Nineteen-year-old Sophie Jones has been molded under her mother Charlotte’s lethal guidance, mastering killer skills to inherit the family’s assassin business.

Favorite Quotes:
Really, I’d prefer dinner over murder, but what can you do?
My throat tightens. It feels like I’m choking on all the lies I haven’t told yet.
My Review:
It’s another taut, terse, and heavily barbed thriller from the dynamic Britney King. I so enjoy her snarky wit and dark sense of humor. The characters found between the covers of this book were of the most annoying variety, I despaired of them, but I didn’t mind at all that they were disposing of even worse examples of humanity. The plot was fast-paced, highly active, and thrummed with tension.
I must admit to probable cognitive decline in my advancing years as I struggled more than a bit with this one as I felt at sea in trying to remember even fragments of the first installment from 5 years ago… I’ve slept since then. The little pea in my brain just shrugged at my probes for recollection. A self-frustrated and huffed surrender mid-way through for a quick retread of volume one helped immensely. I would highly recommend reading volume one before plunging into volume two.
