ABOUT THE SERIES

Holly Lin is an agent with an American No-Name Agency (NNA).

Specifically, she is an assassin, paid to travel the world on her agency's behalf to take out enemies of the United States. Working for an NNA makes putting something down on any kind of application so officially she is the nanny of two young children whose father works "for the government". She truly is their nanny when she is not out on assignment but she takes a lot of one-to-two day "family trips" when missions call for it.

Lin is the uncommon offspring of American parents, one of whom is of Chinese descent and the other Japanese. When first we learn of her, in a novella, she is 17 years old and living temporarily in Hawaii where her father is in the military. Very unpleasant events take place then which will drastically change the course of her life. Instead of getting her college degree and starting a normal job and meeting someone and getting married and having children, as her older sister did and as her mother expected, Lin would take a far different path.

When the first full-length recorded adventure takes place, Lin has been an agent for some time and is closing quickly on 30 years of age. She has suffered some adversary in her life recently and is struggling to cope. Her fearlessness has shifted towards recklessness and that has worried her boss, Walter, though not enough to bench her. Lin, even slightly out of control, is still too good a tool to not use.

Working with her for some time is a fellow agent with the unusual first name of Nova (short for Casanova). He is a pretty interesting character himself, enough so to warrant his own book.

MY COMMENTS

I am a sucker for women characters who can and do kick butt and take names. My wife says it is because I, like most males, go for cat fights but I honestly disagree with that. I like strong women characters because I know how tough they can be from having had a slightly older sister who would have been one of them had the situation called for it. She was, and is, one of the strongest people I know and she had one heckuva right jab (my jaw learned that a time or two). So here is Holly Lin, a sweet nanny who is also a deadly killer and maybe the situations are not the more logical or true-to-life but who cares! They are fun stories and I really enjoyed them

So if you have any interest in a female who knows how to take care of herself, and take out bad guys when needed, this is a series for you.
