Who says retirement is boring? Four women who’ve been secret assassins for an extra-governmental organization for decades have been sent on a retirement cruise, just to find that they are now targeted by that same organization. They have to save themselves.

There’s a lot of violence/murder in this book. But you have to love these women. I do hope this becomes a series or movie (and I rarely say that!)

I  thought this was just perfection. I absolutely flew through it, and it was one of those reads where I got mad at other tasks in my life that took me away from it lol. The writing is tight and descriptive, the story flowed forward effortlessly, and I LOVED older women getting to be the heroes. What a treat. I can't wait to read this author again. And that she dedicated it to anyone who identifies as female and feels rage - that got me right in the ol' ticker.
