Synopsis from Goodreads:

Most people unwrap presents at Christmas—I’m busy wrapping bodies.

This year, though, my usual routine got personal. Going home for the holidays wasn’t exactly my choice, but when you’re a hitwoman with a complicated family and a past that refuses to stay buried, things tend to get... eventful.

Let’s just say some skeletons should stay buried; others demand justice. And me? I deliver it.

If you’re into thrillers spiked with snark, a touch of holiday mayhem, and a heroine who’s equal parts ruthless and relatable, Merry Little Vengeance will make your season bright—just not for those who prefer their holidays warm and fuzzy.

My Review

Marin doesn’t visit her family often, but this Christmas she’s going home. Marin is a hitwoman and her newest case is personal. This will not be your typical Christmas celebration. Marin is out for revenge and she is determined to get it.

This is a clever, intriguing short story. It’s a quick thriller which packs a punch in an exciting novella. I was taken by surprise at how much I enjoyed this.  It’s filled with dark humor and is quite twisty. Not to mention a tough main character who never backs down from a fight.

I was delighted to see this is a series of books.  The next one is Deadly Little Valentine.  I’m looking forward to reading that one and continuing with this series.
