Featuring the protagonist, Jane, this is the story of a teenage assassin. Not only does she have to deal with school, friends and the rest we all do (or have!) but she also has an interesting interest - death!
As this gripping story progresses we get a look at who Jane is. What lead her down this path? And where is she going? This story combines the mundane life of a school leaver. She's got to decide what she does with her life, and as the story moves on there are some well-plotted moments as both sides of Jane's life crash together. When you add in the cast of victims, clients, foes, friends and everything in between this story captures you from beginning to end.
