Eve and Jinx are two tough characters who dominate the pages in this book. While reading I noticed that the characters had some dry humor. That’s if you got their meaning. I also noticed that this story is sort of like a prequel to the next book. The writer did a good job with introducing the new characters and providing the background to each group of new characters. The story moved pretty fast. There are a few moments where the book has some exciting entertainment.

I love the world of the League and it was amazing to start seeing the world before the first book. My only peeve is that the story was too damn short, which also makes the romance a little less believable. It was much easier to believe Adron and Livia's romance as there was much more plot and build up.

insta-love some times, but this was too much. haha. They only saw each other like 5 times - it happened far too quickly for my liking.mina_reads_30's review against another edition

Eve Erixour (Jayne's older sister) is a mercenary and has a lot of enemies. She is “rescued” by Jinx, a second commander League Assasin, who in turn is rescued from a mortal wound by Eve. Their romance is super fast (its a 90-page novella so they got it going in the second chapter). Their romance is forbidden and full of secrets - Eve needs someone in the League to help rescue her sister (Jayne) from jail. Meanwhile, Jinx is being hunted down by other League Assassins.
The novella is set a few years before Born of Night (Nykyrian Quikiades story) and what I assume is the beginnings of The Sentalla as an illegal organization. We see a little of Nykyrian as a League Assasin and a mention of a “Syn”. The story was short and brief, there wasn't much drama outside of the whole assassination attempt. I wish it was a little longer - usually the Leasuge Assassins are taken as children and they grow up to be “good” adults that need a lot of love.

It was enjoyable but very short. I’m excited to read more in this series, but I was disappointed. I was hoping for a journey. I kind of felt like I got a couple slides out of a slide show. Admittedly, if I had done my research I would have known what to expect.
What was there was good.
