The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin by Jennifer Cody

5.0

I just can't help but be charmed by these books and I can't stop reading them! I had plans for how my October reading would start and I'm throwing them out the window. This book had all of the hilarious commentary of the last one, more relationship building, a new family member, heaping helpings of angry, vengeance-fueled blood magic, and a little side of spice to top it all off. The way that Fox and Romily love Bellamy feels like it should be so ridiculous and unbelievable, but somehow it feels completely right and it makes more sense than I feel it has any right to 😂 But the fact that he has grown to love them back so genuinely is what makes this book both incredibly heart warming to read and also absolutely gut wrenching. My anger at whomever it was that had Bellamy taken grew right alongside Fox and Romily's. Not only did his abduction cause Romily and Fox extreme distress, but it also had poor Edovard scared and upset. I'm dying to learn more about Edovard in the next books, because there are so many things we half-learned about him and he's such a sweet and interesting character already! I'm really just looking forward to reading more of this story!
