OH. MY. GOD!!!!!! OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!! This was probably the most intense of all the Renegade books to date. The sex was intense, the story was intense and the last two chapters gave me the shivers.
The beginning of Assasin gives us a recap of things that have happened between Lissa and Ian along with what has happened to Lissa and Ian. Excellent overview.
In Assasin we have to worry about what the enemy has taken and now know from stealing Ian's laptop. Also we know understand Alik's role in all this and I can tell you in this story I loathe him even more.
Ian must go to Salvation's headquarters and figure out if his cover has been blown. Lissa keeps having memories of Alik, but as soon as they appear they disappear. She doesn't understand why. Then Alik gives her a command she's not supposed to refuse. Kill Ian.
Assassin diggers deeper, gives the feels deeper and waiting for the final book is going to be hell.

The story between Ian and Lissa really hots up in the book.
I have never read anything but total brilliance from Julia Sykes. This book is no exception.
With Alik controlling her mind. Lissa is blissfully unaware. Ian and Hassan are oblivious to. I could not see what was going to happen. All through the book I was on edge. I felt as if I was being pulled to the top of a mountain. The tension, just kept mounting. Then bam. I was in freefall off that mountain.
The sexual scenes between Ian and Lissa definitely deserve a mention. All I will say is damn. I want to be Lissa!
I really don't know how this is going to end. With the way Julia Sykes writes, anything can and usually does happen. I really want the next book NOW!!!!

Another 5 star novella in this serial!
*No spoilers*
There is a huge climax point in this one that totally grips and it made me devour it in an hour and a half.
As always, there were pretty hot scenes where the connection between Ian and Lissa was obvious. And an even hotter, but totally messed up, scene at the very end which paved the way for the next book.
The cliffhanger at the end caused me to scream and it'll be really hard waiting for the next one this time... because of what seems to be coming for Lissa and Ian. Let's just say I love a good chase ;)

This series gets better & better with each book. The last two chapters had my heart racing & when it was over I was left with my jaw on the floor. I absolutely love Ian & Lissa, their so hott together but I feel absolutely terrible for them because of all the drama in their lives. I've grown to hate Alik with a passion, he's such a terrible person. I cannot wait to read the final installment of this book & find out what happens!!!! As usual Julia Sykes is an absolute genius!

Once again I'm left with my jaw on the floor and my heart pounding!!! Each book just gets better and better and more intense than those before it. These characters continue to amaze me! I'm truly at a loss for words. I'm begging for more!

Tension has ratcheted another notch in this next installment in the Renegade series. Lissa's been "rescued" and Ian is doing everything to protect her. The ending was out of this world and I can't wait too see the final installment and how everything is going to wrap up. Great serial!

This series keeps getting better and better. I was not expecting things to happen the way they did and i'm surprised. Poor Lissa can't catch a break and Ian poor man he's in trouble and doesn't even know it. And Alik ugg I hate Alik can't wait to see what happens in the final book.
