Other Available Formats
Overview
From dark romance sensation Effie Campbell comes a brand new stabby and seductive rom-com with contract killers, enemies to lovers, a crow companion and more For fans of Lights Out by Navessa Allen and Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver!
Those who slay together... Stay together.
Eliza Hamilton is a killer with a body count, a filthy mouth and absolutely no patience for the men on the Death Council - a secret organisation of elite contract killers - who think she's too young, and too female, to rule them.
She'll prove them wrong. Right after she figures out who's sabotaging her kills.
Her targets keep turning up dead before she can get to them, damaging her reputation and making her look incompetent. And Eliza is many things, but incompetent isn't one of them.
Her prime suspect? Her infuriatingly gorgeous new stepbrother, James Rutherford: Eliza's biggest rival, professional pain in her arse and one of the few killers alive skilled enough to beat her to a target.
But when a far deadlier threat emerges, Eliza and James are forced to do the unthinkable: work together.
Between the arguments, the competition and their shared enthusiasm for creative homicide, Eliza is starting to suspect there may be something even more dangerous between them than an enemy coming for the Death Council...
After all, there's a fine line between wanting to kill someone...
...and wanting to kiss them.
