Good series
Love this series. Good characters and situations. funny and quick moving. No long, drawn-out inter-monologs but quick conversational style. Love it.

Another perfect comedy
This book was hilarious. I had no doubt this book would be great. Alice's brand of humor really makes for an excellent read for me. I just can't get enough of Leland, Jackson, Cassel, Jeremy, and the lot. I adore Ellis. He might be a new favorite character for me. The way he was unerringly polite and no one knew what to make of it had me rolling with laughter. I also loved how absolutely clueless and funny Tavish was when speaking to Ellis. I couldn't help but think while reading this that I CANNOT wait for the audiobook. Michael is absolutely going to make this book 20 times better than it already is. I'm so happy and also so sad because I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again. 10/10 would recommend if you like a funny book. Also please be careful if you plan to eat or drink while reading this. You might choke on the hilarity.

Wow. Ellis is the best.
I definitely never expected to like any characters more than Leland and Jackson, but I just absolutely adore Ellis. When reading Cassel and Jeremy’s book, one of the main complaints is that their voice is almost indistinguishable from Leland and Jackson. It’s just the way that Alice writes and so I kind of assumed again that Tavish would sound like Leland/Cassel and Ellis would sound like Jackson/Jeremy. Not so!! They actually both have a refreshingly unique voice. Ellis especially has a personality unlike anyone else in this series.We’ve seen plenty of nice and normal characters, but every last one of them is still confused, horrified, or annoyed by Leland. Ellis is so dang nice that he’s the first person to actually LIKE Leland without being even a tiny bit sarcastic by it. And by the end, Leland actually even speaks to Ellis like a normal Al, caring person instead of how odd he usually is when interacting with anyone.It’s so refreshing to see a character who isn’t remotely part of this world interact with all of our good “bad” guys. At the beginning they just have no idea what to do with him. I love that the gang is all here - except for Mason. Even Micah and Everly join in on the fun a few times.I really enjoyed the interactions and the banter, but once again the mystery part of it was convoluted. Like the previous book in the series, I just felt the case they were trying to solve was confusing and unbelievable. The only good mysteries in these books have been the ones having to do with Lucas and Leland’s past. Well, scratch that. The last book had that and I still didn’t like that mystery. Oh well. That’s not why we read these books, right? It’s to be entertained. And I felt like this installment was less repetitive since it focused on new characters it still familiar enough to fit right in with the rest of the series.

My Favorite Couple Yet!
From chapter 1 to the very end, I laughed out loud. Ellis is so sweet and innocent, the rest of the gang is not… the mix of the two is hilarious.

Tavish Gets His Story!
I was so happy Tavish got his HEA. He and Ellis are so cute together! Poor Ellis is just an average guy who gets pulled into the gang's mischief and mayhem. He doesn't know up from down half the time, and just goes along with the crazy while the gang tries to figure out what's going on in an effort to save him in the most ridiculous ways imaginable. Tavish and Ellis's book is just as heartfelt, action paced, and hilarious as the rest of the books in the series. Loved it from start to finish!

Excellent!
Just when I think this series can't possibly possibly get any better, along comes Tavish and Ellis to prove me wrong. I was hooked from page 1 and instantly adored Ellis. We start right off with the action, once again wonderfully woven together with hilarity, familiar faces we adore, the perfect amount of romance, and an intriguing mystery. I laughed out loud so many times, I flipped page after page captivated by the plot twists and turns, and I smiled at how adorable Ellis was as he embraced Tavish and his merry band of found family. I loved that we got a few chapters from Leland's POV, just the perfect amount to see more growth and emotion from him. The whole gang is back and just as fabulous as ever, but it did not overwhelm the sweet romance between Ellis and Tavish. It struck the perfect balance! I hope the author continues to bring us more from this world!

This is a trainwreck I couldn't stop looking at
The title says it all. I am flabbergasted. What did I just read ? It was a fever dream that's for sure.It was not bad but definitely not what I had anticipated. I didn't understand half the things that were going on, I felt a bit like Ellis, hanging on for dear life, to a story that was a full speed trainwreck. But it was nicely written and intriguing enough for me to keep reading. I don't know if I want to recommend it or not, but this isn't your typical romance book.

Always a pleasure!
Another fabulous, funny book in my favourite series. Alice Winters keeps the laughs and the action running fast. I hope this cast of characters is around for a long time.

Bonne histoire
Comme à chaque tome, c'est drôle, mème si les sujets abordés peuvent être difficiles.Ellis est inquiet et horrifié par tout ce qui se passe. Je finissais par croire que tout le monde trouvait l'univers des tueurs à gage normal. Enfin un personnage qui agit "normalement "J'ai ri à certains moments.J'attends l'histoire avec Everly.

Amazing!
A brilliant book for a brilliant series.So funny, sweet and interesting as always. I don't know how Alice juggles so many characters but she did an amazing job at giving them all their own personalities and love seeing them all interact in group settings 🤣

Always the fun mayhem
It's an absolute pleasure to read this series and relive the characters through story after story. The fun is always unlimited in Alice's books so you can laugh to your heart's content. It's a must read series, you can't not love Leland ❤

Fantastic
Poor Ellis! I spent the first part of this story feeling so sorry for him. He's so sweet & innocent. Tavish messed up, but spends the remainder making it right. With the hilarious, ridiculous & supremely superior help of Leland and the gang they help bring in the bad guys, find the answers to Ellis's questions and have a ridiculous amount of fun whilst doing it. Tavish finding love with Ellis adds another mismatched, but totally right for each other couple to this crazy family of Hitmen. This book is a fabulous addition to the Hitman series.
