For centuries, Serena served as an assassin for one of the most influential forces throughout history-the Catholic Church. Lately, the only assassinations she has in mind are her relationship with Nicholai, and his propensity to lose their mortgage money at the poker table. That is until a Nicholai's human descendant is murdered, and he's the prime suspect. As the body count rises, Serena and Nicholai are forced to question everything they believed true and work together, to track down the killer before it's too late.If you like Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Linsey Hall, or Laurell K Hamilton, you will LOVE the first installment of the Sinistra Die series.Praise for the Sinistra Dei series:Brutal, cruel, tender and sexy - A story of choices and long-lasting consequences of frivolous decisions and the impact of your choices on those you love. - Amazon ReaderThe story is full of surprises, particularly the end, and is well written, though in a clipped style.
