Review: Such a fun book! Witty, with a bit of sass!

I snagged a copy of this book when it was offered as a freebie last week (I think, my days run together fairly often) because the cover was cute and who wouldn't want to read a chick-lit Assassin novel? I've also noticed the author Heidi Hall around on Kindle Boards and the like, and she's a Doll. Besides, what did I have to lose? The book was free after all.So glad I downloaded it. Flirting With Death has a fairly unique plot (at least I've never seen one like it) and the writing was concise, fun and even a tad snarky. I just love me a good dose of Snark!Compelling supporting characters gave bad-girl-turned-good-girl Kayla a lot to keep her busy while she tries to figure out how to live a "normal" life, who exactly tried to kill her, and why that earned her a one-way ticket out of the CIA. In the middle of all that, Kayla finds some time to right a few local wrongs, even if it means turning her kitchen into a temporary kennel. Who says assassins can't have a heart of gold, even if it's a little tarnished?Flirting with Death is no longer free, but at $3.99 it's still a Fab bargain. And right now it's also ranked in the Top 20 of multiple categories on Amazon- so clearly I'm not the only one who loved it!
