Review

In this sequel to "Assassin's Heart", the action picks up 18 years later where Lea Saldna's niece, Allegra is now the protagonist and seeks the truth that has been kept to her all these years about her role in being part of one of the most infamous families of assassins. With help from Nev, a Traveler boy, she is lead to discover truths that have long been hidden, but also gets caught up in Nev's world and the consequences of this are more than she bargained for. Not a stand alone read, need the information given in the first to follow the story line in the second novel of the series.

Recommended for grades 7 and up. Would considered this to be a romantic and suspenseful type of novel. Well written and interesting characters.

Overall Book Score: very good
