Octavia & Dario Killer School Mystery Books

When Octavia Ling spots an ad for The Italian School for Assassins, she figures that it sounds like a crazy workout, better than pole dancing, and exactly the kind of nuttiness she craves for a birthday that ends in a zero. Except, when “V" lands in Florence, the other assassin students seem…awfully serious about this whole execution thing. As in, V’s roommate tells her, “If I catch you breaking into my locked weapons cache, I will eat you.” And she ain’t joking. So V sneaks out for a drink with a hot young Italian guy named Dario. V wakes up the in morning with a teeny hangover and a huge problem: someone killed her Scary White Female roommate and framed V for it. Happy birthday, assassin school style. “Scintillating…imaginative...V is a character who calls out for a series. At once Everywoman and Heroine...a marvellous comedy/adventure.” Richard Quarry, author of Midnight Choir

All Octavia “V” Ling wants for the holidays? Inner peace and a piece of the sizzling spy named Dario. Since gingerbread men will dance the cha cha before Dario swears his undying devotion, V jets off to Goa, India, ready to rock the handstands with a yogini named Raven. Only Raven disappears. So V befriends an elephant and his mahout. They vanish in the middle of V's first yoga class…just in time for Dario to materialize on the ashram doorstep. Did the Yoga Love School transform into the Yoga Leaving School? Or will Octavia and Dario uncover far more dastardly machinations, deep in the incense-burning, paan-spitting, curry-scented recesses of Mother India? The Goa Yoga School of Slayers. The hilarious, pulse-pounding sequel to The Italian School for Assassins.
