It's certainly a thrill ride and plenty of insight into the characters to build the series." ~Amazon Reviewer, Nickinic – Ebooks Galore (Ep. 1 - Face Off) " Very tense and full of action. I look forward to reading more of this series." ~Amazon Reviewer, Saintly1 (Ep. 1 - Face Off) " A good read.

Quite entertaining stories. Interesting characters and quirks, develops very well and flows smoothly. I found these stories to turn out to be extremely fun to read and different for action thrillers. My only wish is that I had found them sooner in my Kindle. I recommend them highly.

Good Book

Just a good book in general. Quick read for anybody who wants one. Can't wait for book two. 5 stars.

"Not a bad way to kill time"

Two relatively short stories as a taster for the whole Assassins series. A very quick and easy read. The difference in the two 'killers for hire' makes for a fresh look at the genre. The plots are well-handled; the level of detail is impressive. I could see this series on a small screen near you in the near future. The writing style isn't from the top drawer, but the whole feel is more visual than literal. I wouldn't be surprised if viewers preferred the TV series to the book in this case.

Stories for men written by men

The authors show imagination in their assassin stories, but there's way too much f***ing going on.

Eddie, the seasoned assassin, and Liam, the impulsive young hotshot, are teamed up for these adventures. Sometimes a hit needs to look like something else, but Liam just wants to point and click.

Eddie & Liam

Two hitmen, Eddie and Liam, are sent on a job separately to kill one target without the other knowing about it. The job doesn't go as planned so a cleaner is brought in to fix the situation. After this job, the two are paired up to work together.

Very hard to put down.

Excellent reading. Found it hard to put down and came back to it every spare minute I had. Can't wait to read the next book.
