in my last reply.
