![]() ![]() ![]() I freely admit that I am intrigued by the idea of an assassin hero or heroine. She had her own sense of honor, which endeared her to me. But, Kyra managed to be a heroine that I could like, although I didn't always agree with the choices she made. I admit, I don't like the idea of stealing for a living. ![]() Gray brought these characters to life in such a manner that I could feel enough respect and empathy for them that their dark ways didn't offend me. Now, to like this story you have to be willing to read about people who are morally flexible, or at least, those have a different view of morality than the norm. Like Kyra, he plys his trade on those who he feels deserves killing. On her tail is a hero who kills people for a living. But, at least she only takes money from those she thinks deserves it. In this book, we have a heroine who lives for the next con, moving from town to town, and relieving fools of their money, feeling no remorse about it. Like Fox Murder, I really want to believe.Īva Gray has written an excellent offering for those of us with a taste for the noir. I think it's my unassailable belief that love does conquer all. Sometimes I ask myself why I enjoy seeing the dark side of this genre, not depravity and kinky deeds, cheating heroes, and bickering, but heroes and heroines who are more like antiheroes and villains, who find love and their happy ever after. Ever watch a movie and wonder, 'What if the villain ran off with the femme fatale?' Then you might like this book. ![]()
