Book 100 for 2024. 3.75/5 stars for this mystery read. It's totally fine! Have to suspend some belief for sure. Another you can't take too seriously, and just enjoy the journey.

I loved the idea of a female hit man type of main character. It was a really engaging read, couldn’t put it down when I picked it up.

Amazing!!! It’s currently 2:38am and I just finished because I could not put this book down! I was hooked from the beginning and the twists along the way were so wild! I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor a few times!
