Somewhere between playing a role and actually living it, the lines between pretend and real blur in the most dangerous way.

Shadow Kin by M.J. Scott

She is the Night World’s most feared weapon, a wraith assassin raised by a Blood Lord and chained to the shadows by a need only he can fulfill. Her orders are simple: kill the human mage Simon DuCaine before he becomes a problem. But Simon wields pure light, leaving her powerless and captured, and where most men would end her life, he sees something in her that nobody else ever has. MJ Scott builds a darkly intoxicating world of Fae, Blood Lords, and ancient enmities that pulls you under from the very first page. To claim her freedom she must trust a man sworn to peace, and hope that trust does not tip an entire city into war. Fans of Sarah J Maas who crave a dark, steamy, and deeply intense enemies to lovers romantasy will find their next binge-worthy obsession waiting inside Shadow Kin!

What people are saying: “I loved it, very unusual plot, kind of a mix of Urban and Fantasy. Well written. I will read the rest of the series.” – PollyBennett, B&N Reviewer
