Ford is a living hitman, and his partner Neuland is undead. When they fail to complete a job, they flee to California. When they reach California, they meet Tilda, who tells them that her great-grandfather wants them to kill a devil that lives in their old house. This was fun and often funny despite some typos and some cringe dialogue. There were also times when I got frustrated at Tilda. I am still looking forward to the sequel and reading more of Ford and Neuland's adventures.

This read like an episode of a fun and witty supernatural tv show.
And I mean that in a good way.
The dialogue was sharp and clever and moved the plot along smoothly. You don't get much introspection into these characters but that didn't stop me from having a good time.
I read this in two sittings and it was a entertaining enough way to spend a couple of hours. Would certainly recommend to anyone who reads the premise and thinks it sounds good!

đŸ‘¹Short stories/novellas
This story takes you on an adventure with two contract killers—one living and one undead—as they tackle a new case. The banter between them is excellent, and the author and narrator both do a great job of making you love the pair. I'm normally a big novella/short story fan, but this storyline felt a bit rushed.While I loved the concept and vision, I wanted more backstory on both main characters and a more extended contract.
