SO SO SO GOOD
Trigger Warnings:

Loved the fact that one of the main characters was a 30 year old virgin!

Not as engaging for me as the previous two, but nevertheless charming and assassin-riddled.

You meet eccentric psychiatrist Toby and laid-back assassin Soren in Play Dirty (wages of sin book 2). toby has dedicated his life to fit in with regular world and to see if he can council and possibly control the killers of the world. When he realizes his life work is a shame his patient list becomes his kill list. Enter Soren, laid-back semi-retired assassin, to teach Toby how to kill with discretion. This is opposites attract romance at its best. Funny and sensual all at the same time.

i didn’t like it. after the second book this one wasn’t interesting but boring. i didn’t connect with main characters. soren was always too chill and tobias too annoying.
tobias was a wannabe killer and i didn’t enjoy that narrative. he also acted like a spoiled child.

This one was so much fun. Wasn't sure I was going to like it since it focuses characters who got little page time in the previous two books. What was great was that, while being in the Wage of Sin world, it edged into Necessary Evils territory and I can't say I mind because I love that series, too. Tobias is so complex and interesting. He's like an unreliable narrator to an extent. Like he's lied to himself or made assumptions or something for so long that his reality is fixed in a way that others can't see also. And Soren? I wasn't expecting a super sweet, supportive cinnamon roll. Also love the callbacks to Madi and Az (because they remain my faves).
re-read: yeah. so. is this book tied with Madi and Az's book as my favorite? maybe. I mean, Soren is such a freaking sweetheart and I adore him. *sigh* it would be.. A Choice to just.. immediately re-reread this series, huh?
this and all future rereads: still torn over which book is my fave. I adore them both more than I can say.

DNF... at 50%
It hurt my heart to do this to a Neve book.. but I just can't get into this book. I tried picking it multiple times, but no dice.
And given that I skimmed through these 50%... it wasn't a good sign.
Reasons:
1. There was a certain shallowness to the book: from the characters to the plot and the connection between the MCs.
2.Tobais... I didn't like him AT ALL.
Tobias who has been working with criminals and dissect their psyche..decided to turn into one practically over night. Not only that, but we didn't actually get into his own Psyche of how and why he wants to kill his clients. For someone with this job, I was expecting someone more logical, rational and smart. I didn't get that here. He was a surface deep character, who was plain annoying for me.
3. The connection...
I didn't buy it. What made them attracted to each other?
4. The sex... the sex scenes read weird for me. I also skimmed them. Me!
I wanted to love this book so bad. Book 2 was one of my faves, Az and Madigan were amazing but these characters, and their book, fell flat for me. High expectations suck.
Sorry!
