A review by bookgirl4ever
The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer

2.0

Riley lives in Victorian England, an apprentice to a ruthless assassin. When Riley goes on his first job to kill someone he learns he doesn't have it in him. But then the job goes awry when the mark pulls Riley into modern day England through a wormhole of sorts. He finds himself in a warehouse housing a top secret witness protection program run by the United States. It is here he meets Chevron, a teenage FBI agent (hmmm...) who was reassigned to this top secret post after botching another job. Chevron has no idea what she is protecting until Riley shows up. When her team is unable to clean up the mess from the other side and the deadly assassin makes his way to modern day England, Chevron finds herself fighting keep herself and Riley alive.

Could not suspend my disbelief.
