March 2024 Reading Recap
Well, this is quite delayed, as we’re now more than a full week into April. BUT. It was delayed for good reasons!
First, I GOT A NEW JOB 🙌 I was laid off in January and have spent the whole first quarter of the year job searching, and I’m so excited about this new role. It’s with a company I’ve admired for a while doing really amazing work in precision medicine for oncology. I started it this…

REVIEW
How the Hitman Stole Christmas by Katie Reus
Holiday with a Hitman #1
Over the top but fun with a dash of steamy romance that was a romp and a half in spite of being a stalker-ish, killer-y, hitman love story.
What I liked:
* I am sitting here smiling after finishing the book
* Elliana: grumpy, anti-Christmas, ex-Marine, wealthy, explosives expert in the security business who keeps a CLOSE EYE on her neighbor using drone and binoculars
* Theo: upbeat hitman, in a family of hitters, ex-navy, knows that Elliana is the perfect woman for him, protective, lethal, a bit of an exhibitionist
* The chemistry and dynamics between Theo and Elliana
* Theo’s family and how close they are while also being willing to welcome Elliana
* That the man who put the hit out on Elliana was rather easily found, as were the people he employed, and all were dealt with
* That there was murder but nothing graphic
* That it was a fun way to escape for awhile
* That it was quick and complete in the pages with the possibility of more in the series at some point in the future
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Wondering if a person would REALLY put a hit out on someone like Elliana for the reason the person did in this story
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and KR Press LLC for the ARC – This is my honest review.
3-4 Stars
BLURB
Tis the season for a grumpy-sunshine romance with a side of murder and mayhem!
She hates Christmas and everything that goes with it…
Explosives expert Elliana hates Christmas—and the only good thing about this holiday season is that her gorgeous neighbor seems allergic to shirts and clothes in general. She knows because she’s been watching him for months with her drone. She’s never stalked anyone before, but he not only doesn’t seem to mind, he puts on nightly strip shows just for her. When she finally works up the courage to talk to him, she stumbles right into a murder—that he’s committed.
But this holiday is one she’ll never forget…
According to Theo, the whole murder thing is no big deal—the dead guy needed killing. And while her hot neighbor wants her, protecting her is his main priority. So when she’s targeted, this cinnamon roll hitman kidnaps her for her own good. With a deadly threat hunting them and a hot hitman who keeps handcuffing her to him “for her own protection”, Elliana is starting to reconsider her grinchy stance on the holidays. And when everything finally comes to a head, the results are bound to be…explosive.

I recently read a lot of silly fantasy/ romcom books so here are a couple I have enjoyed quite a bit:
- Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross (Werewolf x Witch, not a literary masterpiece but it was fun to read! also part 1 of a larger series but with different protagonists, also contains smut)
- Masters of Death by Olivia Blake (immortal creatures gambling against each other, it’s set in modern times, writing style gives me slight Neil Gaiman vibes, romance/ flirting involved but not the main theme, lots of twists & turns & a murder mystery too)
- and also read the mead mishaps series by Kimberly Lemming (black protagonists, contains smut, the storyline itself is a bit flat, but her writing style is super funny, most of books are quite short 200-300pages, read them just for funnsies to get my mind off the horrors)
