Waiting on Wednesday #75
Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers looks amazing. The world of Assassin’s Heart is very bleak and dark, and having one of those assassins hell-bent on revenge makes me think (and hope) the story will be fast-paced and exciting. It’s scheduled for release on Feburary 2nd, 2016, by HarperTeen.
In the kingdom of Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength of her Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.
Racked with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.
With shades of The Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate vengeance.

I thought this one was pretty good! I think my expectations were also a tad bit high, but 3.5 stars isn’t bad, right? I hope you enjoy this book when you read it!
Happy holidays, Lexxie. 🙂

I think 3.5 stars is quite good, it just shows that it didn’t completely blow your socks off. I’m going to try to lower my expectations as little bit 😀

This sounds really dark. I am curious about the lawfully killing part and how that works as well as the vengeance part. I will be interested in your review 🙂
