My 56 for this week is from
Assassin’s Heart
by Sarah Ahiers
Genre: Fantasy
My 56 from the hard cover.
Last night Val had dangled the key before me. And then hours later my Family was dead.
I wrapped my arms around my stomach, trying to calm my twisting gut. Answers could come later. I lived.

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
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.

I won this book some time ago and it’s finally at the top of my TBR reading list. Hope it’s as good as it sounds!

Until the next time…
Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
That’s spooky …. I was JUST looking at this on Amazon a couple of hours and was hoping that someone I knew had read it already (or would be soon) before me!
That is weird. LOL I’m just starting this so can’t say how I feel yet.
I really like the sound of this:) Looking forward to seeing what you make of it. Have a great week-end.
I’m crossing my fingers. It sounds good, but I’ve not read this author before.
I enjoyed this one. I hope you do too. My YA spotlight is The Last Time We Were Us by Leah Konen. Happy reading!
Oh, that gives me hope! So glad you enjoyed it:)
I love assassins and this one sounds familiar. Hope you enjoy it…

I hope I do too, Stormi.
I’ve heard some okay things about this book, and it does sound interesting. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’m hoping it’s a good one for me. I’m just starting it.
Okay, I don’t really like the cover, but I loved the excerpts. Thanks for sharing and enjoy! Here’s mine: “THE OTHER TYPIST”
I like the cover but not sure how it pertains to the story yet.
Sounds quite good, I’m adding to my GR! Happy weekend!
I won this one. Hoping I like it!
Ohhh….to sad and intense for me. 😉 I’d love for you to visit me… http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsBTH
Lets hope there’s some kind of happy ending:)
The 56 fits right in with the synopsis, doesn’t it? I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for dropping by Exurbanis. http://www.exurbanis.com/archives/10437
This sounds really good! I’m excited to see what you think of it once you start – I’ve been waiting for people I know to read it 🙂
I’m not that far into it yet, but it’s looking good:)
I didn’t notice that, but it sure does!
I know how she feels. If you want to see me go zero-to-you-know-what in no time flat? Mess with my family. See where /that/ gets you.
It’s good Lea has had some training growing up, or this book would probably have a very different ending. And be considerably shorter. 😉
Me too! I can mess with my family, but no one else can. LOL
An important moment in this book. I read it a few weeks ago and I have mixed feelings about it at the moment.
I’m crossing my fingers. The synopsis sure sounds good.
Sounds great! Being Greek, family is important to me. Hopefully, the story ends with peace, love and restoration!
I second that!
I was mentally preparing myself for some blood and gore on the cover. So whew. That 56 is quite the snippet. Dang! I’d keep reading!
I’m curious if the cover ties into the book somehow.
I’ve seen this around, but I haven’t gotten to it yet! Great post. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
I’m liking it so far.
I like the sound of this one – some day I’ll get to it! 😀
I finally am!
