    A hired killer finds herself caught between her conscience and her contract over the holidays in this riveting short thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.

    A hit woman’s work doesn’t stop for the holidays. As the advent calendar winds down, Paige slips into a palatial house, ignoring a blizzard of texts from her ex-husband. No surprise—Julian always gets maudlin this time of year. The real shock comes when the target is not alone. His young daughter is there too.

    Risking the wrath of her organization, Paige retreats. There are some lines that, for personal reasons, she just won’t cross. But when she returns on Christmas Eve to finish the job, the girl is still there…along with someone even more startling. As the ghosts of her past gather—to haunt or to help, it’s unclear—Paige must confront old traumas and outwit her superiors to make it to Christmas morning alive.

    ___________My 5 Star Review- Couldn't put it down!

    It opens with Paige who was an orphan who aged out of the system and meets up with Nora. Nora sees potential in her and begins to train her as an assassin.  She meets Julian on her first job and is somewhat starry eyed. At first...

     Nora I'm not so sure about is she too good to be true?  But Buz her male,  assistant I really liked.  Things in this emotional story move right along and I was ''almost" sorry when it was over.  I'm keeping it to re-read again.
