A simple kill by Nolan King.
Emily Wyatt wants to save the world.
Or at least take some seriously bad guys down. But with a chip on her shoulder and betrayal in her past, she might be her own worst enemy.
Fresh from military life, she’s haunted by the loss of her hero father who she looked up to all her life, and is still sore from the treachery of her mentor who stabbed her in the back when she first joined the FBI.
Now Emily must put it all on the line to go undercover as an assassin to infiltrate The Outfit, a notorious international crime syndicate that has eluded law enforcement around the world.
But in this game, her targets are as likely to be law enforcement as rival criminals. Does Emily have what it takes to work her way up into the innermost circle and reveal who the big bosses are? Or will her conscience betray her too?
A slow starter but then I started to enjoy it. Emily was my favourite.  Simone grew on me. I do hope there is more of Emily. 4*.

A Simple Kill is not an easy story to read, all characters are searching for something, all are deceiving the others, everyone is lying and nobody can be trusted. It's also difficult to find the main plot reliable and in the end, the reader finds out that it was just a game of the good winning against the bad. Certainly, it's not Nolon King at his best.
I downloaded a free copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Quite an interesting book with a strong focus on relationships and trust. The relationship between the main characters is pivotal to the story but it is so annoying! The fact that the author was able to bring this to life so clearly is a testament to their ability to create characters who draw readers in.

Can see how this would appeal to other readers but was just not my cup of tea. Would recommend to others though to still give it a shot.

Emily is a trained sharp shooter for the army who wants to follow in her dead fathers footsteps. Simone is responsible for nearly sabotaging Emily’s career. When the two are paired on a covert mission, there is an issue of whether they can trust each other.

I had real trouble getting into this book. There is so much whining and bickering in the beginning between the two main characters. It’s unbelievable that two military trained women would behave this way. Then they are sent on a mission together to capture the Foreman. The ending was predictable to me. Not my favorite Nolon King book.

Thanks to the author, Sterling & Stone and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

"A Simple Kill" by Nolon King is FAST Paced book with a trifecta of interesting characters!! Between Emily, Simone and Rick who can they trust, who is hiding secrets, and who is who they say they are?? This is a quick read that will leave you guessing and questioning everyone and everything!!

💫 THANK YOU to the Author, Sterling & Stone and Netgalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an Honest Review!!

This Nolon King's book is not his best or his usual style of writing. Emily was all over the place and weak as the main character of the story. The ending was predictable. I expected a lot more from Nolon King. There was a lack of high mystery and strong leading character.

Thank you to Sterling & Stone and NetGalley for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I just don't know about this one?! This book was just kind of weird?! It was confusing at times and then at the end kind of all rushed together and I had to scratch my head and ask "what happened?!" the book had suspense, intrigue murder and mayhem, I really can't say if I enjoyed reading this book or not?! Lol I did enjoy the suspense but a lot of the book I just wasn't sure about?! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
