Two former serial killers trying to keep their past buried realize that old habits die hard in this "wildly original, razor-sharp thriller" (Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Okay this was a hoot to read! Bloody good fun, sometimes quite literally! Haze and Fox fell in love at first sight, in a dark alley, over the body of a dying man (and together finished the job). Haze swore a bit too much for my liking but I enjoyed her friendship with Jenny, and the artwork she can create if inspiration strikes (usually at the cost of someone else). Now they may be two serial killers (the good kind though, only going after those that deserve it) but after Bibi arrived (a new baby always upends people's lives) things are a bit stressful as both try to figure out what to do with excess time since they made a promise to not kill until she grew up (too risky). There are so many secrets and when your first impulse is to stab the problem head on, there does arise quite a bit of tension which leads to funny and sad and violent actions. I found my way laughing through this book, especially at Hazel's reaction when she slips and stabs an attacker to death.
I enjoyed this book a lot and I will say it was a plot that I had not really read before but I found it intriguing how two serial killers can find love and figure out a life for them and their child, and still remain together doing what they love. That ending was quite surprising and I did not guess it but liked it. Cause they are good serial killer vigilantes going after the big bad men. :)
