Nick tricks Finlay into a garbage dump and see talks about how his warm breath over the smell of the stench and how good he made her feel in that moment and I was grossed out.
Book two in this series and I cannot wait to read more. Finlay is still in the deep of things with Vero by her side. The things she gets herself into made me laugh and cringe... a lot of cringing.
Elle Cosimano wrote a book that I could not put down. The words just flowed perfectly. I read it in just a couple days. Once I started reading, I lost track of everything around me. I just needed to know what fix Finlay would get herself into next and how she would get out of it.
This is a must-read series, I cannot wait for book 3!

“And if I had to pick a safe name of my own—someone I could count on to stick beside me, no matter how messy my life got—it’d be Vero’s.”
I was HOOKED. I found this a lot more suspenseful than the 1st. Vero & Finlay’s relationship is everything to me. They are the perfect “found family” troupe.
My girl Vero will have her witty banter back in book 3 I know it

S’alright. I think the first book was sort of lightning in a bottle, and any follow up wasn’t going to have that same magic, but this is still fun.

Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead is another hilarious, fast-paced read with my favorite accidental assassin. The mystery hooked me (EasyClean’s reveal? Brilliant!), and Finlay remains a delight, where her wit and intuition shine, especially alongside her sidekick Vero. Nick fans will swoon, though Julian’s subplot felt unnecessary.
That said, the book’s biggest flaw is its crowded cast: at times, I had to pause and remember who was who amid the chaos. The humor and twists still land (and the pacing is perfect), but the overstuffed ensemble made it slightly harder to follow than the tighter first book. The drama veers into over-the-top territory compared to the first book, and I wasn't a fan of that part. It was just one thing after another. I appreciate humor and wit, but at some points in the book, it felt forced.
Perfect for: Fans of Book 1 who don’t mind a little extra chaos, or anyone craving a laugh-out-loud mystery with heart. Just keep a character cheat sheet handy!
I am thankful to have been given the ARC of this book frompubl isher Minotaur from Netgalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.
