Violent Causes

Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Blurb:
(A warning from the author: This series explores serious
issues of male abuse of power, and female strength. The main character, Leeth,
is both innocent and dangerous, and still has a lot to learn about life in
general.)
Leeth: former experimental subject -- now embracing her deadly new career.
The year is 2063 – 27 years after magic returned to our world. Leeth has survived a childhood as the unwitting subject of Dr Harmon’s unethical experiments at the Institute for Paranormal Dysfunction. She is now an eager assassin for a government black ops department.
Her missions: seduce and destroy.
But Harmon, knowing she’s unprepared for the emotional cost of those missions, sees in that pain the key to her magical development and survival.
Magic, however, can be subtle – from shattered remnants, new seeds can grow. And when the artefact of a Death God is added to the mix, it won’t be Leeth alone who is tested.
My Review:
Leeth has been trained as an assassin for most of her life.
Now she is sent out on missions where she is to infiltrate a person’s life,
make that person fall in love with her and she is to fall in love with that
person as well then she is to take their life. That is her life’s missions now,
get people to trust her and then kill them.
Leeth was trained to do this without any emotion but I think
that may have back fired on her trainers or did it? Leeth has been taught to be
a cold hard killer without any feelings what so ever. But the thing is that
killing the person she came to care about is something that Leeth can’t seem to
shake. Leeth may be a cold hard, evil, vicious killer but she still has remorse
and regret for what she did. As a cold hard assassin, killing someone she fell
in love with bothers her very much. This is one B!tch she can’t seem to lay down.
Leeth is sent on mission after mission to take someone out.
She is sent to make that person trust her and then turn the lights out.
Although Leeth always does her job she still is not all cold hearted as she
questions herself about what she is doing. How can she do what she does? Why
does she do it when there are times when she is not so sure that is what she
wants to do? Can Leeth keep on killing and doing what she is trained to do
without fighting back? Without listening to her own heart and mind?
Violent Causes is a very intriguing and interesting story. I
liked seeing how Leeth dealt with each mission and what was in her heart. It
makes a person wonder. Is the heart stronger or is the mind stronger. Who will
win in the end? Violent Causes is filled with action from the first page but it
has so much more to offer. It has some great awesome characters with great
world building and the writing is excellent.
The words and the story just seems to jump out at you
causing you to race to the end to see how it all ends but at the same time have
you wanting to slow down a little bit so you can savor every little morsel as
it is all going too fast and the story is coming to the end. I can’t wait to
read more of Leeth’s story as the ending left me with so many questions,
question that I hope to see answered in the next book.
If you are into cold hearted assassins then I highly
recommend Violent Causes as your next book.
