Did not finish book.

I'm sorry, but I just wasn't feeling it.
This is so over-the-top angsty and drags so much, that it genuinely gave me a bit of a headache.
The characters are extremely annoying and the big bad hitman was honestly more like a 14 year old schoolgirl having an angst-fest over something as mundane as walking through the supermarket or having to look into his crush's eyes. I'm sorry, but come on now.
The romance was extremely underdeveloped and was complete insta-love, which wouldn't be that terrible if it weren't for the fact that the hitman dude had supposedly let no one in for the past 10 years, shutting all of his emotions completely off, but then he looks into this random dude's eyes and he's basically in love? Riiiiiiiight.
All Jack and D did was fight. The tenderness was absent and there was nothing sweet about them together. They were always bickering and I couldn't see why either one of them would care about the other so much, let alone be head-over-heels in love with them.
The suspense was dumb. The action was dumb. The mystery was dumb. I didn't care.
This is also far too long. I feel like half of the time they were just making coffee or something, doing absolutely nothing interesting.
Maybe this could have been somewhat enjoyable if it was a lot shorter, but now it just became annoying to have to spend so much time with these tiresome characters and this dragged-out plotline.
