This is a really clever novel and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. The writing style is perfect for the genre as is the pace of the narrative. Hugely entertaining, and definitely recommended.

The uniquely positioned blurb highly intrigued me, despite this not being my usual type of read and I am so glad and grateful to have had the chance to escape with this book. Action-packed and well paced this was an engaging and exciting read that provoked a few moral dilemmas along the way. I will definitely seek out further writing by this author.

This wasnt what I expected it was so much better. It really shows human nature when you can be so clever with some things and just not overly great with others.

You can easily imagine this as a blockbuster movie just *insert action film star here*.
Its an easy read, and you dont have to pay too much attention to the detail but sometimes its nice to let your brain switch off and just enjoy the story.

Agent Seventeen has no name - as a hit man he doesn’t really exist any more and at any time his life could be over. Until then, he completes his assignments without question.

Agent Seventeen is a good read, although I’m not a raving fan. At times it was a bit slow and hard going, but enjoyable enough.

Agent 17 is the world's greatest assassin. He's the 17th person to hold that position, and to become that person, he had to kill the person who held it before him, e.g number 16. The only problem is, Agent 17 (our protagonist), didn't kill number 16.

And so starts all the fun and we get assassins, globals plots, you name it. It's all very great fun and is a great read. It's all very preposterous if you think too deeply about it, but hey, no more so than many a blockbuster movie (of which this could well become). Indeed, if this ever gets made into a movie it'll be right up there with the Bourne, Mission Impossible, and Bond franchises, all of which fall apart if you think examine their plots/feasibility too closely.

Good read. Enjoyed getting to know the characters, that were well written and brought to life. Would recommend.

Fascinating cat and mouse style story, intriguing storyline, fluctuating levels of interest. I wouldn’t say gripping but definitely interesting.

The synopsis intrigued me. But sadly this didn't work for me. I found myself bored from the beginning. Which didn't improve at any point. I ended up DNFing at 42%.
The writing felt very slow despite the constant action happening.

One of the most entertaining assassin books I've read..

The characters are well rounded and engaging and I think if you have characters you are invested in, the plot becomes richer.

This book is well worth your time and I would happily read more books with these characters :)

Fast-paced, gripping thriller. Great concept and I really liked the characterisation. IT was clever and kept me hooked all the way through.

I found this book fast paced and mildly humorous at first, but eventually the story began to bore me as it seemed somehow to lose the thread.. I am sorry to say that I did not read quite to the end. The seediness of it all was too depressing when I am reading it in dim dark, December with strikes everywhere and one crisis after another. Sorry about not finishing it

Holy Moly, this book! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! I don’t usually read thriller but this book may have convinced me to read more! I screamed, I threw my book, I cried so all in all a good time!

A great spy Thriller. I did struggle a bit to get into it but once it got going and i got into the writing style I enjoyed the second half of the book.

If you love high energy thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seats and turning the pages to see what happens next then Seventeen is one you must add to your to read list. A book you need to fasten your seatbelts for as it' so fast paced. Thoroughly enjoyable read!

I enjoyed reading 'Seventeen.' Assassin number Seventeen was given a job to kill someone. Little did he know he would end up meeting Sixteen - who he had taken over from.
Plenty of twists and turns in this book to keep me hooked from beginning to end.

In some ways the storyline reminded me of those recent Keane reeves films about hired assassins .. so there is some degree perhaps of cliche .but a reader might anyway really like that! I suppose I wanted deepe r more colourful characterisations to lift me out of hired-assassin usual story .. in this case he's set upon him self
in devious manner by his target. ... fun but perhaps I've read it already)

Action-packed adventure. Loved the concept - the world's greatest hitman finds himself the target of his own job - and the characters. Sucks you in from the very first page and doesn't let go.

I loved this book. Extremely well written, grabbed me from the very first sentence and did not let go. This book is a real page turner. I will definitely look out for more of his books.

Not my usual read, a fast-paced action thriller, but I enjoyed the ride thoroughly.

The pace took off and never really let down, super heart-pounding action.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC!

If you’re into high speed high octane drama with twists and betrayal, then you’ll love this book. It certainly gets the adrenaline pumping and I was just experiencing it from my sofa! This is a well plotted book with interesting characters and a great satisfying story. Five stars from me!
