Shaede Assassin, Book 0.5
Synopsis: The envy of 1900s society, Darian is the rich, beautiful wife of a prominent Californian doctor—but her life is far from perfect. For years, Darian has suffered at the hand of her cruel husband and yearned for an escape—one that she knows to be all but impossible.
But when an enigmatic stranger comes to call, Darian finds herself charmed by his seductive smile and the inexplicable connection she feels. And when he makes her a thrilling—yet frightening—proposition, Darian must decide if she’s strong enough to abandon the mortal world she knows and answer the shadow’s call…
Review: Do you know I love the Amanda Bonilla books? Yes,
really! This series is just amazing, so it was impossible for me to not buy
this little novella as soon as it was out. Well I even throw myself on it. I
was very impatient to learn more about Darian, well ok, I think I always want
to know more about her. But
who can
blame
me?
We already had some notions about her past by her
memories in the two first books but it’s true that it was a pleasure to have
everything in details here. Our heart is broken when we see the battered woman she
was, the free woman she becomes. And when we see the person she has
managed to be, we can only imagine what she had endured
to get there. This novel helps us to understand
her feelings and her choices now, yes, because she had a very difficult life.
I’m happy to have discovered this book after reading the
two others, It allowed me to put everything in perspective and to understand what
was happening. Because this story has totally turned the life of our heroine
upside down, and made the person we meet in the two first books.
The author has a real talent to convey the feelings of the characters and I find myself hooked by the story by requesting more and more. How could it be
different? It’s impossible! It was
a wonderful novella and I can only recommend this series, I’m sure you won’t be
disappointed. Some fabulous ideas, a fluid writing style, many touching
characters, so what are you waiting for?
I'm always behind with discovering the latest UF series (I blame the massive TBR pile!), but I am starting to get into novella so this might just what I need to hook me in! :-)
RépondreSupprimertotally understand the problem but you really need to try this one I love it!!!
SupprimerI'd read it :) But I must say I thought that Darian was a guy
RépondreSupprimerlol well far from that, but this name is good for a guy too.
SupprimerDo you think it is smart to read the novella first, or after the books like you did and like it is published?
RépondreSupprimerI have not started this series either, but it is on my wishlist.
A friend asked me the same thing. I think it was a good order for me to read the first books before the novella. you don't need the novella for the books and it's a perfect extension for the books. I hope you can try it, it's a really great one!
SupprimerWhen I saw this novella I wondered if you would get it, knowing you love this series. :D So glad to see you loved it!
RépondreSupprimerof course, just need time to read the books I was in a hurry lol. thank you! now I wait for you to read it as well!
