3 posts | 5 read | 2 reading | 1 to read
Professional assassin John Lago faces off against his deadliest adversary yethis wifein Hostile Takeover, the exciting sequel to Shane Kuhns bestselling debut The Interns Handbook, which the New York Post called a sexy, darkly comic thriller. At the end of The Interns Handbook, John tracks down his nemesis Alice but instead of putting a bullet in her head, he puts a ring on her finger and marries her. Together, they execute a hostile takeover of Human Resources, Inc., the placement agency that trains young assassins to infiltrate corporations disguised as interns and knock off high profile targets. As HRs former top operatives, they are successful until conflicting management styles cause an ugly breakup that locks John out of the bedroom and the boardroom. But when Alice takes on a new HR target, John is forced to return to the office battlefield in a role he swore he would never play again: the intern. What starts out as a deadly showdown turns into the two of them fighting side by side to save HR, Inc.and their marriage. Those who like Dexter will love John Lago (Booklist), and in Shane Kuhns sequel to The Interns Handbook, readers will be rooting for this smart, witty antihero to come out on top.

I‘m hoping to finish this over the weekend - so far I don‘t love it as much as the first one, which was a really great wild ride, but I‘m going to push through. While I get reading, #Chloe is weirdly snuggling the alligator lamp (he is real and vintage 1920-ish with the original bulb, so we never actually use him) #catsoflitsy #tuxedokittiesoflitsy @MinDea

LauraJ The world needs more taxidermy lamps. 6y

Shane Kuhn's black comedy crime thriller sequel to KILL YOUR BOSS is a laugh-out-loud thrill ride that kept me entertained despite a few pacing issues towards the end and a plot twist that manages to be guessable without making a huge amount of sense.

John Lago is very much in the vein of Richard Stark's "Parker". However instead of killing the woman he loves, Lago repeatedly tries to save her despite their ever-changing relationship from allies to enemies. People love a good popcorn movie, and Shane Kuhn delivers another popcorn book.
