I struggled toget into this book and at about the halfway mark, I set it down. May try again to get back into it.

I loved this book! It had a little bit of everything in it! I loved the suspense and the little bit of a love story! It sucked me in from the beginning and I had to know how it ended!

I had a great time reading this, the characters were great and I loved the mystery elements in the book. Karina was a great leading character and I really felt for her journey in the book.

The cover of this book grabbed my attention. The jacket synopsis made me want to read it. Karina's life has definite chapters. Her life was traumatized when she witnessed the murder of her parents. The next chapter finds her living with her family friends who provide her the training she will need when she punishes those who killed her parents. Further trauma will take her into a world where she lives to mark names off a list...a long list that never seems to get any shorter. It was a really good story line that kept the tension running right from the start. Whew, when is the next book?

Thanks so much to #NetGalley and EllenMark publications for an advanced review copy of this book prior to publication!

I enjoyed this story, I really did. The book was about Karina Navarre. It opens with her at ten years old watching her parents get brutally killed. Her parents, Carlos and Gloria Navarre are the head of the Navarre cartel. (She was hidden under the couch, where her mother told her to go.) After this tragedy she's raised by Savio, her father's best friend. He sends her away at 16 to train to become an assassin, after realizing that she is hell bent on revenge. She comes back an expert assassin and sniper. The story encompasses all of this and more, culminating in the final avenging of her parents death. Also, I feel it left room for a second book.

As I said, i truly enjoyed this story. Here's why it didn't get 4 stars: it was full of grammatical errors, run on sentences, incomplete sentences, misspelled words, etc. It was really annoying and distracting. It was almost as if the book was originally written in a different language and interpreted badly. Whatever it was, I hope it was corrected prior to publication.

I will definitely look forward to a second book if it comes, or other books by the author.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this. I will be posting a full review to Goodreads, Amazon, and Instagram.

Warning Graphic Violence: Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the ARC. My review opinion is my own. With the exception of the graphic violence which I skipped over, this is a strong thriller with a theme of vengeance and revenge. The plot is driven by the main charcters revenge over the killing of her family and she develops into a top assassin over the years. I loved her charcter development and the well crafted story. This is a page turner that will keep you up into the night..

I LOVED this book. What a great plot line for a 16 year old to have a kill list after witnessing her parents being killed when she was younger. After being sent off to learn more techniques she comes back with a bigger kill list - its insane! The twists and plot changes were nothing i saw coming. LOVED LOVED LOVED

I requested the book because the cover drew me in. The author did a good job pulling me in! Vivid imagery. And the twists and turns kept me reading nonstop.

Frances Paul did such a great job with descriptions for this book, as I could visualize every scene as I read. It is rare that an author gives the reader the ability to visualize the whole book, but somehow this author did! This book was full of twists and turns and every time that I thought I knew what was happening next, I was wrong. I highly recommend this!

This book captivated me from beginning to end. It would make a great movie or television series. Karina and her need for revenge trumps everything. I could not believe the ending! Love this book!
