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.
