Killing Eve: No Tomorrow
Author: Luke Jennings
Published by: John Murray Publishers
Pages: 250
Format: Hardback
My Rating ★★★★★
In a hotel room in Venice, where she’s just completed a routine assassination, Villanelle receives a late-night call.
Eve Polastri has discovered that a senior MI5 officer is in the pay of the Twelve, and is about to debrief him. As Eve interrogates her subject, desperately trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle together, Villanelle moves in for the kill.
As the duel between the two women intensifies, so does their mutual obsession. And as they travel from the high passes of the Tyrol to the heart of Russia, Eve finally begins to unwrap the enigma of her adversary’s true identity…
My thoughts:
Killing Eve: No Tomorrow continues the story of the first book, as we learn more about the two fascinating female lead characters. This sequel is in many ways perhaps even more exciting and intelligent than the first book, as the breakneck pace makes for such an addictive read, and every twist and turn is great fun.
No Tomorrow is a high-stakes, thrilling follow up to the newest voice in spy fiction, with a twist. Jennings’ deadly and sophisticated story will leave readers eager to see what happens when these two powerful women come head to head.
I loved the character developments throughout No Tomorrow, and getting to know Eve and Villanelle more was exciting and addictively gripping. In this book, Jennings gives us more insight into the women, as we are able to learn more about their work and witness them interact.
Eve, the former M16 operative and the novel’s heroine, appears tougher than ever, while coming ever closer to a confrontation with Villanelle, the evasive and skilled assassin Eve is still hunting. The story really builds and builds towards the two of them interacting face to face, and I enjoyed every minute of the intensity. Eve finally begins to unwrap the enigma of her adversary’s true identity, and the slow unravelling of Villanelle’s world, keeping the reader guessing along the way.
The complex relationship and obsession between the two main characters is truly fascinating, and so well explored throughout both books. However, this book in particular delves deeper into the relationship between Eve and Villanelle, portraying an even more tangled and complicated connection.
The book speeds along at the perfect pace, offering great action, violence, elements of dark comedy, and of course some great twists and surprises are included. As the book approaches its final pages, you really won’t be able to tear yourself away. Killing Eve: Volume Two is honestly a great sequel, really fun to read and extremely addictive. I just loved it!
