Hello friends!
It felt like a Monday today; I had to scramble last minute for this post when I realized it was actually Tuesday! Guess that is what happens when you have a fun, long weekend.
The week’s theme is books featuring an assassin, whether our leading lady or one of her lovers. I haven’t had a chance to read the samples yet, so hit me up if you think a book doesn’t belong. The synopsis and reviews made them sound intriguing.
Hopefully you can find a great assassin read from the list below.
Be well, and happy reading!

I’m whispered about within the walls of the CIA. The Specter. Everyone’s heard of me, but nobody knows who I am.I work the extremely classified and high-profile assignments that nobody else could pull off. That’s what I’ve been trained for since I was ten. Since the day my adoptive father, David Briggs, took me in, he’s trained me to be who I am, and I’ve become incomparable.
How hasn’t anyone figured out who I am, you ask? I work alone. Every assignment that crosses my desk is handed to me by the director himself and I do the job without any help, working from the shadows.
That all changes when the largest ever shipment of fentanyl laced heroin is set to cross the U.S border from Mexico in under two weeks. If the shipment makes it across the border, containing 40 tons of heroin, it could potentially kill a million civilians.
I can’t handle this job alone. Not with the tight time-frame. Which is why I’ve been given a team to help me.
Elijah, Gael, Beau and Cameron. We’re tasked with stealing the files that contain the supply routes, dates, and times for the shipment. Piece of cake?
Yes, they are. I try to maintain a professional relationship with my new team, but they’re determined to make it personal.
Gael and Elijah with their sweet words and easy-going attitudes.
Cameron with his flirty grin and his in-your-face charisma.
Beau with his all seeing eyes and secretly gentle soul.
They’re determined to break down my barriers, and I’m inclined to let them.
They invited me to their masquerade.
Three cursed brothers—
One a warrior.
One an assassin.
One a prince.
I’m just an ordinary, nerdy, twenty-three-year-old girl. (I mean, my hobbies include writing fanfiction and caring for my collection of succulents.) I don’t know anything about magic. And I have no idea why these brothers want me.
But as they draw me into their enchanted world, they tell me I’m the only one who can save them from their curse.
I only hope my heart is prepared for what’s to come.
CURSE & KINGDOM is an ongoing fantasy romance serial full of spicy romance, lush magic, and enchanted, oh-so-sexy heroes. While this book contains the complete first season, please note that it ends on a cliffhanger.
Sometimes you have to seek monsters to escape a monster
My mom and I, we have a secret. For the last two years, we’ve been on the run from someone far worse than Ares, Hades and Vulcan. We’re tired of running. What better place to hide than behind the walls of Olympus? The home of The Pantheon, the mafia that controls East Haven?
When we arrive three dangerous men take an unlikely interest in me, despite my efforts to keep them at a distance.
Vulcan: The sweet, flirty tech wizard
Hades: The assassin with eyes so blue it hurts
Ares: The heir to it all with an attitude to match
The men of The Pantheon think they are the baddest of the bad, that living with them is a danger to my body, my soul and my virtue. I’m here for one reason and one reason only: Security. Their ten foot walls and cameras. Their guards and guns.
But they want to give me more.
They want to take more too.
KISS is a 117,000+ word full length novel. Includes foul language and sexual scenes; any sex featured is consensual. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one of three in the series.
As I avenged my parents’ and brother’s deaths, I didn’t think it was too bad to make love with the Mafia boys who could help me kill my target. Sleeping with the Mafia princes is not part of my plan as a professional assassin—I only have one ultimate goal and that is to finish off Viktor Sokolov, the leader of the Russian Mafiya, the fucking culprit behind my parents’ and brother’s murders. I am on the verge of destroying Viktor, but I am held captive by these Mafia boys who rule the infamous Manhattan Triad. Three hot and dangerous men—Devon, Seraphin, and Emir—who apparently also have the same target. However, they impose a special rule within the bounds of the working relationship. Now that I can enter their circle, I must also share their beds—all three of them. I will be their playmate. Fortunately for them, I am not one to back out. After all, engaging in erotic games is one of my specialties. And until I get my final revenge, I’ll continue to play fire with these Mafia princes.
Welcome to the dangerous and enticing world of the Belladonnas—where the women may be beautiful, but they’re more deadly than anyone could ever imagine. Assassins. Women for hire. Is there really a difference? These women dress for success…and that success is usually found while standing over the bodies of their targets. Eleven USA Today and International bestselling authors bring you a dark and decadent world full of spies, con men, assassins, and deadly secrets. Will these deadly flowers be able to find love?

They intended to punish me. But their protective natures wanted so much more.
It was supposed to be an easy job. My last heist for the Crescent Coven that would finally release me from their service. But they neglected to tell me I was stealing from The House of Shadows. And from the most ruthless vampire in the city.
Caught by Roman’s crew, I am terrified that I traded one lifelong debt for another. Between the arrogant wolf, the mysterious dragon, and the irritating fae assassin, the men of The House of Shadows have monsters brewing inside. They’re ruthless, frustrated, and angry that Roman dragged me into their world.
They seem to hate me, and despite the intense attraction, I don’t trust myself around them. After all, I have a deadly secret of my own. But when my life is threatened and the truth is revealed, the monsters must choose to return me to the coven or become my protectors forever.
The Blood Game is the first book in a steamy, medium-burn paranormal reverse harem romance series featuring dark secrets, wicked magic, and dangerous mates. For mature readers only.
As an assassin of the Lifeless League, there are two rules I live by: 1. Never kill another hunter. 2. Obey orders. When I find that my newest set of targets are branded with the Mark of the Hunter, I don’t know who I can trust anymore. I can’t take their lives without knowing why these mysterious men turned their backs on the League. A choice will have to be made eventually. Even if they refuse to make anything easy for me. The four brooding ex-assassins give me trials, training, and tests to study my unusual powers and prove myself as one of them. A deadly plan is now in place but they’ve all made one grave mistake: Underestimating me. Because I’m adding a third and final rule to my list: 3. Survive. This the complete series boxset including: An Assassin’s Death, An Assassin’s Deception, and An Assassin’s Destiny. This reverse harem series is recommended for readers 18 and over.
THIS OMNIBUS INCLUDES: Infernally Marked (Infernal Blade Prequel), Infernally Mine, Infernally Theirs, Infernally Taken (Bonus Story), Infernally Ours, and Infernally Owned (never before seen Mara, Declan, Dorian, and Everett bonus)!

There’s magic in my music. I’m a spellsinger; if I can sing it, I can manifest it. That’s what got me sent to TÃr na nÓg, Realm of the Shining Ones. You might know them better as Faeries. I know them as the strongest magic-users in all the Realms. Yes, some are even stronger than me. And I’m here to assassinate one of them; a king, no less. A king with the body of a god and the most amazing eyes I’ve ever seen. What a shame. He won’t even know what hit him. The Onyx King may be astoundingly powerful, but all I need is one song. He’ll be dead by the end of it. Or I will. Either way, I’m about to sing someone’s last lullaby.

Book Summary: You know that saying about life being a journey? Mine was not. I didn’t get to stop and smell the roses. I didn’t get to indulge in a normal life. Why, you ask? Because I’m Vivian Adair. The only snake shifter known to our kind. I’ve been trained my whole life that my importance rested on my abilities. That I would help tip the scales to make this world a better place. As an assassin in training, I did more missions than most active killers. I took out the bad apples that fell too far from the tree. It became my sole purpose. So, what happens when I find out my cause might not be what I thought it was? The people closest to me, weren’t who I thought they were? I guess we’ll find out, one secret at a time.
