BOOK BLURB
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.
MY REVIEW
Nadia is a wife, mother, and professional assassin. When she finds out she has been “mommy tracked” at work, she demands a bigger target for her next job. Unfortunately, her next target ends up being her husband.
Somebody Worth Killing is a fun thriller. Nadia is an intriguing character, facing challenges in her personal and work lives. Sure, she’s an assassin, but she has always requested the targets be truly bad people. When her latest assignment ends up being her husband, she can’t see how he could be a villain.
Somebody Worth Killing is a gripping read. Fans of anti-heroine thrillers will enjoy this one.
