Book: Knife For Hire by Sage Relleanne
Reviewed by Judy Sullivan
Rating: 3/5
I loved the premise of this book. A sous chef is fired and decides to open her own private chef service: Knife for Hire. She hires someone to help set up her website, not knowing she’s now on the dark web advertising as an assassin. But hey, lets roll with it.
We have mafia family drama, the one who left the Family to be a cop, a person from the past who saved her life once-upon-a-time, and an FMC who just can’t catch a break.
Honestly, the story itself is fine! I enjoyed the world building, the interplay between characters, and the plot kept moving. Unfortunately, pretty much EVERY NAME was a food pun. From the website to the dog to even minor characters, everything had to be a play on food. It was overly distracting and really took away from the story. I had difficulty convincing myself to sit down and finish the story because the names were so bad.
Having said that, if you can handle the corny (yes, that’s on purpose) naming convention, read this book!
