Crow
I have one rule: leave no traces behind.
She compromised my identity and needs to be eliminated.
So simple, right?
Not even close.
When she welcomes death with open arms, I can’t pull the trigger.
Breaking my one rule would not only put my life in danger, but it would completely destroy hers.
Crowed is a romantic suspense, and a killer romance with tones of darkness. Crowed is an enemies to lovers romance, has no cliffhanger and no cheating, and ends on a HEA. Due to language and sexual content, this is advised for mature audience only.

This book is amazing! It has the perfect balance of angst, love, conflict and realism. Eloise’s character is very easy for me to relate to and at some parts of the book, I felt like I was reading about myself. The story has a great plot line and flows very well. I’m excited to see where the author takes us next!!
Another good read from Rina Kent
This is an assassian romance. Crow is an assassin who was programmed to not feel, but then he meets Eloise. Eloise on the other hand is deep in mourning, and does not believe she should live. These two strong personalities meet and the attraction is sizzling.
Although it is a series each book, can be read as a stand alone.
Crow. His name is deadly, he kills just to kill.
He is from the pit and part of team Zero. Eloise. She is just exsisting. She has lost everyone that she loved in this world. Except her little dog. But she also has been neglected. What happens when these two meet? It is AWESOME!! This is all I will tell you. Stories like this must be savored by the individual. Rina Kent has started a whole series of these. assassin novels. It will blow you away!
Eloise has lost her reason live. Everyone she loves has left her. She wakes up everyday and goes through the motions like a robot waiting for the moment she will once again me reunited with her loved ones.
Crow was kidnapped as a child. He was drugged and conditioned to be a killer. The poison pumped into his body makes him an assassin robot. Devoid of feelings and attachments.
What happens when two broken souls come together? This story is dark, unpredictable, and filled with just enough suspense to keep you completely immersed in the story until the very end. I look forward to reading more by this author.
This book is exciting and suspenseful. I enjoyed this book and found it to be a very intriguing start to this series. This book features Crow and Eloise’s story and it is a thrilling ride that will keep you on edge as the plot unfolds. Crow was quite the complex character. With a complicated history, current betrayal, enemies circling like sharks in bloody water and the totally unexpected pull of attraction to Eloise all weighing on him, he has too many questions, not enough answers and is rapidly running out of time. Eloise was a character that felt genuine and relatable. She has been broken by grief and loss and is suffacated by depression. She is simply going through the motions until fate brings Crow into her orbit. I loved Crow and Eloise together their chemistry was simply sizzling. Sometimes the thing you need is the last thing you’d expect, and for this trained killer and nurse that is exactly the case. Can’t wait for the next book, Ghosted.
Wow!
Yet another gripping book from Rina.
Was nice getting Crow’s story after first seeing him in Ruin. It’s true how they say how there are 2 sides to every story.
This book is a page turner that is definitely a must read.
Crowed starts off a new assassin series! Introducing us to the team and giving hints at what would come with the rest of the series. Rina Kent is a new to me author & she has done a great job hooking me with this book!
Crow & Eloise’s Story!
Crow is our anti-hero…but trust me you’ll grow to love him! Crow & the rest of Team Zero were taken off the streets as children and introduced to the Pit. Hades runs the show & along with a psycho doctor helping him out, they came up with a drug called Omega that fueled their blood lust and basically got all of Team Zero hooked on it so he wouldn’t have to question their loyalty, they would need him for their supply. Omega not only controls them, makes them lose all they’re humanity, makes them forget everything about they’re past but it’s also killing them. Crow has had enough of watching his mates, his brothers, die & decides to secretly detox himself.
Crow is out on a hit looking for an unknown target when he’s shot. While trying to escape the hospital he meets “Nurse Betty” A.K.A Eloise.
He threatens her but she’s not scared. Eloise has lost everyone that means something to her, besides her grandfather’s home & her pup Charlotte, she has nothing to live for and has accepted death, she’s living as a shell anyways.
After Crow escapes the hospital, fate steps in and Eloise and Crows path cross once again and that’s when everything changes for the both of them.
~~~”As I drown in those eyes, I become sure about one thing.
For this woman, I’d stop being Hades’ demon.
For this woman, I’d slaughter any bastard who treats her like a target.
Even Team Zero.
Because I don’t belong with them anymore, I belong with her.” – Crow ~~~
(*swooning!*)
As I said, you will eventually fall for him!
I gave Crowded 4 stars because there were a few editing and grammar issues, the grammar could possibly be because they speak in French every once in a while and maybe it’s done the way it is for a reason? I’m not sure but it didn’t take away from the book I still really enjoyed it!
If you like contemporary, suspense, thriller’s, & romance, then this book is for you! There’s a lot more of the story to come but as far as Crow & Eloise they get they’re HEA! I can’t wait to see what else Rina Kent has in store for us!
