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.
