I had an absolute blast reading this book. It fits firmly into the urban fantasy category, and everyone knows that's my bread and butter. Set in present day Las Vegas, we meet Miss Adina Venture, an Operator, and, as far as we know, the only one of her kind - a Deathwalker. The Exspiracarius. The Bogey Man Operators tell stories about to their children at night - "you better behave, or the Expiracarius will come for you, and there will be no one who can save you."
For all of her frightening talents, our heroine is an unassuming, petite brunette who just wants to live a quiet life in her casita. Well, quiet-ish. She is after all, an assassin for hire. She has done a fantastic job of staying under the radar of the Order - the magical oversight organization - or at least she thinks she has, until she awakes one morning to find two Order Inquisitors on her doorstep ready to arrest her for a murder that this time, believe it or not, she didn't actually commit. Now she has to find a way to clear her name or suffer the consequences at the hands of the Chief Inquisitor himself, the tall, stoic, British, (read: very good looking) Levi Breitling.
I'm looking forward to continuing this series. The world building has really only just begun, and there's so much more to learn and explore about the world and talents of the different Operators, as well as the Order and its systems and boundaries. Plus, gimme some more of that sweet, sweet tension between Adina and Levi.
So do yourself a favor and next time it's available for free on an Indie Book Blast, pick it up and enjoy the ride!
