This series is about Villanelle, who is a Russian assassin and Eve, who is the MI6 agent tracking her. I enjoyed the story and cat and mouse chase between the two characters. This is also a tv series now!

I was however a little disappointed by some of the story. There was a lot of unnecessary sex, women doing and saying stuff they would never and not sure I agreed with how some of the relationships played out. It might just be my bias but a man writing about women and what they would do, just didn’t come off well for some of it. Overall though I liked the spy chase aspect of the story and wanted to see how it ended!

I LOVE this show. The books are different though. I plan on reading this when I'm finished with the current season because it would just be an overload.

I really enjoyed this book. I flew through it and struggled to put it down, even to do typical activities, like making dinner. The writing felt natural and flowed beautifully. The action held my attention, but the characters are really what made this book. The complex interactions between all of the characters, especially Villanelle and Eve, who finally made the jump into ... dating!

In addition, the psychology aspect of this book was absolutely fascinating. Just reading about Villanelle; her motivation, emotions, and how she relates to other people was a revelation - she doesn't make any bones about being a psychopath, and neither does anyone else. But what I didn't see coming was the intricacy in her relationships with the people around her. I don't know how the other books are, but Villanelle becomes a three-dimensional character so easily in this book. Eve evolves a great deal in this book too. It was refreshing to see her step out of her comfort zone, regardless of the outcome. I couldn't ever really predict what was going to happen, and from what I gathered, neither did the majority of the characters.

I haven't read the previous books in the series, having had no idea that it was even a book series, but I have enjoyed the show since I stumbled upon it shortly after it premiered. The characters are cast perfectly, and I could easily see them in this book. I rarely find a book where the main characters aren't described at all, but this was one of them, and it was done so well. There's great bisexual/lesbian and non-binary representation in the story, and I am definitely planning to read the other books in the series.

Eve and Villanelle as girlfriends? Sign me up! Admittedly, I am not invested in the action/drama/whatever else and do not think it is a strong point of this book series, but I can't stop reading for the exploration of the relationship between Eve and Villanelle.
