Somebody Worth Killing By Jessica Payne
5+ STARS!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Meet Nadia Davis, a doting mom and
loving wife who has a big secret: she’s actually an assassin. And
she really needs a babysitter who shows up on time.
Nadia
Davis is living the dream as a successful working mom with a career she loves,
two adorable little girls, and a devoted husband who has no idea that she’s
secretly a hired assassin and psychopath who kills certified bad guys. So when
Nadia finds out she’s been “mommy tracked” by her assassin’s agency and is no
longer getting the bigger, more exciting jobs, she demands an important
mark…somebody worth killing.
But it turns out that big kill is the last person she expects—her husband. How
is the sweet, kind, teller-of-dad jokes she’s promised her life to an evil
villain who needs exterminating? Has their whole life together been a lie? Now
Nadia must choose between the two things she loves most in life, the career
that keeps her sane or the family she thought she knew.
Jessica Payne lives in Washington State with her daughter
and husband and an internet search history that would raise eyebrows. A firm
believer in strong coffee and stronger women, she writes about mothers
who know how to handle a sniper rifle and a carpool schedule with equal
precision. When she's not writing, you'll find her trail running through the
forests of the Pacific Northwest as she plots her next fictional murder. She is
the creator of the Substack community One Tired Mother.
MY THOUGHTS:
OMG! I freaking loved this book! I was actually late going into my office to get to work a couple of times because I could not stop reading.
I absolutely loved Nadia, the main character. She is a badass assassin for hire… But also, a very caring loving wife and mother. But wait... is this assassin actually being discriminated against because she's a mom? YES, yes she is! She isn't getting the "big jobs" because she's a mother. Nadia may be one of my favorite female characters, at least for this year, maybe longer.
Oh my gosh, towards the ending the book was getting faster and faster and I was reading faster and faster but trying to force myself to read slower. I wanted to know what was going to happen and how it was going to end, but I didn’t want it to end!
This book gets so exciting and so intense. My heart was racing, I had chill bumps, and I was almost in tears! I kid you not.
Immediately after finishing I raced to Amazon and put all her other books on my wish list! Is there another book in the works? There has to be! I am addicted now!
This
one is definitely going to the top of my favorites of the year list. It’s going
to be hard to beat this one!
I voluntarily posted this review after receiving NetGalley copy of
this book from Berkley Publishing Group. Thank You!
