About this book
- [x]
Kill or…well, there is no second option. It’s just kill.
I can’t really remember the last time I didn’t have my knife inside someone’s throat, chest, or dick. Five years? Ten years?
Sometimes, I feel like a superhero. Other times (most times), I just feel crazy.
Everything changes when three sexy-as-sin thieves infiltrate the convent I’ve been staying in. They believe us to be nothing but pious, innocent nuns, but they’ll find out the truth soon enough.
Gavriel, a jaguar with a sexy British accent. He’s posh, elegant…and also the best conman in the world.
Kincade, a hyena with a chip on his shoulder. He’s broken, jaded, and likes to threaten me with stabbing. Doesn’t he know I’m into that sort of stuff?
And Alec, a penguin who prefers to hide away in the van than face the violence head on. He’s the smartest man I know, but also the most talkative one.
Add on to all of that my stalker, aka the Fart, aka the silent but deadly man who may or may not be a part of the Mexican cartel. And who may or may not be sexy as sin. And who may or may not hold just as much darkness inside of him as I do.
The five of us? We have one mission—destroy a man named Phineas Graves before he can destroy us.
Four criminals. One bad guy.
And one batshit crazy assassin (hi!).
What could possibly go wrong?
Sometimes, you just have to be as ruthless as a cheetah.

I cannot express how much fun I had reading this absolutely wonderful story! I found myself laughing out loud a lot, that's not to say that there weren't serious and heart wrenching moments, but the dialogue with Tessah and whoever she was dealing with could have you falling on the floor from laughing so hard. It was awesome. Great characters and an interesting storyline will keep you reading, but the laughter will keep you up way past the time you should be sleeping😉 ) 2 people found this...

This book is a standalone in The Society of Shifters. This shared world series can be read in any order. I was hooked right from the start and completely drawn in. The characters are wonderful and really like the unique shifters. Tessah is a great fmc , she is tough, funny and just a little bit crazy. I loved her men and how they ate good for her in different ways. I really liked that the story is told in multiple point of views. While the story is mostly a romantic comedy there are things that...

So, I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh and hot so much! An absolutely hilarious and steamy read. Tessah very much gives of Harley Quinn and Brooklyn vibes and I am here for it! A great plot with great characters, you get a great time even more so if you like morally challenged, dark, and sinfully yummy so curl up and be prepared to binge on Tessah and her mates. )

If I wasn’t amused I would rate this lower. One thing that bothered me was all the Gdamnimg. I felt like every sentence out of everyone’s mouth had it at least once. It was over used and kinda annoying. That dropped my rating down because not so much cursing but because it was wayyy to much to be used in every sentence. This book amused me with its crazy. I found myself smiling, so it was a light read. All the characters kinda seemed to have almost the same personalities, except for Hector (...
