Nadia Stafford owns a lodge in the Canadian Wilderness, catering to hunters and outdoorsmen. When she's not working at the lodge, Nadia is a professional hitman, working for the mob to take out members that stray. Nadia is approached by her mentor Jack. There is a ruthless serial killer known as the Helter Skelter Killer (HSK). He has left bodies littering the countryside. Jack believes HSK may be a retired hitman. He wants to put together a group to take out HSK before he brings the heat of the law enforcement community on all of them. Nadia agrees to work with an unusual group of pros to bring down HSK.

If you've read Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, this is nothing like it. This book is about a woman with a dark past who makes ends meet by working is a professional hitman. Now she is joining with others of her profession to seek out and kill a serial killer. It won't be easy since this guy was a former hitman.

I found this book to be very intriguing. Nadia must be always aware of her environment, know the quickest way out of a building, know how to blend into a crowd without being seen. I loved the suspense aspect of this book; but I loved the relationships even more. These characters keep to themselves and are not big talkers. They rarely let anybody into their own space. I thought the chemistry between Nadia and Jack was palpable. I kept waiting for something between them, but knew he would not make a move while they were on the job. I look forward to the next book in this series. My rating: 4 Stars.
