I would have hoped that the only book to feature Evelyn Smythe would have been better. Unfortunately, this was pretty much trash from end to end. I had no idea what was happening for a solid 70% of the book, it felt like the author was trying to write something far sexier and noir than what came across, and it felt really transphobic/homophobic in its portrayal of the lesbian assassins. I felt dirty after reading it, would not recommend.
