Oooooh the suspense! Eden and Xander are a super hot couple. She was sent to kill him after he didnt pay back her father the money they he owed. But once she was with him she realized that she just couldn’t take his life. They then started to have a relationship. When she gets a call to leave town to deal with some other business she has to take him with her because she told her father that she had killed him. So they went on a road trip. He spent a good part of it being angry at her for the lies that she told him, but eventually came around. But then her family finds out that she did not kill him and that they are off together. There was a ton of suspense and a cliffhanger ending…. now I am waiting for the next installment.
At the beginning there was a part that was quite detailed in the explanation of what she does to the person she has to get rid of. I was a bit nervous that I was not going to be able to handle the rest, but I stuck it out and really that was the worst of the graphic explanations.
After seeing the cover and the blurb of this book I was very much intrigued and with a title of X-394 who would not be drawn in to know more. This book did start a little slow but do not let that put you off as once this book gets running you will not want to put it down. The life that Eden has been exposed to based on her family and what her job is, does not really allow for love but then along comes Xander a man she should definitely not have any feelings for. Their story will captivate you and have you hanging on to every word as lies are told, secrets are exposed and hearts become entangled. The chemistry that Eden and Xander have draws you into their complicated tale and the road blocks that are thrown at them at every turn. Loyalties to family will push Eden to the extreme and your heart will break as she is torn between the man that is the air that she breathes and the family and the life she has always known and loved. This book is a must read for all those that love suspense, drama and a love that develops from a situation that you would never expect.
What an action-packed book! This was my first Dee Garcia book and after reading this one, I am chewing my nails waiting for book 2 to be released!
Eden Scarsi is a trained killer, going by the name of The Silent Reaper. She is given the packet on all that have made it to the list and one by one she eliminates them.
Xander Royce has had nothing but bad luck in his life. Trying to take care of his mother who is ill and running a car repair business that is failing, he has borrowed his last dime from the Scarsi family.
In the end, you have to wonder… will they succeed at going from the hunter…To the hunted…
Intense and action-packed! X-394 kept me on the edge of my seat. Such a great start to the Scarsi Family series. From the very beginning I loved Eden’s kickass character. She’s fierce, fearless, and very talented in what she does. She takes no crap from no one, even her own family. Xander’s character is so swoon worthy. He’s selfless, caring, protective and hot to boot. Both of them together had great chemistry and balanced eachother out.
Reading the blurb and it being pretty vague, I didn’t know what to expect from this story. This being my first book from Dee Garcia, I can honestly say I wasn’t disappointed at all. So glad to be introduced to these amazing characters especially one as badass as Eden who doesn’t care what she needs to do to get her point across. Even when shes at her most vulnerable showing us her softer side. Really enjoyed reading about all the Scarsi Family and their ruthlessness. I really hope we get to hear from some of the other brothers’ POV in the future. Like the scary yet tempting Alessio Scarsi. (wink, wink)
Dee did a great job with Eden and Xander’s story. I loved them, and left me wanting for more! I can’t wait for book 2 and see what all of them are up to next!
