Blurb:

Half witch. Half fae. Pure savior?

Doing away with an evil fae queen to help her kingdom is Princess Lana’s ultimate goal.

But first, allies must be secured. Which means embarking on diplomatic missions that make the introvert in Lana cringe.

Even with the assistance of Garret, her friend, and maybe something more, Lana hates the idea of being an ambassador. And as it turns out, she’s not a natural either.

As her struggles deepen, doubt creeps in. Is she simply an imposter? Can she span the cultural divide between what she knew in the human world and mafias of fae or tribes of giants? Will she deliver on her promise to make a difference in the lives of the fae of Lyonesse?

Lana must convince the skeptics that although she’s not a pure-born elf of Faerie, she’s a worthy leader. And she will fight to improve their lives.

Because war is coming to Faerie, and she could lose everything she’s come to love if she fails.

Assassin Witch is perfect for fans of the Throne of Glass Series and The Cruel Prince. With a slow-burn romance, intricate world-building, and danger lurking in every faerie wood and mafia-run city, it will keep you enthralled long past the last page.

My Review:


Lana is struggling with the fact that she is a Princess and that her father is a Fae and to top it all off she has just been assigned General to her father’s army as well as second in line to the throne. Oh and being Princess is really upsetting her siblings. They are not so thrilled that Lana is the Princess and heir to the throne and they are not. They try to undermine Lana every way they can. They don’t like following her orders. Lana just wants to help out the kingdom by trying to get their magic back.

Lana’s first assignment is to assassinate the neighboring Queen but before she can do that she needs a bigger army so the first thing on her agenda is to of course get a bigger army. To obtain the training she needs in the field so to speak she has to go out and find that army. So she takes her team of soldiers and her siblings to see the giants to make a deal with them to fight with her march against the queen.

There is a lot of squabbling going on amongst the siblings to start their own war right inside the kingdom. Lana must somehow bring the siblings together long enough to accomplish her task. Can she pull it off? Will the siblings stop fighting each other long enough to take on the Queen?

Assassin Witch is filled with action from the first page right up until the last. There is betrayal in the kingdom. I have my doubts about a number of characters like the King is he the person we are lead to believe he is or maybe the Queen is not the person we are lead to believe she is or what about one the siblings are they the person we are lead to believe? Assassin Witch is a very intense read that will keep you flipping the pages unable to put it down trying to figure out who can be trusted and who can’t.

I highly recommend Assassin With to all fans of fantasy and the paranormal with Fae and witches and magic.
