This book took a wild turn that I was not expecting at all. Undecided on how I feel about it and how it all ties together with the rest of this series.

I feel like I spent the entirety of this book frustrated with the whole crew. They are all supposed to be highly skilled killers/criminals/mercenaries and no one was even the slightest bit concerned with Dess becoming part of the Malik family…? They are a high publicity political family and this literal trained killer is just going to jump into the limelight? No hesitation about that? Really?
Blows my mind tbh
Common sense and logic do not exist anymore.
That’s really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these supposedly well trained, best in the world, killers for hire not acting like it at all and being very blind and blasé about some major red flags and general “duh” moments throughout the book.

I’m so irritated by that portion that I can’t even think straight to string together coherent sentences and critiques.

The spicy scenes were good though and I loved getting to know more about the guy’s back stories. Would have loved to see more connections being built between Decima and her men and less about her actively ignoring one red flag after another.
