A Wanted Woman

By Eric Jerome Dickey

Book Overview

Winner of the 2014 NAACP Image Award, A Wanted Woman is a dangerous thrill ride like no other from New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey.

The assassin called Reaper is a woman of a thousand faces, and just as many accents. In the blink of an eye, she can become anyone. Some desirable. All dangerous.

For Reaper, the Trinidad contract should be simple: infiltrate the infamous Laventille Killers' organization, earn access to her political target, eliminate him, and then escape from the island.

When complications arise and the job goes bad, Reaper has no viable exit plan. The LK warlords want her publicly executed, and their pursuit is far-reaching and merciless. Trawling for low-profile assignments is all Reaper can do to keep her skills sharp and garner money to survive. And for an assassin with so many changeable identities, her newest one is too frighteningly real--as an expendable pawn between two warring organizations. Now, trapped on an island paradise turned prison, Reaper discovers that family ties run deep on both sides. Somewhere, sometime, someone has to be trusted--but one wrong move could suddenly become her last breath.

I love the author

This book was amazing 👏 😍 ❤. Page turner beginning to the end and the end was explosive

Hmmmm...?

Don't get me wrong...I love eric Jerome Dickey, but this one I just couldn't get into. The main characters weren't all that relatable or likable even. The main character wasn't believable as a female... like the voice sounded more masculine as opposed to being a woman with a womans experience. She didn't really have any meat to her story or personality other than being predictably "tough." The relationship dynamics weren't fleshed out... the characters weren't developed and didn't transform over time. I finished it but it was a drag... which is very unlike EJD. Many sentences were repeated one after the other even. Nothing like the Gideon novels. It is almost as if he threw this one together to put out just until the new Gideon novel dropped. So... I would have to give this book a C-. It's okay to get in a few pages just before bed just to make your eyes tired but.. not worthy of a Saturday at the coffee shop. 3 stars is generous.
