Last Hit

Hitman, Book 1

De: Jessica Clare, Jen Frederick

Narrado por: Iggy Toma, Kasha Kensington

Nikolai: I have been a contract killer since I was a boy. For years I savored the fear caused by my name, the trembling at the sight of my tattoos. If you saw my eyes, it was the last vision you'd have. With her I am the mark, and I am ready to lie down and let her capture me. Opening my small, scarred heart to her brings out my enemies. I will carry out one last hit, but if they hurt her I will bring the world down around their ears.

Daisy: I've been sheltered from the outside world all my life. Home-schooled and farm-raised, I'm so naive that my best friend calls me Pollyanna. I like to believe the best about people. Nikolai is part of this new life, and he's terrifying to me. Not because his eyes are cold or my friend warns me away from him but because he's the only man who has ever seen the real me beneath the awkwardness. With him my heart is at risk...and also my life.

Contains mature themes.

It was ok

Language is crude. If you like Russian accidents this is the winner for you. Good originally in the storyline. Ok read

Fascinating and Intense!

Last Hit is so fascinating and super intense! I loved Nic and Daisy’s characters. Despite vastly different backgrounds, they are so alike and so different at the same time. Daisy’s past unravels as we move through this compelling story of love, trust, betrayal, heartbreak, and triumph. I loved Nic’s perspective having grown up as an assassin for the Bratva, how he developed his own code in order to survive, and how he has created independence for himself. Daisy is super sheltered and is missing so many nuances due to her childhood, yet she is strong, brave, determined, and sweet. They are like fire and ice yet make the perfect match. The subplots and drama that ensues from their connection is outstanding, with complexity and depth. I absolutely adore how Nic makes Daisy his world and does everything with respect to her and her feelings—swoon! And the ending? Oh yes, what a dynamic ending! No spoilers, but it is so worth it!!!

The narrators did a wonderful job with these complex roles. The accents were so interesting—though sometimes inconsistent—yet the performances we strong and engaging. I can’t imagine the challenge in playing a cold and emotionless assassin with origins in Russia and a heavy accent was easy. The post-production of this audiobook could use a bit of work—there were inconsistencies in volume and mix down. Not overly disturbing but enough of them that I noticed.

Still Better than REACHER

This is still one of my 5 top series that I have listened to 34-5 times for inspiration hope, and pleasure.
It enlightens us in the areas of agoraphobia, vigilantes, sex trafficking,, and virtuous people.around the world, and in Russia.

These 2 authors have won me over with their character/plot development and radical transparency as to what is going on in our world.

Their series weaves a tapestry of how virtuous people around the world can come together to give our world hope.

Their character show us how we can all grow to help others as well as our world,
one step at a time.

As for romance this book has multiple flowing plots and themes with diverse characters. There is intimate and erotica moments that are very educational.
I usually am uncomfortable with Erotica? and fast forward through it, but not as frequently in this book as it is so well written.

I so wish these authors would get together again to address more issues that are happening these days, and add
Penny Reid To their writing team, so they could be the three musketeers or musketeer ets🤗

I hope to buy this series in paperback/hard bound even though I can't read novels anymore due to Long-Haul because I think so much of them and want them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do.❤️
I am the master run-on sentence maker.

Great Anti-Hero Story

I thought this was a great "mafia" style story. The story itself is compelling and the voice acting is top notch. I especially loved the performance of the male voice actor. Pretty good!

Last Hit is a Hit!

Great easy listen, can't wait for the next installment to find out Regan's story. Funny, sexy, sad, serious all in one book.
