Loved It!

Unbelievable? You betcha’ but, it’s fiction. Reality is too frightening! I rarely pick up non-fiction. I’m living that horrid life. This is a definite thriller. The ‘hero’ is a paid killer. He runs toward trouble. I loved this book. The narrator did an excellent job. I was able to visualize every scene. If you’re a ‘pick every scene apart’ type of reader and cannot tell truth from fiction, this is not the book for you. But, if you are reading for the enjoyment of reading a thriller, look no further! Our ‘hero’ is able to get out of impossible scenarios, with the help of a friend (at times), bring down the bad guy while looking him in the eye, and walk away without remorse! THRILLER! WOW!

Glorifies a Killer for hire

It’s about a killer who has a skill and a code of ethics, but not a conscience. I don’t think I care about the character. Not interesting.

True Conviction

The story was exciting you didn’t know what was going to happen next. I was waiting to hear what happened to Claire or the fight scene in the bar.

Too Unbelievable

I enjoyed the book enough to read it. Much of it was too far out to be believable. Not sure I’ll get more of them yet.

My first review for Audible!

This is the first time I’ve written a review for an audiobook. However, this book had me hooked from beginning to end. I’m sorry it is going to end in the next 24 minutes. I have already purchased the next two books in the series. The character of Adrian Hell as an assassin is well conceived and had me hanging on every word. I highly recommend this author and this series. It is well worth the credits.

Meh

First the positives. 1. The narrator did an excellent job. 2. I am not crazy about this book as far as plot. I don’t mind unrealistic situation’s, but this book was far beyond an realistic situation. The book was fine but not great.

HITMAN Thriller?

More like a Thriller/Comedy. Adrian Hell is a stupidly funny assassin. This is a fun read.

Super Hero

Continually able to rise from harrowing situations. Some twists and turn that were great fun. Very light reading but kept me coming back.

Very entertaining

Very on point for the genre/category. Narration is subtle and solid. A nice opening salvo in a series I intend to continue with!
