No Tomorrow by Tom Wood
5.0
I’m still reeling from that ending. AHHHHHH!!!!
No Tomorrow is book 4 in Tom Wood’s Victor the Assassin series. It absolutely stands on it’s own – but characters that were introduced in earlier books reemerge here.
I’m adding Wood to my list of authors that write strong, intelligent, and capable women characters. It showed in previous books but here he gives us two and they are present for almost the entire book. The first is Gisele who needs protecting, but has a sharp mind and learns quickly. She is independent and fierce, yet rightfully terrified at her circumstances. I adore how she keeps Victor on his toes. The second is one of the antagonists who also shows why she is at the top of her profession. Who is the cat and who is the mouse? Brilliant writing.
I also continue to love that everything is not perfect for Victor and that I’m surprised by where the story and action scenes take me. There’s at least 5 more books (A Quiet Man was just released) so I know Victor survives – but I genuinely feel the peril and sometimes wondered how on earth he would make his way out of the situations. Not without a few more scars…
The ending was a wonderful surprise. It also leaves no clue as to where Victor is headed in The Darkest Day but I have it cued up and am ready to keep following his missions.
Narration:
Rob Shapiro. Oh man. It’s truly amazing when I feel myself leaning in to be part of a hushed conversation and jumping with excitement along with a character. Love it!
