❥ Vega & Adrian ❥
So being in a bit of a reading slump I decided to jump into this one even knowing the next book wouldn't be out until September didn't deter me, and even though it did take me a wee bit to get into it definitely got me out of that slump I was in.
All us readers love us a strong heroine and Vega was just that, a trained mercenary from a very young age, plucked up from an orphanage and initiated to become a killing machine by the Schatten.
You couldn't help but feel sad for the life which was stolen from her, she was just a girl who had no future, once in the Schatten there was no out, only death. And getting out was what she craved most in the world. To be just a girl for once in her life..
She's then sent onto a mission at St. Vasili's academy to garner as much information as she can about
Adrian Zylla and then take him out. She's only to happy to comply because this is the last place she lost one of her closest friends, one day he was at the academy the next she'd been told he was dead. Now she's got the perfect opportunity to dig deeper.
But nothing at this academy is what she expected, she thought she'd go in get the job done, find out what happened to her friend who was like a brother to her, and get out, but what she didn't expect was to fall for her target and to make an unexpected friend at the academy who she would protect with her life.
Adrian Zylla is next on the throne under his father, a father he wants to eliminate and to run things his way. But to do that he has to gather an army.
The moment he clapped eyes on Vega the attraction was palpable which unnerved him, in his life you couldn't afford to form any attachments. But everytime he was near her he felt calmer, all the demons inside rested.
But things aren't what they seem at the academy, there are deep dark secrets shrouded within, there's a group forming called 'The brotherhood' there's a killer on campus leaving a calling card that points towards Vega, there's a fighting pit where if your name is called out you fight the other with all you've got.
And of course this one had to end on a major cliffhanger!!
