Story
Hazel and Fox are an ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they're murderers. Well, they used to be. They had it all. An enviable London lifestyle, five-star travels, and plenty of bad men to rid from the world. Then Hazel got pregnant. Now, they’re just another mom-and-dad-and-baby. They gave up vigilante justice for life in the suburbs: arranged play dates instead of body disposals, diapers over daggers, mommy conversations instead of the sweet seduction right before a kill. And Hazel finds her new life terribly dull.

Screens, Sanity, and Laughs
As a parent battling the endless screen time war, this book was a breath of fresh air. The advice felt relatable, like chatting with a friend who "gets it". It gave me realistic strategies without the guilt trip and even had me laughing along the way. I actually tried one tip about managing screen time during dinner, and guess what? It worked without tears (mine or theirs)! Definitely worth a read if you want practical help and a good chuckle.

A Fun Take on a Modern Parenting Dilemma
This book blends humor and practicality in a way that makes tackling screen time feel less overwhelming. I appreciated how relatable the anecdotes were—at times, I felt like the author had been eavesdropping on my own family’s struggles! The tips are straightforward, with just enough flexibility to adapt to different parenting styles. That said, some advice leaned a bit too general, and I would’ve liked more concrete examples for older kids. Overall, it’s a lighthearted and engaging read that doesn’t make you feel judged.

Relatable and Practical with a Fun Twist
This audiobook takes the stress out of managing screen time and turns it into something you can actually laugh about. The strategies are easy to follow, and I loved how it offered ideas for offline activities that are actually fun for kids (and not just wishful thinking). The section on raising respectful "digital citizens" was especially helpful—it gave me simple ways to talk about online behavior without sounding preachy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing the screen-time battle, this is a great resource to help you regain balance without losing your mind.
