I'm so glad I decided to reread this on a whim. I read it in one sitting, it's so addicting and fun! I have to keep repeating to myself that I'm NOT going to pick up Reviving Izabel tomorrow and that I should stick to my reading plan so if you see me reviewing that book tomorrow - no you didn't. Definitely holds up and it's just as good as I remember it. Not everything makes sense but quite frankly, I don't care.

I have read this book before, and I was very happy to find it again. Killing Sarai is the first book I've ever read that featured an assassin as a main character. Perhaps that is why it holds a special place for me.

I remember reading it the first time I loved it and would've given it five stars instantly, but rereading it has allowed me to notice a few little flaws. Overall, this series is still one of my favorites. I like how the writer showed a bit of what happens emotionally to victims of sex trafficking and how difficult it can be to adjust to a "normal" life and move on. I didn't find it too unrealistic and I can understand the confusing roller coaster of Sarai's emotions. I won't spoil the rest of the series too much, but I will say that

there will be more portraits of abuse victims later on that show the opposite version of Sarai.
