I've stepped out of my carefully constructed contemporary box lately. I've thrown in some different subgenres and been blown away. I walked into this story with "The assassin is a woman and badass." GO GIRL POWER!
"Women were universally the more vicious gender. Cross a woman and hell had no fury to compare to her rage."
Damn straight! And once you read Bullet's story, you'll be understanding of her rage. Not to say our male lead, Rand, was to be put in the corner. He was his own version of badassness! And when the two start the embers of sexual chemistry - Whoa Baby!!
So, what is it that I liked so well? First off, I'm a huge Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum fan. I read all their novels when I was on a spy thriller reading kick. And Lea Griffith's story read so strong and true to all that appealed to me as a reader. It was fast paced, and yet she intertwined backstory to get you engaged with the characters. Bullet is amazing female lead as she is a force to be reckoned with, yet not over the top bitchiness that makes you not like her. Rand was definitely-I'm in control alpha male but can take a back seat and recognize when the 'girl' has the skills.
The story was thrilling and twisting that have you turning the pages long into the night to find out what happens next. But besides a thriller, there is a very appealing love story to offer. Its fun and leaves off where you can stop there or continue on to see what her 'sisters' bring to the table.
5 out of 5 thrilling stars.
