DNF at page 140.

What the hell is this book? I can't finish it.

The hero's thoughts: Was she trying to kill him? No, she was too gauche. Or ... sneakily clever. She's wearing the wrong bra size. She must be trying to kill him! He will seduce/rape her to discover the truth ... Oh, shit, she's an innocent. But why was she wearing the wrong bra size?!?!?!?

The heroine's thoughts: La dee da! Oh, he's sexy. Must not show attraction. Must translate. Who are these weird ass grocers? Oh, well. Hmm, turns out I like being raped by hot men. Who knew?

The other characters: We're illegal arms dealers/giddy adolescents. All we can talk about is sex!!!! Who gives a crap about these illegal weapons? Sex!!! Weird sex games! I like to watch!!!! Ha ha ha, we're so bad. Hey, where's this guy we're expecting? Who's going to be our new leader? Hey, wait, let's talk some sex some more and pretend we're jaded. Oh, and let's kill the translator. Bastien, you do it.

Ugh. No. This is just too awful.

Jenna The bra must have been cutting off blood supply to her brain! :)


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ Ha ha! And apparently the hero doesn't know as much about women as he thinks he does. A lot of us wear the wrong size!

Haha, so true!!


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ We're all undercover assassins, obviously.


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ I can't wait to see your take on this, Nenia. *waits in evil glee*


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ Either way, your review will be entertaining!


Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell I finished my reread! The book did not hold up to my memories. :( I don't know why, but the rape and torture really made me a lot more uncomfortable this time around. And Bastien was such a sexist jerk!


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ Aw, sorry it didn't hold up for you! :(

Mir Who are these weird ass grocers?

Hahaha, whaaa?

I just realized this review might be confusing for people who haven't read the book, lol. The bad guys were posing as grocers for some reason.

Mir That doesn't seem like a good choice of cover -- wouldn't people try coming in to buy groceries?

I started a book in this series and dropped it so fast.


Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell Oranges were code for hand grenades. And there were these larger weapons, called "Legolas", which sheep were code for. >_>



A most deadly weapon indeed.


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ Oh yes, very deadly. >:D


message 17: by Mir (new)

Mir Do grocers deal much in sheep? What country was this set in?


Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ I honestly don't recall much, especially since I didn't finish it. I do remember wondering why so many people had to meet and discuss illegal arms.

Nenia? Do you know what country it was in?
