Overview:
Seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana is a trained assassin. She was born into one of the nine clipper Families in the kingdom of Lovero who lawfully take lives for a price. As a member of the highest-ranking clan, loyalty to Family is valued above all, but that doesn't stop Lea from getting into a secret relationship with Val Da Via, a boy from a rival clan. Despite her better judgment, Lea has fallen in love with him; but she's confident she can anticipate any threat a mile away.
Then she awakens one night to a house full of smoke. Although she narrowly escapes, she isn't able to save her Family as their home is consumed by flames. With horror, she realises that Val and his Family are the only ones who could be responsible. Devastated over his betrayal and the loss of her clan, there's just one thing on her mind: making the Da Vias pay. The heart of this assassin craves revenge.

Review:
As you all know, I'm a coverlover. In this case the simple style of the cover caught my attention straight away. It is beautiful and also represents the story perfectly.
Sarah's writing style is great. She writes very detailed and thrilling. I never got bored with the story and I haven't found any dull scenes in the whole book. The story is also definitely full with the kind of action, which fascinated me all the time.
The author created amazing characters.
Lea is a very strong personality. She is the perfect assassin and absolutely deadly but she is also loving and kind. She seemed really sympathetic to me from the very beginning of this book. In the early parts of the story, you would think that she is free of any fears. But while you dive into her adventure, you will notice that she is not fearless. She is strong, has courage and faith and never loses any of it during her huge adventure. It is an adventure, which could cost her life.
You will also meet Val. He seems kind, loving and despite the fact that he's an assassin and should be Lea's rival, they seem to love each other. But are they really in love and who has Val's loyality? Is it Lea or is it his Familiy?
Les is another character, you will stumble across. He is an easy going guy, who seems totally carefree and loving. Les doesn't care about the opinions of others and knows how to live through the days and nights in his hometown. The paths of Lea and Les will cross sooner or later in this story but what happens then? Find it out by joining Lea on her journey to revenge her Family's death.
You will of course get to know more characters, while reading this story. I intentionally don't tell you more about her enemies but you should know one thing for sure: I wouldn't wish for my worst enemy to cross ways with the bad guys in this book!
'Assassin's Heart' is a story about a hard life, which opens your eyes about the truly important things in life: Family. True, loyal friends. Love.
It is a sad, emotional, sometimes even brutal book but all up it is an absolutely amazing story.
I'm looking forward to read more from Sarah Ahiers and I can highly recommend this book to everybody, who wants to jump into an adventure full of action.
