    Going to check out the saving eve fanfic based on your suggestion. The series finale was so dissapointing that I've been looking for alternate endings (first place i looked was the books which is why I clicked on this vid).

    I've read the 1st two books which started out as digital novellas and I quite like them as their own entity. The differences between Eve & Villanelle in the book and the series is the fun part.

    omg yessss it's so good!!! the first season was written by phoebe waller bridge (if you're familiar) and that sets the tone, it's a spy show about murder but it's literally just a comedy that looks extremely pretty

    Iˋve read it after I saw the whole show. Because I didn´t like the show end. Im not shure that the book end is realistic for it. But I would have preferred an open ending on the show.

    @@readingaster Jodi Comer said in an interview about Killing Eve: Our show doesn't have a huge massage to the world. I'm not sure if she knew then what triggers this series. Why isn't there anyone saying we have to move on. Why not a miracle rescue. Other series have done that. I think the Killing Eve series ends up somewhere in the poison cabinet because it's hard to digest for those who get into it.

    The third book is written in the first person by Eve. She's thinking back on the shit show they had just lived through. Luke Jennings didn't want to make a continuing series out of these two women and their cat and mouse antics so he chose to close it out as a memory of Eve's. Well, he couldn't have made a series anyway. The first two books were putting these two women on a crash course and there was a definite ending coming. The third was clunky. Yes, Oksana was mean to Eve but that is because she was in a vulnerable place within herself that she didn't understand. The controller wasn't in control of herself when it came to Eve. The happy ending may have been too milk toast for many or most but not for me. I am so tired of same sex stories always having a tragic ending I was relieved and exhaled when they actually got to live together and be a couple and have love. I didn't really think they would. I thought Oksana was killed and had to force myself to keep listening. Thank God I did. And that's another thing. I listened to the books. Books 2 and 3 are read by Lucy Patterson and i love how she reads. She has perfect inflection and does great with the accents.I think it enabled me to have a different experience with the books. So, it was a weird book but I loved the happy ending. It's not the happy ending I would have pictured for the two but at least they didn't break up and they both lived!. Yea!
