This book had great potential. It is essentially the story of two ruthless female killers. Kim is an internet sensation who stars in YouTube videos for homemakers. (Pretty weird, I know). Melody is a hired assassin. Both women do illegal things for the financial gain that it brings them. The story offered lots of action and several twists and turns. On the plus side, it is an easy read with many short chapters. It is a great book to entertain you on a subway ride or during jury duty etc.
Here is the problem though.....its completely forgettable. It is the type of book that you finish, put down, and never think about again. Good books resonate with you for weeks and the truly great ones resonate for years. The problem is that the character development was weak. They all felt like superficial cut outs of people and I didn't care about any of them. The ending also was abrupt and unsatisfying. The truth is that I probably wouldn't have finished it if I hadn't felt obligated to write a review in exchange for the copy of the book.
