Will I love The Assassin's Curse?

A pirate heroine!!!

The Assassin’s Curse was SUCH a good read – all I can say is a pirate heroine. No, no… a little more. Clark breathes such enchantment into her world, and the character relationships are so beautiful and realistic, not to mention the underlying Arabic myth and the history bleeding into this book.

I love love love feisty, take-no-shit heroines, and Ananna was everything.

I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, and this one has it! Pirate Ananna nearly escapes a forced marriage into another pirate clan, but her freedom comes at a cost—an assassin sent to kill her. Hold on to your hats because this book has adventure, romance, curses, and more! You’ll fall in love with the world and the characters as they leap off the pages! 

Talking about romanticizing assassins. The main character, Ananna, is a pirate’s daughter, and assassins are the only people she truly fears – until her fate becomes irreversibly tied to one. Naji is a blood magician who travels through shadows and never misses a mark – until a curse binds him to his target, Ananna. 

I absolutely love the characters in this book. Naji is both powerful and flawed, and the combination is really irresistible in someone so good at what he does. He is by far the older and more experienced of the pair, yet Ananna is every bit his… show more.
