The Henchmen's Book Club by Danny King
4.0
4 Stars
It’s not easy being a henchman these days. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, but one has to make a living right?
Admittedly, things started off a bit slow, but this story picks up the pace as all sorts of craziness ensue. Life as a paid mercenary can get one shot at, caught in many explosions, risk losing various body parts, not to mention government betrayals, infuriating secret agent adversaries, diabolical bad guys going diabolical, and ultimately, incarceration. You know, just to name a few potential challenges...
These men have it rough, but the bond they share through their love of reading on and off the job surprisingly, and ingeniously, becomes their one ace in the hole. Apparently, there’s a certain honor and due respect regarding these henchmen. They’re not really the bad guys. They just happen to work for them.
Cheeky fun, a bit horrifying and gruesome, there’s an abundance of over the top, holy shit shenanigans to this, peppered with a good sense of humor and a winking nod to just how insane working for adishonest dollar can be. Shockingly, this is the most fun I’ve had in a long while when not reading romance, and that’s saying a lot. Trust me - this was a rare nonMM wild ride!
