When foul-mouthed sociopath Cassie McKinnon kills the wrong man, her world quickly comes apart. As a young assassin busy establishing herself as "Void", her methods are novel, but what makes her truly unique is her invisibility to anyone but her family. The routine murder of an executive leads to a deadly chain of events which has Cassie crossing continents; dodging bullets, explosions, and fatal kidnappings; torturing a drug lord, and rescuing victims in a desperate hunt to track down a killer even worse than herself. This is the first Void novel, a mix of thriller, mystery, and a touch of magical realism.
Code Name VOID, a debut thriller by Connie Hansen, is wickedly good fun. It has one of the best hooks, bar none, that I have ever seen in a thriller - one SO good that it irks me that I didn't think of it first. Cassie McKinnon is invisible to virtually all of the population, a trait that makes her an excellent assassin, even if her pesky conscience leads her places even she shouldn't go. Half the fun of the novel comes from the very practical issues Cassie comes up against in her invisibility; many of us at one time or other have dreamed of being invisible, but few of us have considered the ramifications of it, such as how do you buy food when no one can see you? Possessing break-neck pacing, and Cassie's own bawdy profanity-laced humor, I did not want to put this thriller down. Now that it's done, I can't wait to see what happens next for this character.
Great Book, a must read. Could not put this book down. Fortunately a friend of mine suggested this book because she knows the author. $2.99 later on kindle and I had one of the best books I've read in a LONG time. Love the premise of an assassin who can't be seen, LOVE THIS BOOK. So looking forward to this author's next book! Can't say enough good things about this book.