*Confessions Of A Bibliophile voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book.
4.5 down for the kill stars!! Rina is a new author to me and damn if I am not going to stalk her for life now!!!
This is the first book of the “Team Zero” series. And I can not wait for the books on the other guys!!
This is Crow and Eloise’s love story…
Crow is an assassin. That is literally all he knows. One betrayal and one gun shot leads to a whole new world. One who the leading star is a beautiful woman who he calls “Nurse Betty”. Now everything is changing…
Eloise had a great life. But now she has lost everyone she has ever cared about and now it is a struggle to continue every day. And then one gunshot and one assassin later and her whole life has new meaning…
OMG this book is great! I’m not sure if Rina has written other books but I do believe this is her first published book. And damn if it isn’t incredible. I love reading books that have a crew of guys that you fall in love with. Not only that but they are some bad asses, and their past breaks your heart.
I am in love with Crow. Eloise isn’t so bad herself. But these two together is magical. And damn if they aren’t super hot!! Ghost is also VERY intriguing. I can’t wait for the next book!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return I gave my honest review**
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This book was amazing. It was so difficult to turn the light off when I was at 70%. This book had suspense, deep emotions, intensity. Tears, warm fuzzies. I don’t want to say much, because to do so I’d be afraid of divulging spoilers. Let me say, this book amazed and so entertained me. I WILL READ THIS AGAIN, even knowing everything!
Can two broken souls to heal each other?
Absolutely loved this book. It has emotions galore, a great storyline and wonderful characters. Crow is a ruthless, remorseless killer, whose only worry is “whose next on his list”. Eloise just lost her mom and is feeling lost and alone, she feels like it’s a struggle every day just to keep going. Can these two broken souls help each other heal? Grab this book and find out. Definitely recommend it as a must read.

This book kept me speechless. There is so much being swept up into an unexpected turn going on at at each turn of the page. It has an amazing intense storyline and strong plot roaring to life
Rina Kent is a new to me author and she shows tons of promise with the start of this series. It’s full of mystery, suspense with a bit of action and heat.
However, it started out a bit on the slow side for me and I started losing interest fairly quickly so I had to put it down for a few days. But as soon as I picked it back up, things started progressing much faster and it held my attention until I reached the end.
Eloise started out as a very depressed character. She lost the last person she loved in her family and lost her own will to live, until Crow, a ruthless assassin for Team Zero, comes barreling into her life turning it upside down. They both breathe new life into each other, but Crow is dangerous and he brings that danger to Eloise.
The plot was a bit predictable in parts, but Kent has a writing style to keep up the suspense. I did feel like there needed to be a little more character interaction with Crow and Eloise to establish their connection to make me feel more heat between the two. There was a lot of internal monologue so we knew how they felt about each other internally, but I felt like we needed to see more of an outward display of affection with them.
I’m definitely intrigued by the other characters from this story and the ongoing plot so this series will be one to keep my eye on in the future.
Her family is dead and all she wants is the same so when he appears she opens her arms wide. Waiting for him to take the shot which could end it all. He is shocked when he cannot pull the trigger. What is he going to do? What will happen? See where it will take you

What a cliffhanger! This dark and suspenseful romance was amazingly good! Packed with murder, mystery, danger, darkness, kidnapping, drugs, passion, intrigue that makes it very interesting and compelling to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. I wasn’t expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! This thrilling and suspenseful story is about Crow, one of Team Zero’s notorious killers. Crow was kidnapped as a young teen and trained to become an assassin by an organization called The Pit. This tall, handsome and sexy man who thinks like a robot and out of touch with humanity, kills people without any regret and feelings to do his job—give him a name—his fee—and he will eliminate the target, no questions asked. Eloise became a nurse to take care of her ‘Maman’ and other people. Eloise was distraught when her ‘Maman’ died, and she wanted to end her numbness, but how? This is a thrilling and suspenseful story with lots of action about two battered souls who accidentally find one another. They each have their imperfections to deal with but their journey makes them realize that they can overcome anything and any impediments. This story will have you on the edge of your seat. This is the first time I read a book by Rina Kent, but I assure you it will not be the last. Rina Kent manages to weave dark and twisted plots with artfully developed main characters. Can’t wait to read the next book.
3.5
Crowed is the first book in the Team Zero Series by Rina Kent. It has a very Bourne Identity feel to it. Crow meets Eloise after a hit gone wrong and he ends up in the hospital where she is the onsite nurse.
Action packed, this romantic suspense will keep you hooked to the very last page. Drugs, no past memories, love…it has it all!
This debut novel by Rina Kent will have you anticipating book 2 in the series. She has outdone herself with this book!
