Waiting on Wednesday (30) Assassin's Heart

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to highlight upcoming releases we're excited about.

This week I'm excited about...

Assassin's HeartTitle: Assassin's Heart
Author: Sarah Ahiers
Pages: 400
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: February 2, 2016

In the kingdom of Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength of her Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.

Racked with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.

With shades of The Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate vengeance.

Better late than never, right?  I completely forgot to write this up last night.  So this... love stories and assassins! DO WANT!  Also isn't the cover so pretty?

    Great pick, I haven't heard of this one until your post but it sounds almost Romeo & Juliet like! :)

    I saw this one last week and added it to my TBR. I can't pass up something that says Romeo and Juliet with shades of the Godfather. Hope we both love it!
