Title: Kill a Spy (House of Killers #3)
Author: Samantha Lee Howe
Stars: 4
Review:
This is not a stand alone novel at least it wasn't for this reader and review. It was hard to understand all the different characters and the romance didn't really make any since. That being said Samantha Lee Howe is a must read author. The authors ability to story to tell a spy story will have fan of Jason Borne, and James Bond head over heel in love with her.
The story moves along quickly meeting characters from other books who are in the spy and double spy world. Each chapter is told though a different character in the book which will take some times getting used (at least for this reader).
Kill A spy kills in back story that will fill in any questions readers have. The author is at the top of the game with her writing, story telling I can't wait to read book 1 and 2 of the House of Killers series.

Synopsis:
The house of killers always had one objective: to train a class of warriors that would elevate the Network from the national to the international – the amateur to the elite. It was the perfect poison… Radicalisation by virtue of not knowing any different.
They never expected their most notorious child to claw his way back to the beating heart of MI5. Consumed by hurt and rage, Michael Kensington has his own objective: Neva.
But as the body count rises like a tide that will sweep them all into oblivion, Neva will stop at nothing to make him understand that everything is at stake.
Because there’s only one way to push back against the tide… Together.
