Fresh Fiction Review

Blood Assassin
Alexandra Ivy

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko

Romance Contemporary | Romance Paranormal

At six foot three and more than two hundred fifty pounds, Fane is a natural born guardian. He has spent years turning himself into the muscled perfection and steely precision that has for years been the sole protector of a necromancer. Now she is mated and loved by someone else and he is adrift. He can't imagine that he will soon be protecting another from a BLOOD ASSASSIN.

Serra Vetrov is a very powerful psychic, a telepath with the ability to connect through objects. She just wishes she could connect to Fane as easily. She is about to give up, she's done everything possible to let him know she is there. It is only when Serra packs up and walks out the door without telling anyone where she was going ... something she would never do that Fane begins to worry.

A powerful high-blood's daughter has been kidnapped and Serra finds herself helping. Not completely by choice, but with Fane now by her side they begin to search for the child. Neither has a choice in the matter; they must find the girl, protect the high-blood himself or face the reality that Fane just might lose the only woman he could ever love.

BLOOD ASSASIN is a fascinating, enthralling, heart pounding read. Author Alexandra Ivy continues her Sentinels series with this explosive look at Fane, who is at loose ends after no longer having to protect the necromancer Callie (her story is "Born in Blood"). I found the dynamic between him and Serra interesting; with her dancing toward him and him backing away. It took her being in danger for the truth of what he was doing and missing to hit him between the eyes. Readers will find other intriguing side stories and characters in this book. We get to know more about Wolfe, the Tago (leader of the Sentinels), and the Mave (leader of the high-borns) as these two reluctantly work together. Then there is Bas and his second in command, Kaede, two of the bad guys, but are they all bad when they both adore the little girl who was kidnapped? Though BLOOD ASSASSIN is part of a series it is a stand alone and a highly enjoyable one at that. If you have not read Ms. Ivy's Sentinels series you will want to pick up Born in Blood because they are fantastic reads. I cannot wait for the next one!

SUMMARY

They are the outcasts of humanity. Blessed with power. Cursed by fate. Driven by passion. The Sentinels have returned. . .

Out Of The Shadows

At six-foot-three and two-hundred-fifty pounds, Fane is a natural born guardian. A flawless mix of muscled perfection and steely precision, he has devoted years of his life to protecting a beautiful necromancer. But after she found love in the arms of another, Fane has been a warrior adrift. He swears allegiance only to the Sentinels. And no woman will ever rule his heart again. . .

Into The Fire

Not only a powerful psychic, Serra is that rare telepath who can connect to minds through objects. When the daughter of a high-blood businessman is kidnapped, Serra agrees to help. But when she stumbles onto a conspiracy involving secrets sects and ancient relics, her life is in mortal danger-- and Fane is her only hope. Is the warrior willing to risk his body, his soul, and his heart, for Serra? Or will one last betrayal destroy them both?
