Waiting on Wednesday: Assassin's Heart by Sarah Ahiers

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

Assassin’s Heart
Sarah Ahiers
Publication Date: February 2, 2016
Hardcover, 400 pages, HarperTeen
Genres: YA, Fantasy
Barnes & Noble | Amazon | Goodreads

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.

My Thoughts

Yep. Another YA fantasy series. But I’m okay with that.

What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?

      Yes, they do! I'm going to lose so much money over the next 6 or so months! But it's worth it. I hope. ;)
