She’s got a to-do list to die for. But can this contract killer take down the most powerful man in the world?

Frightening at times

Gritty, realistic, scary and it could have been written just yesterday about our current political corruption here and abroad . A skilled linguist that always have just the right way of painting a word picture.

A Four star read

Assassin Awakens (Mystic Assassin Book 1), my third read/listen from author Theresa Crater. Well-written with well-developed main characters. A 4-hour 30-minute/190-page assassination/conspiracy thriller. “I received a complementary Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." Hannah Baker's narration suffers in comparisons to Kristen Paige's voice replica narration of the second book in the series. The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

An assassin on a mission

Rainey is an assassin. She has a mission given to her by something on the other side and a list of people to take out. She works with some group called control. These are the pieces I gathered from listening to the book.
In this first book of a possible series, Rainey has a target to take out but make it look natural. She goes to great lengths to acquire something in Asia and visits Tibet while there.
She has flashbacks to experiences preceding her death experience that make be triggers for people who have been raped,
The narrator does a good job.
So why 3 stars? I just feel like I didn’t have enough context to really understand why Rainey would become an assassin. Who she was getting resources from and checking in with? I suppose it’s supposed to be mysterious. Her target is a blowhard and evil political figure. It feels like the author is making a statement about her views of current affairs. So if you have strong views that oppose the author’s, you may not like this book.
I received a copy of the audiobook from the author for review.
