Description
A Russian orphan, saved from the death penalty for the brutal revenge she took on her gangster father's killers.
Ruthlessly trained. Given a new life. New names, new faces - whichever fits.
Her paymasters call themselves The Twelve. But she knows nothing of them. Konstantin is the man who saved her, and the one she answers to.
She is Villanelle. Without conscience. Without guilt. Without weakness.
Eve Polastri is the woman who hunts her. MI5, until one error of judgment costs her everything.
Until stopping a ruthless assassin becomes more than her job. It becomes personal.
Originally published as ebook singles: Codename Villanelle, Hollowpoint, Shanghai and Odessa.

“Were you very busy?” - “Yes, work’s always murder.” It took me some time to get into Killing Eve, but even months later, I still can’t stop thinking about this show, which is why I decided to read the books. The book started strong, but after some time, I lost interested. I don’t even know why. I loved that it focused on Villanelle and her backstory. At first, I preferred her story to Eve’s, but this changed somewhere in the middle of the book. I’m still not entirely sure what to make of the author’s writing. I loved the humour of the show, which is absent in the novel. It’s quite different from the TV show and I really hope Eve and Villanelle finally meet in the second book. At least, Villanelle is still the badass bisexual assassin who fans of the show love. To be honest, I didn’t really understand everything (mainly the connections between all the organisations as well as everything about the weapons/guns Villanelle used) which is also a reason why I didn’t really enjoy the book. Interestingly enough, the adaptation is better. Maybe it’s because I don’t really enjoy reading thrillers. However, I will continue with the second book because I just can’t get enough of Eve and Villanelle.
