If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope - especially when the hero and heroine hate each other so much, they actually want each other dead. With her abilities, she doesn't need a knife to kill him and with her unassuming looks, it's all too easy to cause Celino to let down his guard. It's easy to worm her way into his heart - when being prepped for marriage, she learned everything about him, from his favorite recipes, to his thoughts on literature, to what he prefers in a woman. Now impossibly strong and filled with the desire for vengeance, Meli has decided to kill Celino at her family's urging. The two of them had been arranged to be married by their families as children, but Celino broke off the engagement after he had become a one-man economic superpower, breaking Meli's teenage heart, as well. The heroine of this story, Meli, has a rare gene that allows her to wield what I think is an electromagnetic whip on her wrist that can make heads literally roll, while the hero, Celino, is impossibly fast and deadly with a blade. SILENT BLADE is set on another planet, post-Earth, where humans have been genetically modified to have special abilities. I can definitely see the comparison to Hidden Legacy, although there's elements of The Innkeeper Chronicles as well. Luckily, both short stories are now back in print, and when I saw SILENT BLADE for 99-cents, I bought it immediately. But until recently, both SILENT BLADE and SILVER SHARK were both out of print, and I could only read the reviews of my friends, who were smart enough to buy the books when they first came out, with envy. SILENT BLADE has been on my radar for a while now ever since someone on my friends list essentially said that it as Hidden Legacy 1.0 and trust me when I say that I would gladly pay money to revisit one of my favorite book series of all-time, even when written in a slightly inferior format.
That was a trick question because obviously the answer is no. Is there anything by Ilona Andrews I won't read? Lol, JK.
