When Slade becomes her guardian he starts to realize that he can't ignore the attraction between. As they both start to become more to each other, the past for each of them come to light. Will they survive the past to have a future together? I just love the characters in this book! There's so much to them that just when you think you know it all something else is revealed. There's heat with the suspense that give you everything you can want in a book plus surprises! I can't wait to find out what happens next to the characters, bound to be very interesting! I received this in exchange for a honest review.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review I love how Stephanie writes, her magic pulls you in and just weaves the world around you to the point you feel you know these characters. Slade/The Black Swan will absolutely break your heart, he has suffered so much that now he has completely become unemotional and the perfect assassin. Anya is his target but things change in an instant, I do not want to give anything away but say I laughed and cried so many times while reading this book. Killian I feel is so much like Slade that you can't help but love him too and I cannot wait for his book, and Julia will have to have her story told too. Lots of action in this book I Highly recommend

Omg what a fantastic read. When Slade, an assassin know as the Black Swan takes on an assignment to kill Anya, it is the beginning of something that will change his life completely. There's something different about Anya, why has she been targeted to die ? Who is hunting her ? Slade and Anya's fates are entwined and in this struggle against the forces targeting rare shifters, can a solitary heartless assassin change everything he's lived by ? I loved everything about this story, the characters, the plot, the twists, they all combined to make a fast paced riveting read that had me glued till the last page and left me wanting more. I can't wait to see what happens next with the Shadow Guardians, I for one will be waiting eagerly for the next book.
