Jaeger

by Simon Bestwick

"Roth-Steyr, the story of Valerie Varden (or to use her full name, Countess Valerie Elisabeth Franzsiska von Bradenstein-Vrsovci, reluctant immortal and former assassin of the Habsburg Empire) wasn't quite like anything I'd written before. And almost as soon as I'd finished it, I knew Val had more to say. So I picked up her trail again, and found her making her way across a darkening Europe, hunted by a shadowy foe. Someone wants her to find out who Val will need to remember everything she tried to forget. She must become, once more, an assassin. A killer. A Jaeger."

[Runalong · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very fast paced European road trip thriller with added immortals. A very good blend of character, action and historical depth that I enjoyed a lot
