The Assassin’s Guide to Babysitting

Tru and her friends are trainee assassins. But Tru has to keep the full extent of her skills a secret from everyone – if people knew, she’d be considered dangerous. For now, she and her secrets are protected by undercover super-assassin turned guardian, Logan Dire, her protector ever since her parents were murdered when she was 10. Logan bakes, he keeps house – and he secretly gives her lessons on how to stay alive. Then Tru takes a random babysitting job one evening. When the house is attacked by assassins who’ve clearly come for Baby Thea, Tru has to put all Logan has taught her into action. She goes on the run, with Thea strapped to her chest and her three best friends at her side. But at every turn there’s a new question about who they can really trust. Oh, and Tru also has a burning question about whether it’s ok to kiss a girl who’s trying to hunt you down.
