The Syndicate has never targeted a female before, yet somehow this one has ended up on more than one hit list. Vasi would like to find out why, but there may not be time.
Now, he'll have to decide whether or not to keep her alive even if it means going against his own family.

Release date: July 9, 2012
Why I am excited: I saw this book mentioned on someone's blog a few months ago. The synopsis really had me intrigued for many reasons. First of all, I have not read many books with male protagonists. That alone was played a big factor in why I wanted to read this. Secondly, I thought he had an interesting job as an assassin and wondered what the family business is exactly. I hope that he'll fall in love with this girl he can't bring himself to kill. I want to know why the girl is on multiple hit lists. Finally, that last paragraph leaves me wanting more. What is the conspiracy? And how can a decision not be life changing yet be irreversible? What does it all mean!? Plus a hot guy on the cover never hurts. And why is he emersed in smoke? Ahh so many questions I need answered. Luckily I asked the author and am now part of The Syndicate Blog Tour. I should be receiving an ARC soon so I can read it and report back to you my thoughts. I'll be posting my review May 16, 2012 so make sure you come back and find out if I think it was as good as it looks. Don't forget to check out the other stops on her tour too!
Wow. Reading the summary is making me really curious about that book. Like any good summary should. Sounds really promising. I haven't read many books with male protagonists either. So that's something extra to look forward too. And of course the cover is really nice. The guy has a really intense look in his eyes. Added it to my to-read list. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW of the week!
To respond to your comment; read Fallen like a year or two ago and so I don't remember much of it but I do remember loving it a lot. But the second and third book were definitely not as good. So I'm only curious about Rapture to see how it ends and of course reading more about Cam. I love him. ;D I just think Luce is really whiny and Daniel is just meh. But that's just me. :P
-New follower.
congrats on being on the book tour
ReplyDeletei'm soo hoping to read this one soon
WOW
I totally thought for a second that that was Alex Pettyfer on the cover. Ha! The synopsis sounds awesome, and I totally agree, a male protagonist would be a nice change of pace. Especially from the YA genre.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks and thank you for stopping by!

Oooooh that one looks so good! Thanks for sharing! Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW!
Dude, I think the covermodel is either in love with me or feels the deep urge to kill me (or both. Wait.. YA novel?) just from looking at it for a second! :O
ReplyDeletePatricia // My WOW
Ooooh this does sound good - GREAT pick!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just LOVE your header - SO CUTE!!
I'll wait for your review (and the blog tour, congratulations) for this one. But I agree that a male point of view can be a nice change of pace. Interesting pick. :)
