Brilliant readReally enjoyed this book, its well written and characters are fantastic. Really unique story that is fast paced and has great action. A splash of Romance without the naughty bits. It still hits the spot. Really great read looking forward to reading more from this Fab author x
It was okay So, the writer writes as if she's never heard of "show don't tell". She knew there were plot holes in the powers given to the heroine, but instead of changing them or figuring out why she just explained that "it doesn't make sense but that's just how it is." Lazy writing. The characters came off flat, the heroine was very Mary-Sue. Everybody loves her, she has all this amazing stuff, she comes from rich black market parents, and has a wonderful relationship with both of them. It was
WowI got this book on a whim. Boy, I'm glad that I did. It's great finding a new, really good author. Great characters and storyline. I only wish that there more to read.... Right Now !!!
I enjoyed this book because it was about a women who is smart and strong. It has paranormal characters that I enjoy. Starting next in series.
Chameleon Assassin is a conglomerations of different genres. It has echoes of cyberpunk - corporations rule, the lower class scrambles to make ends meet, and assassinations are not uncommon to get ahead. There is the hint of paranormal, though the existence of vampires, werewolves, and psychics are excused as 'mutations.' Lastly, there is the mystery/thriller: unlike some more traditional cyberpunk novels, Libby is not a private investigator; rather she is a thief and an assassin. She is also a
UF-lite. Light world building, light characterization. Plot was intriguing enough, but it was wasted a bit given the lack of those two other main points. Flat MCs. Still an easy, pleasant read. I might keep reading this series, but I'll have to think about it.
Interesting world building, unique powers, and a fairly complex mystery...but I was hoping for a little more sizzle in the romance department. Maybe in the next book!
This book is one of the #SPFBO reads and it's a little different to my normal reads, hence why I possibly didn't love it as much as some others may. This is the first in a series that follows Libby, a mutant who is able to transform herself into different people and appearances, much like a Chameleon. The idea - brilliant - what a good way to set up a PI character, but sadly the execution just felt a bit lacking for me in the end. What I did really enjoy about this book was the fast pace (I read...

Deliver a priceless art masterpiece or necklace? Hack into another corporation’s network? Libby’s your girl.Climate change met nuclear war, and humanity lost. The corporations stepped in, stripping governments of power. Civilization didn’t end, but it became less civilized. There are few rules as corporations jockey for position and control...
The premise of this book was interesting and immediately caught my attention. Libby is a mutant with the ability to change her image or blend into her surroundings. She uses her abilities to perform assassinations or steal. If that wasn't badass enough, she's also an expert hacker. In my opinion, she had a little too much power and not enough flaws.The world-building was interesting and I thought the structure of the corporate hierarchy vs mutants was pretty cool. The book got a little redundant...
‘Chameleon Assassin’ is an eventful little read. Containing a complex plot with a plethora of characters, this book was a hectically quick read. This does not contain any cliffhangers. I never even guessed that there was a sequel in the works until I saw the last page advertising ‘Chameleon Uncovered.’ Personally, I struggled with the pace and names, but I stayed for our assertive protagonist and the presentation of the dystopia. Libby, our favorite neighborhood mutant, is wonderful. She is conf...
Well writtenGood sense of humor. Thinking protagonist and believable plots. Would definitely enjoy more from this author. Hope she continues this series.
Libby is a mutant. She can change her appearance to match shadows, decor – and other people. Her talents are perfect for her life as a security expert, thief, and assassin. After all, how can you track down a criminal when you’ve no idea what they look like?A brace of legitimate jobs draws her into an underworld of drug dealing, a place she feels out of her depth, forcing her to rely on backup when she normally operates alone. It helps enormously that the backup is good looking, intelligent, and...
