Cameo the Assassin opens with a heart-rending scene; a woman is lying in a field after a brutal attack that left her little sister dead, she herself clinging to life. As she’s lying there in her own thoughts, a man comes and bites her, and suddenly she finds the strength to flee.
Several years later Cameo, a well-known assassin with a group known as the Associates, is given an assignment: to kill Leon Belfour, Prince of Sieunes, and heir to the throne. On her way to do the dirty deed
Cameo’s coach is robbed by two highwaymen. Through a series of events Cameo and the highwaymen find their fates intertwined, especially after they find themselves wanted for the Prince's murder. The suspense builds as Cameo’s past comes to light and the group finds themselves on the run for their lives, and from a force not as easily escapable as the authorities or assassins.
Confession:
I really fell in love with this book. I have to admit, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I had no idea the paranormal elements the story had, and the twists it would take. I LOVED the characters; I cannot even describe how much I LOVED the characters. The highwaymen and Cameo, they make a group of misfits that left me in fits of laughter at times! Especially Black Opal, with his penchant for fine clothes, wearing make-up, his shameless flirting and witty banter left me smiling. Cameo is tough as nails, kick’n butt and takin’ names, and yet she has a soft side too that comes through.
I am so excited to read the next book in the series, Cameo and the Highwayman!
