Not Like the Other Parents

Asia Mackay

This midlife crisis really is murder . . .

Fox and Hazel have it all: two children, a beautiful home, and a late-night habit of eliminating people who deserve it. Yet work-life balance is hard when you want to kill bad men but raise good kids.

With a school mum tyrant on Haze's case, and Fox struggling with performance anxiety after a botched kill, things are spiralling. Therapy isn't helping, and bullet journaling has taken on a whole new meaning. . .

But when they accidentally draw a deadly mobster to their doorstep, the couple must pull it together - and fast. Because surviving in suburbia is no longer just a challenge. Now it's a real fight for their family's lives.

And it turns out, self-help starts with staying alive.
