Summary

Ellis

Why is it that the first attractive man to look my way mistakes me for a bad guy, stuffs me in the trunk of his car, and ships me off to an island where I’m positive the only thing waiting for me is my own murder?

I mean... yeah, Tavish is charismatic and fun, but did I mention the whole trunk thing? Oh, maybe I forgot to mention his peculiar group of friends who keep promising to “help” me, but why are they running around with masks and weapons while praising fences?

Tavish and his friends are actually the bad guys, aren’t they?

If I (somehow) look past all of that… Tavish really does seem like a nice guy. He’s caring, funny, and willing to risk his life to protect me. It’s become quite clear that if I’m going to get out of this alive, I’m not going to be able to do it without him.

Tavish

So maybe I mixed things up a wee bit and took Ellis on a tiny road trip that he might not have been privy to. Ellis doesn’t seem to overly mind. I mean, yeah, maybe he tried blinding me with aerosol spray… or maybe I was just blinded by his handsome smile.

The problem is that Ellis is in danger, but he knows nothing about this world he’s been thrown into. He’s sweet, kind, and has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. And I’m prepared to protect it at all costs.

Contains a charming man who lays on a Scottish accent to get his way, a bewildered vet tech who’s wondering why everyone around him is so strange, a parrot who may or may not want to steal Tavish’s man, and the Hitman’s Guide crew up to their usual hijinks.

Feel good fun series

Really fun listen, glad to see author didn’t slow down, dropped the quality even though it’s the 7th (!) book of the series. Here’s for many more! 🥂

Awesome

More shenanigans with Leland , Jackson and the guys .
It’s Tavish’s turn in the spotlight and he’s been hired to catch a serial killer but Ellis is no more a serial killer than The Fence is but no amount of pleading will change Tavish’s mind.

Absolutely amazing

Alice's books never fail to amaze me, especially the hitmans guide.
Always a pleasure to hear Michael's narration, the murder song at the end was quite phenomenal, pure genius, can't wait for more

Fun but flawed

As expected, this was a goofy thrill ride of ridiculous characters in impossible situations. it made me laugh a lot. Michael Ferriollo is great... mostly, at giving personality to these wacky dudes. My only bugbear is that his Scottish accent is absolutely atrocious. Maybe American listeners will think it's great as they know no better but for English and European listeners it is painful. Personally, the Tavish chapters/ monologues pulled me out of the story as I was cringing so much.
My favourite new character was the parrot!
