Status Updates From The Former Assassin's Guide...

Idk what % I'm at. Anyway. I kinda wish Jeremy was played a little straighter (err as in serious, not heterosexual) and maybe.. didn't have some convoluted gang(?) backstory? Like. Just let him be a regular dude with a bit of a stick up his ass like he was portrayed in the first few books.

Yay, Fred!!

I love Cassel. He is precious and he is everything.

Cassel: “Oh no…”
Leland: “You… shot me.”
Cassel: “It was a bump. I didn’t… I was shooting past you and then we hit the bump… you probably jerked your arm up.”
Leland: “I did what?”
Cassel: “It was an accident! And the bullet didn’t even hit you! It merely… brushed your arm.”
Leland grabs Cassel’s seat belt and proceeds to wrap it around his neck.
Leland: “I’m going to brush your neck with this seat belt.”

Cassel: "I could punch Leland if it’d make you feel better?”
Jeremy: "Yes."
Cassel slaps Leland without missing a beat.
Jeremy: "Sorry… I was… saying yes to needing something, not the…”
Cassel: Fuuuuuuuuck.

🤣🤣🤣

Knew it!

Hmmmm.... Amelia is clearly hiding something...

Henry's dry sarcasm is 👌👌

Ohhhh! I didn’t see this twist coming! 😁

I can’t wait for Jeremy to realize how much of a badass Cassel is! 😅

Awww... Jeremy thinks Cassel is innocent and pure. 😂😂

I feel this would be a good opening for Jeremy's POV.
Poor him, he has no idea what's waiting for him with this crazy group. 😅

I decided to use my monthly credit on Audible to buy this audiobook and finally read (or rather hear) Cassel's story!

I'm loving this audio!

Listening to the audio and it's fabulous

Only starting chapter 3 and I've already been laughing uncontrollably. Promising, very promising.

Michael Ferra.... whatever! .... is sooooooo good...!!!!!
He is hands down my favorite narrator <3

Yes, I'm enjoying this on Audible ;)

I needed a comfort listen and this is hitting the spot

Audio time

Oooohh. So he didn’t kill him. Ace did. That makes more sense. So… I’m not sure why all the angst then. Will he take the blame himself or what? Is he hesitating to rat out Ace?

I was starting to wonder if it was a plot hole that Cassel wasn’t angsting over not telling Jeremy that he was the one who killed his father. But I guess he just put it out of his mind until Emilia talked to him as it it.

Alice Winters has cemented herself as one of my top 5 writers. She is brilliant!

Pretty close to DNFing… it’s boring and there is no connection between the MC’s.

Not feeling any connection between the MC’s yet and I’m a little disappointed.

“Did you see that?” I ask as I look into Leland’s eyes. “His ass in your face? I sure did. Why didn’t you smack that ass?” Leland asks, miming it again. “He touched me,” I say dreamily.

Mediocre

I want to like this but the chemistry between the main leads is barely there.

*snort* [It's time to go!...]

Leland jabs a finger at us. “I’m out there looking for your asses, worried something horribly grotesque and bloody has happened to both of you, and instead, you’re in here just fornicating?”

*snort* [Truelove...]

Cassel: Leland, how did you get Jackson to fall in love with you?

Leland: I flirted with him.

Jackson: He shot at me.

Leland: Yeah, that’s called flirting.

Jackson: That’s called attempted murder.

Leland: OMG don’t be so dramatic. It was a couple little pewpews sent your way. You lived.

*snort* [True, anything *without* Bella, TYVFM...]

Leland: The origin of The Fence… one night, in the deadness of dark I saw a man… a lone man climbing over a grand fence. Suddenly, his pants got stuck as he was climbing over and his ass was on display for all to see. And that’s how I met Jackson. Better love story than Twilight.
