Assassins Anonymous
ByPublisher Description
“The best kind of thriller. . . . Suspenseful, sentimental, and ultimately redemptive, Assassins Anonymous is a can’t-miss novel.” — S. A. Cosby, author of All the Sinners Bleed
In this clever, surprising, page-turner, the world’s most lethal assassin gives up the violent life only to find himself under siege by mysterious assailants. It’s a kill-or-be-killed situation, but the first option is off the table. What’s a reformed hit man to do?
Mark was the most dangerous killer-for-hire in the world. But after learning the hard way that his life’s work made him more monster than man, he left all of that behind, and joined a twelve-step group for reformed killers.
When Mark is viciously attacked by an unknown assailant, he is forced on the run. From New York to Singapore to London, he chases after clues while dodging attacks and trying to solve the puzzle of who’s after him. All without killing anyone. Or getting killed himself. For an assassin, Mark learns, nonviolence is a real hassle.

“Started off with a bang, lulled for a bit then towards the end got real ‘Jason Bourne’. I like a more high speed book if you will but if you don’t mind the story slowing down a bit then picking up towards the end, then I think you’ll like it.
However, I had to audibly ask while reading this…Is the author…okay? Some of these descriptions of how people died are a bit…much lol I get that we need to understand what’s happening and the MC’s mental state but sheeesh 😂 if you’re even a little squeamish maybe this isn’t the read for you 🥴
The…uh…“checking each other” scene was unnecessary. Like…you’re a trained killer and you know you got rid of all traceable things. Why would you think to look…there ??? 🤮 hard pass on that.
The ‘almost at the end’ twist I partially figured out early on but the twist at the VERY end I did not see coming! I appreciate a good end of the book shocker lol makes the trip worth while.
The reason for the MC quitting his assassin job was so sad! I was not expecting that…I really wanted some sort of reconciliation but…I get it 🥺
*Trying to keep things spoiler free* The second to last death at the end - NOOOOO 🫨 That actually hurt me!
But the ‘fake out’…I was actually upset I felt sad when I got to the end twist! How dare the author make me feel things !!!
All in all an okay read. It’d make for a killer movie (see what I did there 😉). If you like a bit of action and you’re not that squeamish I’d say give it a read. This is a ‘sure I’ll give it a try’ type of read. Do with that what you will.
TW: strong language, detailed descriptions of death/murder, pervasive violence, feels that you may have to un-feel then re-feel, no spice but like…a reallly weird scene”
