Excerpt:

The sounds of blades being sharpened brings my attention to the right. It’s such a sharp, distinct sound that can make some peoples blood run cold. Me, on the other hand, I love it. As I step into the secluded building, I see the man that directs me to what jobs I have for the night. You see, I do the jobs that no others want to do. I clean up the mess that murderers, rapists, degenerates, and the scum of the earth make. Men that are high and mighty that can get away with their crimes so easily, because they have the money to make their problems disappear. But what most of them don’t expect... is me.

Review by Gia:
 Wow Pure Punishment is a crazy ride of a book. We get the POVs of Kristy and Kayla. Kayla is a killer who kills guys who have done bad things. She gets her assignments from her boss Tyke. Tyke is somewhat of a mystery. Kristy is the polar opposite of Kayla. Kristy is a hard working college student. She's shy and studying way to much.

A little into the book I was confused. I wasn't sure if Kristy and Kayla where different people or one in the same. At that point I put the book down and went into one of the book groups I belong to and ask around. No one knew the answer because they hadn't read it yet. My next stop was T.L. Smith FB page, where I found this message "Pure Punishment is a book you need to go into blind, spoilers will ruin it. Trust me when I say, take that baby in blind". Thanks T.L., I took that message to heart and continued reading. I am really glad that no one gave me any spoilers because spoilers for this book would have definitely spoiled it.

Kayla and Kristy live two different lives. There story pulls you right in. Some of the thing Kayla does are crazy. Tyke was very much a mystery through most of the book. Kai is a detective who takes a liking to Kristy. They have a good relationship. He shows up in both Kristy and Kayla lives. He seems to even know Kristy's grandmother. When reading I could help but feel that something was off with Kai and I wasn't sure how he actually would fit in the end.

The Epilogue is in Kai's POV and we get something about his past that makes me hope that there will be another book. This is one you should one click.
