Assassin's Honor

Here's the official summary:

Archeologist Emma Zale sees the past when she touches ancient relics. It’s how she uncovered evidence of an ancient order of assassins—the Sicari. When a sinfully dark stranger shows up on her Chicago doorstep demanding an ancient artifact she doesn’t have, he drags her into a world where telekinesis and empaths are the norm. Now someone wants her dead, and her only hope of survival is an assassin who’s every bit as dangerous to her body as he is to her heart.

Ares DeLuca comes from an ancient Roman bloodline of telekinetic assassins. A Sicari, he’s honor bound to kill only in the name of justice. But when the woman he loved was murdered, Ares broke the Sicari code and used his sword for revenge. Love cost him dearly once before, and he’s not willing to pay the price again. At least not until hot, sweet, delectable Emma walked into his life. Not only does she hold the key to a valuable Sicari relic, she might just hold the key to his heart.

Review

Monica Burns introduces us to the Sicari, an order of assassins. It is an exciting adventure into a world of paranormal mystery and suspense. The world building is fantastic. Her characters are believable and you will love the hero and heroine as much as you hate the villains. The conflict between the Sicari and Praetorians adds an element of danger.

It is impossible not to like Ares. He’s dark, mysterious, honorable, loyal and dedicated to the order. When Ares and Emma first meet the attraction is immediate. The sexual tension that builds between these two is exciting and delicious. When they finally come together, it is worth the wait. The secondary characters in the Sicari are also quite intriguing and I am looking forward to reading more about them in future books.

Assassin's Honor is an intriguing start to a new series. I am fascinated by the world Burns has created. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary especially if you love paranormal/fantasy series then this the series is for you.

I gave this book 4 out of 5
