Review: Mill Avenue Vexations Volume Seven – A serial by Kyt Dotson

Kyt Dotson’s seventh volume, Doom in the Distance, consists of three more chapters of her “Mill Avenue Vexations”: Seeing Things, Crime Scene, and With Much Ado.

The first chapter, Seeing Things,consists of Megan, a virtual innocent who Vex has identified as a powerful witch, having dream/visions of the supernatural murders happening around the campus. Vex and Patrick keep her close to them while they investigate. In Crime Scene, Vex, after instructing Patrick and Megan to wait in the hall, enters the dorm room where the crime happened and conjures a vision of the events. She discovers the nature of the events and the magic involved. The conclusion of this volume, With Much Ado, finds Vex, Megan and Patrick back at Vex’s apartment, attempting to recover from the events and discoveries in Crime Scene. the three make a plan to help the situation while Vex hopes the future events don’t drive Patrick away from their budding relationship.

As the story progresses and the plot ramps up, Kyt makes sure to include impressions of the events from more than one character, giving the reader insight in the feeling and thoughts of not only Vex, who is experienced in the occult, but Megan, who is at this moment discovering her abilities and Patrick, who doesn’t appear to have any occult abilities, but has intuition about situations removed from grounded reality.
