Sacrifice #3
Will
Maddix Ripley is a natural born killer. Or at least that’s how she sees it. Her Elioud heritage caused her to be born with extremely heightened senses and after years of training, her skills are undeniable. After spending years on the street as a vigilante, of sorts, she has compiled a list of the most ruthless souls she has come across and she’s hell bent a determined to take them all out. Personally. But the terrible events in her past leave her emotionally scarred and hesitant to trust anyone. Living at the compound and working with the members of The Order, Maddix quickly becomes attached to all of them, which is something she never allows herself to do.
Angelo Deluca wasn’t something Maddix was looking for but he just might be something she needs. She never believed that she was made to be someone’s other half but Angelo has her wishing she was. They’re both broken and jaded which leaves Maddix questioning their love as well as her sanity. But when one of her vigilante stunts goes horribly wrong and she’s forced to call him for help she left with a choice. Does she stay with the people she loves and risk their lives? Or does she leave, leaving her heart behind as well.
“One’s mental fortitude, one’s mettle, aligned with one’s will is the most formidable human attribute. No man, machine, nor divine intervention can supersede. The will to perceiver, no matter the odds, ignites the soul like a beacon. Illuminating the obstacles on their path and turning them to dust in its wake.”

About the author
A.C. Heller
10 books119 followersI find it a little ironic that as a writer I can't seem to think of anything interesting to say about myself... Well, considering this isn't a work of fiction I might as well state the facts. My name is A.C. Heller. I live in the overly sunny state of Arizona. I adore my family. I grew up in New Jersey. I hate mushrooms and I only eat the edges of pop tarts because the middle is just too much of a good thing... um... Oh yeah! I'm also an author now. So I have that going for me. I've written and published a few books so far and I am currently working on more.

'Will' pulled me in from the start. Although I haven't read the first two books in this series, I was still able to follow the storyline and not be at a complete loss as to what was happening, what the characters were and what was basically going on as to what led them to this point. This book is full of great actions scenes with cool weapons, romance and it was very thrilling. Quite an adventurous ride. I loved the characters. An awesome array of personalities and strengths. Maddy is definitely a bad-ass. She's strong willed, sarcastic, has quite the temper and is as foul mouthed as they come. I love characters like her. I look forward to reading books one and two plus the rest in this series. A great add to your tbr list.

Review A.C. heller third book in sacrifice series "Will"
She did it again! What an awesome third book!
In this great third installment is from Maddix's point of view, her story.
In the second book we met her for the first time. She is Aidens long lost sister.
We don't get to know her that much in the second installment but we met her as this hard core killer, or natural killer as she would state her self. You get the hint that she and Angelo has a jet to come love story, filled with complications (in book two)
Well on to the third book !
It's filled with action! And what a handful Maddy is! Jez! That girl has problems.
But she has reasons to why, she's that way. She and Angelos's love affair is as expected filled with love, denial and more love ;) it was thrilling to experience their story and personal development.
But the most exciting character is
Damiano ( he is in the first, second and third book ) he is not mentioned that often and we don't know that much about him BUT! We get a lot more of him in this installment!
And I didn't see that one coming! Off course there was many hunts and such, but yeah couldn't figure that out! ( you'll know, when you read the book!)
***spoiler alert***
Tho we still follow the others, I'm so very exstatic to read that Chas is pregnant!!

Ok so since this book released a newly revised edition, I thought I should give it another look-see and give another review.
I was pleasantly surprised. No spelling or grammatical errors. Clean and symmetrical formatting. And polished writing. WOW!
A.C. Heller expertly builds her characters and the reader just can't help but form a bond with them. Maddix is bad ass, stubborn, impulsive, and did I mention bad ass? And I love how her thoughts and dialogue are written with her accent. It's amazing.
This book just got so much better.
Congratulations A.C. Heller, you've written yourself a damn good book.
FIVE STARS!!!!!

This review originally appeared on Invincible Love of Reading.
Synopsis:
This is the third book of the Sacrifice Series. It follows the story of Maddix Ripley. Maddy sees herself as a natural killer. A loner most of her life, she finds herself being accepted into the Order. She is more than just human, like her new family. Most are Elioud, the offspring of a Nephilim and a human. (Nephilim are the offspring of fallen angels and humans.)
Maddix has been living on the street as a vigilante, with a list of evil people she’s determined to eradicate. She is uncomfortable with the fact that she now has to consider her new friends. Moreover, she finds herself drawn to a sword wielding berserker named Angelo Deluca. All the while, their enemies are on the move. They have found a way to create a weapon to destroy the Order, using her friends as raw material.
Review:
A. C. Heller has written an intriguing tale of supernatural romance. Entering the world of the Sacrifice Series, one meets supernatural characters that have a very human quality to them. Her action sequences are exciting and believable. The only reason this doesn’t get more stars is the fact that Will needed serious editing. There are many typos that can cause the reader to “stub their toe” in what is otherwise a great book.
