4.5/5 ?????

“My name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered, "and I will not be afraid.”

Re-read before reading the sequel which just came out. Women assassins taking out terrible people, including Nazis, seems like an appropriate read for the current times.

Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell series has humor and lively, wonderfully singular characters. Killers of a Certain Age has very bland characters. Female assassins who have aged-out of their jobs at the "museum" fighting against an unknown enemy with an elite force at its disposal. What a great plot. Alas, it was boring. The time skips could have been used in such a way as to make the story more complex; however, mostly they were just tedious.

KathyWheeler I always find it interesting how different people react to books. I didn‘t really love what I read of the Veronica Speedwell books at all, but I loved this one. I did find one character, Valerie — I think — unnecessary, as I couldn‘t even remember that she existed let alone remember her name. 3w
Nebklvr @KathyWheeler I know!! I read the other comments and I am an outsider on this one! 3w

I read a lot of great books in January, but Hotel Lucky Seven delivered a sharply comedic and thrilling ride 🐞 I have some great books lined up for February.

If you want a fun, fast read and are over a “certain age”, read this one! I‘m determined to keep with these ladies….

TiredLibrarian We just discussed this in my book club and it was a unanimous thumbs up! A lot of fun and some serious messages about ageism. 2mo

I‘m late to the party, but HOLY HELL this was a fun ride! And not just because I‘m a reader of a certain age.

Finished this and immediately put my name on the library waitlist for book 2, which comes out in March.

DogMomIrene Didn‘t know there was a sequel! Investigating now😊🕵🏻 3mo
DogMomIrene @Amiable Oh I see! Sadly, it‘s not listed in Libby for either Vancouver Island or PEI. And when I search for it in PEI‘s system, it brings up a book about birds 😂 Checked an author search too. Not pre-ordered yet😮‍💨 Will keep checking though! 🤞🏼🙌🏼 3mo
Suet624 I‘ve got this stacked already but your review would have done it. Sounds great. 2mo

Ladybug is back! 🐞 What should have been a simple delivery job has turned into a crazy fight for survival in a hotel crawling with assassins. I was so happy to have another ensemble cast of hitmen with wacky names like Cola and Soda. The twists at the end were so fun with a few I didn‘t see coming. I didn‘t love this group as much as previous books, but it definitely left me craving more from Isaka‘s quirky Japanese underworld.

julesG The moment I read Pillow and Blanket I knew this was going to be a fun ride. 3mo
Lunakay I enjoyed it too, especially Coco, the underworld granny! 3mo
AlaMich I loved Bullet Train and need to get to book 2. I think ? (edited) 3mo

RosePressedPages @julesG I immediately started giggling when their names came up! And it only got better from there 😆 3mo
RosePressedPages @Lunakay I loved her too! She was the calm in the storm for sure lol. 3mo
RosePressedPages @AlaMich Three Assassins is like the prequel! I think of all of these books as standalones with some overlap so you can read them in whatever order :) Suzuki from Bullet Train is the main character of (edited) 3mo
