It Had to Be You by Eliza Jane Brazier
3.0
The book features Eva and Jonathan, deadly assassins facing threats on their lives, reminiscent of Mr & Mrs Smith. The alternating POVs and tense scenarios make for an engaging read. While not a typical thriller, it combines dark humor, action, and romance effectively.
The chemistry between Eva and Jonathan is palpable, and their banter adds a layer of depth to their characters. The action sequences are well-written and kept me on the edge of my seat, while the romantic moments provide a nice contrast to the violence. The unexpected twists and turns in the plot keep the reader guessing, and the resolution is satisfying. However, I found the lack of character development frustrating, as Eva and Jonathan remain somewhat one-dimensional throughout the story. Additionally, the repetitive nature of the plot kind of become tiresome for me, as the cat-and-mouse game between the assassins and their enemies drags on.
Despite these drawbacks, the book is a fun and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of dark humor and fast-paced thrillers. The unexpected spicy moments add an extra layer of excitement to the story, making it a recommended read for those looking for a mix of action, romance, and humor. Just be prepared for a bit of drawn-out angst towards the end.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher fore the arc!
