Synopsis (Goodreads):
Fox is a demon-possessed immortal with many talents.Thoughts on The Darkest Assassin: I'm excited that Fox is getting her chance to find her special someone, but I'm really really REALLY thrilled to see one of the terrible trio (not their real name!) getting the chance to find his happy place. I mean, Bjorn's been through A LOT (all three of the Downfall angels have), not the least of which is being life-bonded against his will to a shadow queen who's been merrily draining the life out of him.
Ability to open portals—check
Power to kill the most dangerous Sent Ones—check
Scare away any man who might want to date her—mate
Now, the keeper of Distrust has been marked for death, a winged assassin with rainbow-colored eyes tracking her every move, determined to avenge the males she accidentally decimated. If only she could control the desire to rip off his clothes…
Bjorn is a fierce warrior with many complications.
Tragic, torture-filled past—check
A wife he was forced to wed, who is draining his life force—check
Ever-intensifying desire for the enigmatic Fox—mate
Never has he hesitated to exterminate an evil being. Until now. The sharp-tongued female with a shockingly vulnerable heart tempts him in ways no one else ever has, threatening his iron control.
But, as Fate itself seems to conspire against the unlikely pair, both old and new enemies emerge. And Fox and Bjorn must fight to survive.
And learn to love…
Basically, if anyone deserves a chance at a HEA, it's Bjorn and his boys. (Which has me crossing my fingers that Xerxes is on the list of Angels Who Need a Story.)
So. Fox, BFF of Galen and current keeper of Distrust, is...not having a great day. While under the influence of her demon she miiiight have caused a little mayhem and killed a few angels. Which isn't good. Especially when Bjorn shows up to exact her punishment. The punishment being death.
Except...Bjorn kind of likes the sassy Fox and, instead of killing her, he spirits her away to Downfall where a series of events start to unfold. Starting with Bjorn being summoned by his soul-sucking wife and ending with Thane and Xerxes exacting a little punishment on Fox when they misunderstand that she tried to save him after said soul-sucking. It's not pretty. And Bjorn is VERY NOT HAPPY about what was done.
But, but but but things work out for the best and soon Fox and the big guy are cuddling up (literally) and teaming up (also literally) to have each others' backs. Sure, Bjorn is a little bone-headed at times and he doesn't always do the right thing, but he gets where he needs to be eventually. And Fox puts aside her hurt when she realizes that hanging onto it might separate her (permanently) from the guy who makes her heart go pitter-patter.
The terrible trio (still not their real name), a whole lot of blood and guts, a deeply unhinged shadow queen, and two people who figure out their exactly what the other needs. *thumbs up*
