Assassin Next Door

Love this author. Loved the book.

this book was entirely too long and slow. Considering it was only an 8 hour listen, that's not saying a lot. The focus was more on the fact that the neighbor was an assassin and less about building up the relationship between the two. I didn't feel any connection between Calvin and Lily, even their banter was dry. Then there are the common sense moments that were just too damn obvious and predictable. I found myself shaking my head during the entire book. I seriously considered not finishing this book. It was a complete waste of time. However I do agree with previous review that it needs to be a dual narration.

This book definitely needed dual narration. This is about a hit man, but honestly it's almost campy. He slick, he's smooth, he moves with grace... It's almost overdone. There was not significant character development. The heroine is kinda dumb, I expected more from an abused wife. She seemed to get over her abuse PDQ. I didn't LOVE either the H or h. Although I enjoyed this book, I won't continue the series.

Surprising twists and turns!
