I've had Asia MacKay's Killing It, on my shelf for ages and hadn't yet got round to it. As it happened, I ended up with an advanced copy of The Nursery and read that first. However, I don't feel as though I lost anything by going in the wrong order.

Lex is a mother, worrying about whether she's projecting gender stereotypes onto her daughter. She's also an assassin. A pretty good one at that. She works for Platform Eight, the lesser known part of the UKs security service. As we meet her, she's about to embark on a crucial mission. There's a leak and it needs to be stopped.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved Lex. I can not relate to her in any way shape or form but I thought she was awesome. I want her in my girl gang. As for McKay's writing - well it's brilliant. The narrative was great. It was pacey and hilarious. I cannot wait to read the prequel (even if it is back to front!)
