Murder Mittens by R.J. Blain


 










3.5 Star/4 Star

It wasn’t the smartest thing in the world for Harri to decide to become a bounty hunter in her spare time.  She does it to keep her lynx happy as well as make money to remove the scars from her face.  The CDC decides that she needs a handler, so they toss her Sebastian Sumners, the lion she likes to annoy.  Now if only she could keep her overprotective family from finding out about her side hussle her life would be perfect.

This book was ok.  It started off really slowly and about the halfway mark it finally picked up.  The first half of the book was a lot of back and forth between her and her family.  Her family wants to spoil her so with a new car, phone, and whatever else they feel she’s missing.  I’ve noticed in the last couple of R.J. Blain’s books she does a lot of shopping and goes into detail every item purchased and why it was needed.  I don’t care about any of that.  I want the story not a shopping trip.  When the book finally picked up it was a fairly good book, and it reminds me why I started reading her books to begin with.  However, the bigger issue I had was the bad guy she was supposed to be hunting was just kind of oh look he’s here, he’s taken her, and he’s dead, the end.  There was so much build up about how bad this guy was and then it was over and done with before you could even blink.  What was the point of that being the main part of the story?  Overall, this has led me to be unsure what the best rating for the book should be.
