The breathtaking first novel in New York Times best selling author
Gena Showalter’s new paranormal romance series, Otherworld Assassins, featuring
a black ops agent who is captured and enslaved…and the beautiful deaf girl who
holds the key to his salvation…
THE SWEETEST TEMPTATION…
Black ops agent Solomon Judah awakens caged and bound in a twisted
zoo where otherworlders are the main attraction. Vika Lukas, the owner’s
daughter, is tasked with Solo’s care and feeding. The monster inside him yearns
to kill her on sight, even though she holds the key to his escape. But the
human side of him realizes the beautiful deaf girl is more than she seems—she’s
his.
THE ULTIMATE PRICE…
Vika endures the captives’ taunts and loathing, hoping to keep them
alive even if she can’t free them. Only, Solo is different—he protects her. But
as hostility turns to forbidden romance, his feelings for her will be used
against him…and he’ll be put to a killer test.
My rating: 4/5
1. I was blown away by the stunning cover! The mix of colors and the
link we made with the characters is instantaneous, it's like you want to be
with them on the cover and in the story!
2. I recently read Never seduce a Scott by Maya Banks and the
Heroine was also deaf and I really enjoyed my experience with such a
''disability''. Vika has proven she was worth every line in this book! I loved
her guts and her willpower. I liked the fact that she didn't fall for the most
sexy or handsome man, but for everything Solo had inside. (Kind of Beauty and
the Beast retelling).
3. I liked the fact that (obviously) Solo wasn't the typical hot,
sexy, attractive alpha male that we all read about in PNR. His beauty came from
his strength, his desire to vanquish his enemy and more important, the fact
that he care for Vika. He doesn't have a conventional beauty and I really
enjoyed this part of the book.
4. Circus isn't my thing... Actually I hate everything from the
circus and I see more and more of them as background and theme of the book and
I can't seem to put myself to read them, it's like a phobia for me, but I thought:
Hey, maybe it's time to kick your ass and try one? And what is better than
starting with Gena Showalter circus background story??? Well, the way the story
was presented, I didn't feel this whole ''circus'' thing so maybe it would be a
negative aspect for someone who loves circus stories.
5. I liked that we heard about characters from Alien Huntress
series, maybe more of it would have been better.
6. The only thing that bother me was the fact that nobody came to
Solo's rescue or even the others being that where held in this circus. I just
can't seem to figure how this could be possible with all these aliens with
superpowers...
Page Turner: Yes!
Series: (Otherworld Assassin #1)
Stand Alone: Yes!
Hotness: Solo if you like the ''beastly'' beauty!
Proserpine Recommendation: If you are a fan of Gena Showalter
series, if you love PNR stories, this book is definitely a must-try this year!
Buy-Borrow-TBR pile!
I own many Showalter books, just don't have the time - but this is one I am definitely going to put on the list!! :)
