The Killer’s Apprentice

My track record as a killer is flawless until a bombshell crashes through a window, leaves fingerprints all over my crime scene, and kills my mark.
Lexi’s a tornado of rage and impulsivity, which is a death sentence in my line of work. But when she begs me to take her on as an apprentice, I accept the challenge because she wants revenge, and I’m a sucker for a kill list.
And though her skill set is impressive, it doesn’t intrigue me nearly as much as the secrets I know she’s keeping. They’re almost as dark as the ones I’m hiding.
Did I just meet my match or my worst nightmare?
Lexi wants to be a killer like me. Fine. I’ll arm her to the teeth and set her loose on the monsters she’s hunting. But there’s one lesson she needs to learn first: Trust no one.
Not even me.
