Assassin's Prey

4.5 stars Ella Sheridan is fast becoming a one-click author for me. I fell in love with both Levi and Abby in Assassin’s Mark and I am thrilled that their story continues in Assassin’s Prey. This romantic suspense is sure to keep you on your toes as it is full intrigue, action, and some scorching chemistry between our favorite assassin and the ever fiesty Abby. Levi remains a strong alpha hero who is “the assassin, the lover, the brother” that I loved in the previous book.. He is possessive of Abby, but he fears that he will destroy her. I admire how loyal and protective he is towards Abby and towards his younger brothers. Abby remains a strong heroine who is definitely no doormat. I feel for her because her life is turned upside down with all that goes on in the book and also because Levi doesn’t always give all of himself to her. Nonetheless, her love for him never waivers. These two make such a great couple. Assassin’s Prey is told entirely from Levi’s POV and I do wish that there were a few chapters from Abby’s as I would love to get into her head. I loved reading more about Eli and Remi and I hope that these two sexy, complex characters get their own books. This book has an engaging plot and moves at a great pace. There is the mystery of who is after them and why and it was entertaining to see how it all was revealed. There were moments when I gasped and struggled not to throw my kindle and other moments where I thought my kindle would spontaneously combust from the hot scenes between Levi and Abby. Overall, I really enjoyed this romantic suspense. There is a HEA with no cheating and no cliffhanger. I received Assassin’s Prey for free and I am really looking forward to reading more works by this author.

Hauntingly beautiful romantic suspense! Oh my word, I was happy with the HFN we had at the end of Assassin's Mark, but this book vaults the entire story to the next level! We pick up where we left off, with Levi unable to stay away from Abby so he gives everything he can to their relationship. Their peace is shattered when a new threat arises, and the shocking twist about where that threat originates was completely unexpected! The action barely lets up enough for the characters to catch their collective breaths and address the dysfunctional aspects of their relationship as the threat is uncovered layer by layer, secret by secret. We get more backstory than I ever suspected from the first two books, though I guess I should have seen it coming. The emotions are running dangerously hot, resulting in a cathartic release that changes everything. Abby really shines in this story as she reaches deep into Levi's heart to own every fiber of his being. Remi and Eli aren't mere bystanding relatives; they're written with the same level of heightened awareness and emotional depth, holding promise that the author will feature them in future books. The HEA is so much more solid than I dared to dream for these two, making this a must-read book in this amazing series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I am not sure that I even know where to begin writing a review for this because it is truly an awesome experience. The author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major two characters, but the minor ones too. I loved everything about it - the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing, and the ability that the author had to tell me a story that had me wanting this book to go on and on. I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
