About this listen

Jackson

Now that Leland’s decided to give up his life as a hitman and take a walk on the mild side, we’ve been enjoying a simple life of taking down bad guys the legal way. I didn’t know he would be just as reckless as a PI, but it’s not my fault if I happen to enjoy helping him hunt down the occasional criminal. If only I could keep the house from being overrun by Leland’s gun shrine - or stop him from making our cases “more exciting” by terrorizing people into confessing. Overall, life seems perfect, right?

Wrong.

We’ve been called in to investigate a suspicious murder committed by someone claiming to be the Sandman. When we find a note on the victim’s body, we realize that this could ruin our lives forever.

Leland:

I wasn’t involved in the murder. It might look like my writing and my note, but I wouldn’t do that to Jackson -especially after I promised him that I wouldn’t take a hit ever again. At least, not without telling him. I’m finally starting to learn that we’re stronger together, and I’m not going to jeopardize that.

Luckily for both of us, this copycat doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. Game’s on, fake Sandman. You think you can mess with me? Well, maybe you can, but that’s beside the point, because I will protect Jackson no matter what, even if I almost drown him in the process. (Really, that wasn’t my fault. He should learn how to swim better.)

This audiobook contains: Disco ball piñata, camping with Sasquatch, an acrobatic housekeeper named “Mr. Cleanyface”, a questionable massage table, weapons everywhere, Jackson’s nemesis - the fence, a turkey showdown, aerial silk antics, a reappearance of Blow-up Randy, over-the-top body armor, too many hitmen, and so many emotions that Leland’s chest might explode. This is the second book in a series - while you could listen and enjoy it on its own, you really should listen to The Hitman’s Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love for maximum enjoyment.

Funny

This had me laughing out loud. I wish it didn't have to end. I was so excited to heels more and know how it was going to end. When it finally ended I was sad it was over. These two books are why I got into the author Alice winters. Love her work.

Miss Winters is always a pleasure to listen to

Alice Winters by far is my favorite author. She delivers and adrenaline shot of tear jerking belly aches that will downright crack up the agelast. I would so love to converse with her brain!

whether you read or listen to this. It is a delight and here we go... No matter what I say, this review will not do the book Justice.It has a plethora of advice on relationship, communication, humor, and spice in an ass backwards viewpoint of morals, Choose to take it as a message or just for enjoyment. It can go either way. And a curtsy with flourish for Mr Michael Ferraiuolo (narrator).

personal opinion: I give it a Shiva 12 thumbs up review
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

excellent!

Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Did I feel an emotional connection to the characters: yes
Would I listen to it again: yes

• Story is entertaining, dialog amusing and characters likeable. If you go into this book expecting general silliness and nothing particularly deep you won't be disappointed.
• Michael Ferraiuolo does a fantastic job on the narration, his sweet, snarky always enthusiastic Leland is spot on and Jackson comes across as perfectly wrapped around Leland's little finger. 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing!

I never wanted this book to end! I loved every single word from beginning to end. It is impossible to explain what is so phenomenal about this book, you have to experience it for yourself. Alice Winters has created one of my favorite characters ever in Leland...I am completely in love with a Hitman! This had everything I wanted and more...humor, snark, wit, charm, emotion, epic storytelling... it was exceptional! Jackson and Leland are back with their friends from the first book as well as some new characters that were a wonderful addition, especially Castle who i hope gets his own book one day.
I cannot imagine anyone but Michael Farriaoulo narrating this story. He just is Leland and Jackson. He adds so much to the story with the way he interprets and narrates this book. He brings the inflections, the feelings and the humor front and center. I laughed out loud, I kept going back and reslistening to parts, I will immediately listen to this again. Everyone needs to experience this audiobook!

Hilarious and exciting

Another amazing adventure. Leland is a joy and Jackson is the perfect partner for him. Really enjoyed how the relationship developed and the way the stakes escalated through the book. Castle was a fun addition to the cast. and Leland's developing trust with Ava and Henry was fun to see too. Loved it.

A wonderful follow up

I fell in love with the first and now there’s this. I love every moment and new characters! No lag or a boring part in this book. Michael did wonderfully in bringing, once again, these awesome character to life.
