An adventure packed page turner, with an ending that nicely, okay well nothing is nice about this book, so aptly sets the stage for book two. Even in the worst of families, family still means something, especially if you hold the answers they need. ARC from Netgalley. (  ) Beamis12 | Feb 3, 2019 | Meet Jack. He busts into a room, grabs a woman off of her lover, throws her on his shoulders and into the trunk of his car. He has been trailing her. Is he a stalker? Jealous ex? Nope. When he releases her from the trunk, they go at it like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Except these aren’t love interests. This is brother and sister. It is obvious that they have both been trained as assassins. Their “mom”, or the woman who trained them, needs to see them. When they approach her out-of-the-way home, it blows up in front of them. So the story begins. So, you can get the idea that this is a mix of Kill Bill, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and any other famous trained assassin movie you can think of. It reads a little like those old gumshoe movies with the voice overs. From the excerpt it seems to have more violence and sex than those old movies would have shown. I’m not sure if it peaked my interest enough to go buy the book. I would have loved to have read the whole thing and give you a better idea of what it was like and see if I would have been interested enough to invest in the series, but I just didn’t get enough information from the excerpt to be able to tell. My fault for not reading the publisher’s note that the whole book was available to download at a later date.What I did read wasn’t enough to make me want to run out and buy it. There are just too many books in this world that I know I want to read first. That being said, it peaked my curiosity enough that if I come across it on sale, I’m interested enough to give the first book a try. ( ) PinkPurlandProse | Dec 24, 2018 | Jack and Jill Thrillers #1 Roller coaster ride in a book – This action-packed, intense, thriller with twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Talk about dysfunctional families...Clare may have thought she was doing the best thing for her son and daughter by teaching and testing them for two decades but what she did may have left them scarred and unable to really function in society as we know it. That said, it would seem that assassins and spies are a breed apart and perhaps Jack and Jill may find a place within their ranks as this series continues. This book is told in the present with snippets of the past interspersed to give depth to the characters and the story as it unfolds. The backstory helps to explain why Jack, Jill and their mother Clare are the people they have become. As I read I realized there was more going on than Clare being kidnapped and whether or not she would or should escape. There was a puppet master that thought himself invincible but was he really? There are a few supporting characters that I found intriguing and hope will show up in the next book. I wonder if Jill will find a romantic partner that understands her...and think there just might be. I wonder if Clare’s suppositions about the father of her twins will prove to be true or unfounded. I wonder how the future will unfold for Clare, Jack and Jill and also for Holden/Christopher as he also become a big part of this story. There is not a cliffhanger but there is a hook that left me wanting to see what will happen next. This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a treat indeed. I would like to thank NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars (  ) CathyGeha | Dec 17, 2018 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"They live in the shadows, Jack and Jill, feuding twins who can never stop running. From earliest memory they've been taught to hide, to hunt, to survive. Their prowess is outdone only by Clare, who has always been mentor first and mother second. She trained them in the art of espionage, tested their skills in weaponry, surveillance, and sabotage, and sharpened their minds with nerve-wracking psychological games. As they grew older they came to question her motives, her methods--and her sanity. Now twenty-six years old, the twins are trying to lead normal lives. But when Clare's off-the-grid safehouse explodes and she goes missing, they're forced to believe the unthinkable: Their mother's paranoid delusions have been real all along. To find her, they'll need to set aside their differences; to survive, they'll have to draw on every skill she's trained them to use. A twisted trail leads from the CIA, to the KGB, to an underground network of global assassins where hunters become the hunted. Everyone, it seems, wants them dead--and, for one of the twins, it's a threat that's frighteningly familiar and dangerously close to home"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Boy is that not the case in Liars' Paradox. These twins have been trained by their commando mother to endure pain, deprivation, fear, isolation, and loneliness. The book reads like 007 meets revenge and I loved every minute. I thought Claire their mother is an odd ball who I actually liked. It wraps up well and I look forward to seeing how the two continue in the second book.
