A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FOR MY 2014!
I have always been a big fan of assassins with some heart. This book blows it out of proportion because the plot doesn't only contain action packed scenes, it also has a good back story to go along with. There's also mystery and a hint of drama. However, what's the best here for me is the love part.
AVA AND OWEN SITTING ON A um...hmm.. STOLEN CAR... K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!
Okay so that part didn't really happen, but their love story is still so cute!
You'd appreciate the cuteness because Owen is not a character that I could imagine being that open, that adorable and that... just plain macho mixed with romantic. They are perfect for each other!!!!
The story actually revolves around Ava killing someone accidentally and then getting shot at herself. From thereon, she goes on a wild goose chase to find the perpetrator, of course with my dear, dear OWEN. I said that the love part is cute, but some parts of this book is downright ugly. It's ugly because I would guess that it really is happening somewhere in the world. Be ready for some drama and open your minds for Owen. You have to understand why he is how he is. You also have to give Ava a shot. She's a perfect example of a woman who's still finding her own way in the world. I could probably relate to her a lot because I feel the same way. I'm still trying to figure things out for myself. She's like that. I think many readers would like her because she's adaptable and she's not whiny. It's really very surprising that her character is not portrayed as damsel, but also not a girl version of G.I. Joe. She's somewhere in between which makes her more interesting.
The ending sure is surprising. I didn't see it coming! I smell a series, so I have to ask the author about it. That would be awesome! I don't want to give out major spoilers, so I'll just say that there are a few VERY, VERY INTERESTING characters here that are worth writing about. Just saying. ;)
All in all, of course I'm giving this a perfect score!!!
