Woah. So let’s just say at first I liked it but I thought it felt like it was slow, even though the character itself jumped from age 8-18 throughout it the novel. So there was character development and it was a coming of age type of story. It took a darker twist towards the end, but I liked that. I think that’s what made me jump this up half a star rating.

I can see how this wouldn’t be for everyone, but overall a solid read, nothing to crazy and fancy. So if you like assassins/guilds then by all means give it a shot! It’s only 389 pages what’s the worst that could happen? Lol

Will eventually pick up book two but not immediately!… (plus d'informations)

WOW! THIS BOOK ROCKED!!!

I have found a new urban fantasy/science fiction author that can grab the reader and pull them into their world as I was entranced from the first chapter all the way to the end. Also I really stepped out of my comfort zone with this book as normally I don't read space books, but after a recommendation from a friend I decided to try it out and I can tell you this, I was not disappointed!

A little back story for you readers.

The main character of the story, Nolan Garrett is crippled and in a wheelchair. He use to be a highly decorated Silverguard sniper until in the line of duty he was put out of commission with a spinal injury losing the use of his legs.



Nolan is down on his luck and he is addicted to pain killers to the point that he lives only to have the next fix to ease the pain along with numbing his mind as he has sunk low into a depressed state of mind.

When Nolan gets himself into some trouble in a back alleyway with some bad guys he just wishes his life was over as he just feels like he cannot go on, but all is not lost as coming to his rescue is Tanis Janssen who use to be a former Silverguard team member. Tanis helps him to the point of taking him back to her place with fixing his wounds and getting him cleaned up.

After a much needed discussion on his life and what he has had to endure for a long time, Tanis offers Nolan a way out of this life that he has made for himself by offering him something that will change his life around and make him feel like he belongs in this world. When she lets him know what she has proposed, Nolan is dumbstruck as he cannot believe what she has just told him.

What did Tanis tell Nolan? What is the life changing offer? What does Nolan have to accomplish to get his life back on track? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book to find out the details of Nolan's offer!

This book was exciting, fast paced and action packed to the hilt!

From the first chapter you just are drawn to Nolan Garrett and his circumstances where you feel his pain along with feeling his depression of his life being over.

The author, Andy Peloquin just draws the reader into this world of intrigue and mystery that surrounds the character, Nolan Garrett. Loved the character, Tanis Janssen as she just has a take control type of attitude and will fight for her friend, Nolan Garrett to the end. She will do whatever it takes to get him back on a track and get his life turned around. This book receives five "glowing" stars from me! I will be looking forward to the next installment in the series along with checking out other books by Andy Peloquin.… (plus d'informations)

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Small Backstory:

The Hunter (Assassin) wants to clean up his city of Voramis by taking out the trash so to speak as thugs called the Bloody Hand are trying to tarnish the city by ruling it anyway they can even if it means killing people that get in their way.

The Hunter learns more than he wants to know about the Bloody Hand and he finds out eventually that what is actually ruling the Bloody Hand is far more evil than he realized but stopping it will take everything he has including body and soul!

That is about all I can hand out without giving away spoilers so if just that tiny bit of info sounds intriguing then you need to go read this book!

Thoughts:

This book was freaking awesome! It is quite lengthy but it packs a major wallop within as the pages light up with sword/dagger fights, evil villains, and tons of action! Besides all the action, there are tons of emotions within this book as well - lots of characters that interact with our main character the Hunter which you will become attached to as you move through the book.

There is also suspense, nail-biting tension, breathtaking hitch moments and heart string pulls throughout the book. The visual writing style of the author will literally pull you into his world and you will see and feel everything that happens within the storyline.

There was a little bit of world building in the beginning but there was action right away too - the book never slowed down - in fact the more I read of it the faster the pace seems to become.

After the 50% mark the pace became even faster and I would find myself staying up all hours of the night reading as more things were revealed within the story.

The author, [a:Andy Peloquin|8038662|Andy Peloquin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1396314778p2/8038662.jpg] is the real deal and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series which there are quite a few books to read now and more to come in the future so I am here for the long haul and absolutely cannot wait to continue on this journey into the world of the Hunter! Giving this book five "Sword/Dagger Action" stars!

Highly Recommend!
