ninetalevixen 's review for:
The Assassin Game
by Kirsty McKay
Like 3.5 stars? I liked it pretty well, but it wasn't really spectacular.
Particularly in the beginning, Cate sounded a little too self-aware: telling instead of showing how she and others were feeling. Not sure if it got better later on or if I just stopped noticing as the plot got more complex. In any case, it was a little off-putting but definitely not the worst I've seen.
I had a feeling Alex was the attempted-murderer; both his motives were explicitly stated in the beginning, and it's not exactly a groundbreaking plot progression. Didn't see the killing and framing Vaughan and Cate part coming, though, and it made for a pretty exciting climax.
The ending scene movie date ("Watching you" scare) was a nice touch, the trauma and fear that doesn't go away even after the bad guy's caught and you should be safe but don't feel that way.
