"If you love full-on pump-action reading entertainment in the form of a spy thriller then step this way."
This high-octane, energetic, and addictive spy thriller comes with a whole heap of attitude and irreverence. Within the blink of an eye, former private deep cover agent Elsa Zero finds herself the target of multiple assassins, desperate to protect her children she needs to find out who wants her dead, and why. Author M. K. Hill sets this up from the get-go as a thrills and spills read. Throw away thoughts of taking a break, this is a one-sitting read. I wondered where we were heading with Elsa and her description in the first few pages, but she becomes the most fabulous main character. She not only made me snort with laugher, I also found myself gasping and wincing with astonishment and disbelief. My advice, don’t take it too seriously and allow yourself to enjoy the wild ride. The action is non-stop, extraordinarily entertaining, and the flashbacks provided knowledge to fill in the jigsaw pieces. There were occasions where I was running to catch up, and others where I was allowed to be ahead of the game, this kept me in the moment, and no matter where I was in the plot I was glued to the pages. I would love to see more of Elsa, I need her in my life! Sharp, bold, and stimulating as heck, Zero Kill is an absolute riot of a read.

Meet Elsa Zero: Bad neighbour. Single mother. Ex-deep cover agent.
And right now, the most dangerous person on Earth.
When Elsa's dull but dedicated boyfriend proposes in a packed restaurant, she doesn't think her evening can get any worse.
But as the clock strikes midnight, her world is turned upside down. Suddenly Elsa is running for her life, trying to keep her children safe, and desperate to discover what the hell is going on.
Every intelligence agency in the world wants her dead because she's in possession of a deadly secret - she just has to stay alive long enough to figure out what it is.
But this is Elsa Zero we're talking about.
And it's a very bad idea to get on her wrong side.
Bursting with tension, twists and humour, this is a brilliantly unique action-thriller, perfect for fans of Killing Eve, Lee Child and shows like Hunted.
