The Guild Trilogy #2
Sacred Ruse
Some say the assassins have disappeared, but Quinn knows better than to believe it.
Haven City is a warzone. The streets are burning, paranoia is rampant, and death is more prominent than ever. The Resistance has retreated and the Assassin’s Guild seems to have faded into nothing, but the war has only just begun.
The Charger will not give up easily, not now that he’s gotten into Silent Night’s head.
Quinn is ready to leave Silent Night in the past and embrace her future with the Resistance, but not until the Charger pays for the wrongs he’s dealt, not until the Guild is dust under her feet.
Victory is easier said than done as unexpected consequences from her previous battles force Quinn to the sidelines once again. Relationships, old and new, test her resolve, and trust seems as out of reach as ever.
As truths unfold and her life spirals out of her control, Quinn will find solace in the notion that she is not the only monster in Haven and will put every effort into ending the Charger, even if it kills her.

Omg! This book. Talk about whiplash (in a good way)!
Emma Couette has done it again with book two of the Guild Trilogy.
Action-packed full of deadly assassins, intrigue and subterfuge. Young adult romances, found families and secret identities, plot twists and cliffhangers. The list literally just goes on. I honestly am hooked and can't wait to see how solemn vow closes the trilogy and what happens to all my favourite characters in the last instalment of the series.

OH MY GASH !! WHAT IS THAT ENDING!!?
I liked this book more than the previous one.
We get to see the characters grow and deal with their fears.
I was sooo happy when certain things *wink wink* came together.
I did not see those plot twists coming. I really was shocked.. like damn...you did that?
I have to say the series does get better the more the story progresses and I am so excited to see what's going to happen in the third book.
Again this a YA book so no🌶️. Also no like "closed door" scenes either in this book.

October 20, 2024This sequel is so compelling, action-packed and unique! You never know which way the story is going. The lead character is a fiery female with incredible fighting skill and in this book she faces physical and psychological challenges that add great depth to her character.
Emma's writing style is intense and rolling, there's never a dull moment and you never lose sight of the story's movement. This is a perfect read if you love action, skilled fighters, dystopian worlds, good and evil, and a sprinkling of romance. Love it!
