Chaos Crew. We deliver expertly orchestrated chaos.
I think it's a great start to a new series. We have a trained killer with no knowledge of her past that had her life turned upside down when a group of men killed everyone she ever knew.
The whole book revolves around what happened after that, how she navigated her new world and interacted with her supposed enemies. Because of this, the pacing was a bit slow. It's all about introducing the characters, their dynamics, and setting the premise of the story.
Did I got bored reading it? Oh, heck no. Fortunately, the way the story was told held my interest and made me look forward to solving the mystery. The characters are well fleshed-out too so that's a win. There's one spicy scene if you're wondering.
The best part comes at the end, no surprise there. There's enough build up to make the whole scene phenomenal. It's a perfectly executed cliffhanger. Wait, you don't think cliffhangers are perfect? Pssh.
All in all, the book is worth the read and I'm really excited to jump onto book 2! Definitely recommended ~
