Merry Little Vengeance (Holiday Quick Kills Book 1)

Morally Grey CharacterVillain ProtagonistFemale Assassin

Most people unwrap presents at Christmas—I’m busy wrapping bodies.

This year, though, my usual routine got personal. Going home for the holidays wasn’t exactly my choice, but when you’re a hitwoman with a complicated family and a past that refuses to stay buried, things tend to get... eventful.

Let’s just say some skeletons should stay buried; others demand justice. And me? I deliver it.

If you’re into thrillers spiked with snark, a touch of holiday mayhem, and a heroine who’s equal parts ruthless and relatable, Merry Little Vengeance will make your season bright—just not for those who prefer their holidays warm and fuzzy.

A wickedly fun holiday thriller with a hitwoman who steals every scene — and she’s got vengeance simmering under every snarky line. Sharp, dark, and deliciously un‑festive in all the right ways.
