Assassin Heart Sarah Ahiers Books

Wow! This Author is a mastermind at creating a unique world filled with danger, intrigue, magic, and love. I was captivated by the descriptions and intrigued by the haunting plot. This world is unlike any other I've ever read about. It's a world where hunters stalk their prey at night wearing masks of bone with intricate details in the color that represents their family. It's fantasy meets horror. It's honor meets fear.

Lea is the main character and a clipper. Her job is to murder for Safraella. She knows her poisons and takes pride in her kills. By placing a coin on the deceased' tongues she can give her victim a chance at life again. She is a kick *ss heroine with a tough persona. However, her heart is set on the forbidden. She loves a guy from another family... Each night they spend time together on the rooftops or dining in privacy. They know it's dangerous, but can't stay away. It's takes tragedy to tear them apart to the point of no return. Lea's home is burnt to the ground with her family inside. She is the lone survivor and desperately seeks revenge. She doesn't know it, but the revenge she seeks may just be against the person she loves most. Through her feelings of guilt she presses on to take down the family that took hers away. She reaches out to a long lost family member for help and he is quick to shove her away. The boy living with him however is intrigued by her presence. They strike up a deal and end up using one another to get what they want. A new love blossoms, deaths occur, and in the end belief and love is resurrection.

This book had so many awesome points. The magic laced within the pages really brought the fantasy feel I crave. There was no choice but to leave reality behind when reading... It brought unique characters with unique stories. I was held captive by the twists and turns and couldn't wait to see how it all played out. The romance was unconventional and for that I am thankful. Talk about a swoon worthy couple. Les and Lea were the best book couple ever! There was kindness in him and fierceness in her. Together they protected one another with their lives. It was very romeo and juilet and I loved it.

Overall, I can't say enough wonderful things... I enjoyed the book and how it was different from all the other fantasies I've read. I can't wait to read more by this Author.

Assassin Heart Sarah Ahiers Books Reviews

Sarah Ahiers creates an amazing world for us in ASSASSIN'S HEART. Her unique blend of classic mafia culture operating in a setting filled with ghosts and gods gives her story a richness the reader can sink into. Lea Saldana's entire family has been murdered by the Da Via's, one of the nine rival families of Lavero. Her only hope is to find her one remaining family member, her estranged uncle Marcello, and pray he will join her in order to take revenge and take back control as the Family leaders in their city. On her quest for Marcello, she encounters Les, an orphan boy her uncle has taken in. Les knows some tricks of the Family trade, since Marcello showed him bits of what it means to be a Clipper -- one who kills for Safraella, the merciful goddess of death. Lea sees an opportunity to mold Les into a better Clipper in order to help her with her desire for revenge; she just never suspects she'll fall in love with him. As Lea and Les prepare for their attack on the Da Via's, tensions mount when Marcello doesn't want to cooperate and the Da Via's find Lea first. She has to use her quick wit, her loyalty to Safraella, Les's continued companionship, and her honed skills as a Clipper to figure out how to overcome her grief at losing her family and coalesce whomever she can to start the Saldana legacy over again. Ahiers has done a brilliant job with her debut YA fantasy!
What happens when a born-and-bred young assassin loses her family, her boyfriend, and her place in the world all in one terrible night of betrayal and fire? How will she escape those hunting her when she represents the death goddess Safraella and the world turns against her? What does the beauty of death mean when it is cheapened and rebirth is ignored? How can she possibly gain vengeance when the only one who can help her refuses to lend his aid?

Cross the best parts of Steven Brust and Mercedes Lackey, and you have what Sarah Ahiers has written in Assassin's Heart. From beginning to end, there is nothing slow, plodding, or unnecessary in this story. The villains have reasons and humanity, the heroes have their all-too-human weaknesses and flaws, and there is no way the reader can avoid caring about them as they struggle against the odds stacked higher and higher against them. Ahiers has created an analogue fantasy world that lives and breathes its own consistent beliefs and social structures, and there is just a touch of magic and real wonder the give it a very special spark. Add Assassin's Heart to your fantasy (and/or young adult) "must read" list!
