Oh wow... wow. I have never been as entertained by book characters as I was with March and Island. Even as this review is being written, spontaneous bursts of laughter alternated with goofy smiles seem completely apropos.
OMG. Sorrynotsorry, but words are inadequate to convey how thoroughly I enjoyed EVERYTHING about Spotless
It had guns -and Bazookas-; brilliantly written action scenes; crack-your-ribs cast of main and supporting characters; intelligent and adorable female protag, and a male protag who is a hitman with OCD; plane hopping to France and Japan; mix these with some sinister but weirdly adorable villains, and you have a mix of genres done so impeccably you'd be forgiven for thinking this was Monk's 10th novel. Aaaannnd.... even the lack of S-E-X (we all know great smex scenes are an obsession of mine), did not detract from this stellar 5-star read.
Loved it!
‘I had sometimes met guys who looked like they worked out a lot; however, overly conservative social boundaries had restrained me from tearing their shirts open in public to check the goods.’
‘Okay, I’m lying. I couldn’t focus on the bandages. (...) I knew it was wrong, but I pictured myself burying my face in his chest to rub my cheeks against that damn hair and inhale his scent, kinda like cocaine addicts do when they’re at the end of the road and they just slam their face into the entire bag.’
