Finlay Donovan Is Killing It wasn't everything I hoped it would be but that's totally because I was expecting a different kind of story. I don't even know why because the plot it exactly what the synopsis tells you: woman gets mistaken for a hitman and seriously thinks about doing the job because she needs the money.
Sounds hilarious and yes, it was. Finlay is such a mess but a charming one, even though I needed a few chapters until I really started rooting for her. I also loved Vero a lot, both women together were an amazing duo.
At the beginning I was a bit worried that this would be more romance heavy but it wasn't, Finlay meets two men in this book she's interested in/that are interested in her but it's a smaller part of the plot and I really liked that. The story was suspenseful, not too predictable and just so much fun to read about because as I said, Finlay is a bit of a mess and she's again and again in impossible situations and it was just great to read about her struggling with writing, her family, money problems, relationship problems and the small thing that she may or may not have killed someone.
Overall it was a really great read and after that ending I immediately had to buy the second book in the series.
