Female tough girl Shelby meets the first assassin, Hank, they fall in love. At first she seems like a sentimentalist ass but gets over it.
The second assassin Vlad, is a weirdo who starts off trying to get information about Shelby. He has planted bugs everywhere in this couple's house, he then kills them both without getting any useful information and then he takes off leaving all the bugs in place. Nice job killer!
Vlad doesn't even bother using technology to get his information ...like a telephone? Just call the unsuspecting couple (who haven't been warned by anyone) ask to speak with Shelby and if not there ask where to reach her. Too difficult? Ok, go poke the couple with a stick.
The killer, Vlad, told to wait at one location, runs around to the first expected place Shelby will be without even knowing she's alive or dead or where she will really show up. Just rush in- fool.
In the end we have no idea WHO really wants her dead do we? No. Then because Shelby wants money, to save her new boyfriend and sister, volunteers to be a hired killer for the same person who wanted her dead. They only get 30 thousand a hit and she really needs about 500 thousand. Puh-LUS she's going to cut off her thumb to prove she's dead for the original hit her boyfriend was supposed to make. I think I'd forsake the piddling 30/thumb bit, and go for the hirer. Makes for a better following novel. BTW This hot young piece of meat is with a guy 2x her age who's now half blind, limps and has cancer without a penny to his name. It all makes sense to me...not.
Ok the writing is fine, it has action and the story flows. Some things make no sense like the bugs everywhere. Why bother with all that if you're just going to kill people anyhow? But otherwise it doesn't suck.
