Eve and Villanelle plan for a high-stakes showdown in this sophisticated follow-up to the spy thriller that inspired the hit TV series Killing Eve. "If you want us to remain silent -- if you want to retain your freedom, your job, and your reputation -- you need to tell us everything, and I mean everything. . ." We last saw Eve and Villanelle in a spy vs. spy race around the world, crossing powerful criminal organizations and dangerous governments, each trying to come out on top. But they aren't finished yet. In this sequel to Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle, former M16 operative Eve reveals a new side to her strengths, while coming ever closer to a confrontation with Villanelle, the evasive and skilled assassin.

I really thought I could read this series, but it's impossible. It is so dumb. Initially I gave Luke Jennings a pass. I thought that maybe he wanted to do something here, create a certain type of character, give a certain vibe to the story, but it became painfully obvious that this is one of those dreaded cases known as 'male writing female'. I was in denial while reading the first book, but I have seen the light.
There was a particular phrase in the book that I will write here word by word, same format: "She's saying I've got your measure, and compared to me you're a loser. She's saying I can give you all the things you want - the intimate, feminine, super-expensive things - but can't have. It is a woman-to-woman thing."
After reading that, Mr. Luke Jennings, what the fuck are you on?
Besides this painful fact, the book is unreadable because of one other reason: the plot is so plain and the dialogue is so stiff. While the plot has nothing clever about it, the dialogue also dumbs it down, I felt insulted.
I am grateful to Luke Jennings for coming up with the idea and inspiring the Killing Eve TV show, but this is all I can be happy about because the book series itself is trash.
This is the second of the Killing Eve trilogy (the books that inspired the AMC show). Eve Pilastri is working for MI6 trying to track down a female assassin whose codename is Villanelle. Both characters are very fun. The story moves very quickly and ends up in some surprising places. Lots of killing and kinky sex hijinks. I devoured it like candy.
