Sloane

Assassins #4

by V.J. Chambers

When Sloane Drake learns her best friend Leigh has gone missing in Boston, she expects the worst. She and the rest of the ex-assassins go after Leigh to discover her whereabouts. No one’s seen her, not even Axel Whitman, the arrogant rich boy who used to be Leigh’s best friend.

Sloane has always stuck to the shadows. She’s not flashy, she doesn’t take charge, and no one notices her. But when everyone else disappears as well, she’s left on her own. She’s got to find where the others have been taken, and she’s got to rescue them.

Axel wants to help. He’s a careless playboy who owns a burlesque gentleman’s club and usually spends his nights snorting cocaine or screwing anything in a skirt. Helping Sloane is dangerous and exciting, and he can’t get enough of it. Furthermore, he can’t get enough of Sloane herself.

Sloane knows that Axel is getting in the way of her mission. He distracts her with trivialities when she should be focusing on freeing her friends. But being with Axel makes her feel like she’s been pulled from the shadows into the light. She’s never been so… noticed.

Never thought it could be possible that I would get into a series this deep. I have a reading comprehension problem and a 6th grade reading level when I graduated high school. This author makes it so easy to read. This author makes all these books come to life and dance with imaginations that goes wild. It seems better sweet that I've completed four books in 14 days or 2 weeks. But now it's time to move on and find the next great series that she has written!

There are so many metamorphoses in this book. I think we finally see all of our characters come full circle with their issues, fears, their love for one another, and their pasts. Leigh and Griffin will always have a special place in my heart. Griffin is the damaged bad boy who loves Leigh in a way he never thought was possible. What woman doesn't want to be the one to make the bad boy change his ways, or at least break the rules for her? I was glad I got a little more of them in this book. Sloane also popped off the pages. The once drab, quiet wallflower comes blazing out in technicolor. She's badass--Leigh style. ;) And Axel Whitman is the man you love to hate. But in the end, you just love him. (Plus he has mad fashion sense AND was straight.)

Loved this one yet again. I would say though that it's getting a bit repetitive in some areas.
