I frequently visit a blog the author is part of and enjoy her posts, so I really wanted to enjoy this book that sounded like it would be light hearted fun read...yeah, with death.  I did not like the heroine, I can understand her quest for revenge, but her children should have come first and the hell she puts them through letting them think their dad is alive is unconscionable.  That she allows them to think another agent is their father and allow them to get attached to him was over the top.  UNACCEPTABLE.  As a single parent they depended on her and her "job" being in the way of her showing up on time and fulfilling the obligations she takes on at their school and that all falls to the wayside for her job.  Why didn't she hire a housekeeper?  She's strong in one aspect and a complete failure and wimp in others to an extreme that isn't reasonable.Sometimes I can ignore inconsistencies and put outlandish situations aside and just go along with the ride, but not here.  Her incredibly poor parenting (yes, I know this is fiction)I couldn't accept and made this a DNF for me.  The story line of an assassin single mom has great potential, but it was just unpleasant the way it developed.On the positive side, the writing flowed well and I wasn't bothered by any editing issues.
