KILL A SPY

 



SYNOPSIS

The house of killers always had one objective: to train a class of warriors that would elevate the Network from the national to the international – the amateur to the elite. It was the perfect poison… Radicalisation by virtue of not knowing any different.

They never expected their most notorious child to claw his way back to the beating heart of MI5. Consumed by hurt and rage, Michael Kensington has his own objective: Neva.

But as the body count rises like a tide that will sweep them all into oblivion, Neva will stop at nothing to make him understand that everything is at stake.

Because there’s only one way to push back against the tide… Together.

REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kill a spy is the third and last installment in “The House of Killers” trilogy and OMG, what a finale! Michael and Neva’s story got a perfect closing but also left the door open to maybe meet them back in a few years. I would love to know how their lives are going!

This is not the kind of series where you can read each book as a stand-alone. Here is imperative to read them all in order, and if you read them close in time even better, as it’s a really intricate story with lots of details and plots being referenced throughout the three books that you won’t be able to truly appreciate unless you read the whole series. It’s a tremendously entertaining spy story so it would make for some great binge reading.

I love spy stories where you know you can’t trust anyone cause everyone could be a mole or a double agent and when that results in some OMG moments once they’re revealed.

The story picks up right where book 2 finished so it starts already on a high and the pace doesn’t slow down at all until the very end. I became so engrossed I read it almost in one sitting (and that’s quite a feat for me especially because I read it while on vacation and I barely have time to read then).

I loved all the glimpses into the past that helped us understand the current events and, most of all, Neva’s past and present. We already knew about Michael but she was still a bit of an enigma.

There were some graphic descriptions so maybe proceed with caution those faint of heart.

All in all, a fantastic trilogy where you can see the story play out in your mind as if you were watching a movie.

After a domestic suspense and a spy story I can’t wait to see what Samantha Lee Howe comes out with next.

Thanks to NetGalley and One More Chapter for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
