I knew the
minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He
came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy
aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly.
My father is set to become the next governor of Georgia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull.

I wanted
something more.
I wanted Levi. And I had him—until I woke up, disoriented and confused, at his mercy. He’s a bad boy, all right. A sexy, deadly assassin. And I'm the pawn torn between him and my father, two powerful men intent on destroying each other.
I might not understand their war, but I do understand one thing: no matter who wins, I lose.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
Assassin's Mark is the first full-length book in the Assassins series by Ella Sheridan. There is a short prequel that sets up the story for this book.
The author is a hit or miss for me and I am afraid it leans towards the miss most of the time. I think that the author writes weak heroines. Of course, Abby is a virgin when she meets Levi and immediately sleeps with him, cauz reasons. Then he drugs her, she fights her captor for 5 seconds top and allows him to finger fuck her. That is the definition of a badass heroine. She didn't even question Levi or anything he told her and plainly accepted everything. Other women in this book were more feisty and reacted as someone in their position should. Not like a sex starved person. Levi didn't have the bad-ass vibe he had in the prequel and I felt like he was just an assassin who is not important. I skipped some parts of the book (5-10 chapters I think) because I just wanted to finish the book. The ending was as predictable as one can imagine and overall I was very disappointed with this book. Levi and Abby's story will continue in a second (or third if you count the prequel) book and I swear if I hadn't gotten the ARC for it before I could reach the PR company, I wouldn't even think of reading it.

Excerpt
“Get your ass outside right this minute, Abigail, and wait
for Charlie to arrive. I won’t have you shaming this family.”
I was bringing shame to our family? Me? My father
expected me to marry for his convenience, for the good of his political career,
but I was the shameful one? I squeezed down on the cell, the sound of plastic
creaking in protest satisfying something inside me that ached to burst free.
Too bad I wasn’t strong enough to pulverize the damn thing.
And yet, a large part of me believed him. Always had. After all,
if I wasn’t shameful, he would love me, right?
No. Wrong. You’re not going to let that bastard poison
you anymore, Abby.
I wasn’t the Hulk, able to crush a cell phone with a single
twitch of my fingers, but I was strong enough to drop it into the trash can
full of wet paper towels and walk out of the bathroom without looking back. In
the hall, the sight of Levi leaning against the wall, obviously waiting, hands
stuffed into his pockets, brought me to an abrupt stop. My mouth went dry. I’d
spent my life trying to please a man, and look where that had gotten me.
I was already bringing shame to the Roslyn name;
maybe I should embrace the role instead of letting my father’s words cut me to
pieces.
I moved closer. One side of Levi’s mouth tilted up, and he wrapped
those big hands around my hips the minute I came within reach. A gravelly
rumble escaped him, sinking beneath my skin and sending shivers to the deepest
part of my being. Heavy-lidded eyes devoured me, shouting a desire I found hard
to believe, but it was there nonetheless. Hunger. Pleasure. That look sent a
surge of desperation so strong through me that I couldn’t speak if I’d wanted
to.
It’s now or never, Abby.
I didn’t stop or slow. I moved into his space until my body
was pressed firmly against his, lifted my chin, and met the lips that lowered
to mine.

I killed my first man at the age of twelve. I've been
killing ever since. I thought it was all I lived for…until Abby. Until the
woman I'd kidnapped became the woman I couldn't walk away from.
She owns a piece of me I wouldn't take back, but the rest?
The only way to protect her is to hold back the parts inside me that are too
ugly to ever reveal. I'll keep her safe, even from me.
And it works. We have the nights, and I hunt my way through
the days. Alone.
Until an attack reveals a threat we didn't see coming. One
that could take away the dream I didn't realize I had.
Everything. With her.
I'm on the hunt of my life. My prey might run, but in this
fight—for her, for us—they don't stand a chance.
