Bjorn, one of the Sent Ones, the One True Dread, was tasked with executing the killer who took out ten of his brethren. Fox the Executioner knew she deserved some sort of punishment for what she had done. She also believed that she should have been shown some lenience or understanding because she didn't want to kill those warriors - it wasn't her fault that the demon who possessed her, Distrust, went a little (a lot) nuts. Their initial meeting didn't go as planned... she's naked, he can't look away from any part of her, and they're both distracted. It made for some crazy hot reading!!
Fox always relied on money and material things because those things would never let her down. They can't hurt her. Reality TV gives her life and her one true connection was Galen, the man who took her in when she had no one. And then Bjorn burst into her life, quickly becoming her everything, even if he planned to kill her. He was a warrior of honor, he had two best friends who were like brothers to him, and he was caught in an untenable situation he didn't know how to get out of. Forced to wed a woman he despised, he couldn't help but hunger for the one woman who was the exact opposite of everything he thought he wanted and yet was everything he needed.
Amidst the action and the underlying theme of war, a beautiful love story developed. Bjorn and Fox didn't have many reasons to trust each other and they fought their instincts hard every step of the way, denying their feelings and causing each other pain, but somehow they were able to connect in ways no one expected. They had each lived a hard life, with painful and heartwrenching pasts, and wanted more. I loved how they were the perfect complement for each other. I loved that they didn't take things lying down or allow the other to walk all over them. Fox was just as fierce as Bjorn and I loved how the author showed how much these characters appreciated and admired the qualities they found in the other. I found it impossible not to fall in love with these people and their story and how their love may not have come easily, but it was most definitely worthwhile.
Reading The Darkest Assassin was such an incredible experience! Bjorn and Fox shared the intense chemistry we all come to anticipate in an enemies-to-lovers story and it was beyond delicious! They were engaged in a dance of death and it was hypnotic, enchanting, and lethal. I think one of the best things about this story was the fact that I had already read Baden's story, where he was the original holder of the demon, Distrust, and I got the chance to compare his horrific journey with the one Fox had to face. At least she hasn't gone crazy yet, determined to die in order to escape her fate. If you want to know more about Baden, check out The Darkest Torment. As for Bjorn and Fox, their story was absolutely perfect for paranormal romance readers everywhere!

Ok this was fun. A lot of pulls and pushes, sarcastic banter and male idiocy.
Some hints on William's story too.
A nice novella to finally finish the story of Bjorn!

An assasin who houses the demon of Distrust and a Sent One tasked with killing her! Fun tones galore! And yet they find their HEA! I love this series and so will you, if you love sass, humour and some amazing alpha heroes or rather anti heroes! While it’s a stand-alone, it would definite better if you pick up the whole series in order!
