#BookReview – “The Hitman’s Masquerade” by Alexis Abbott

Blurb

I might be a killer, but I'll risk my life to save her 

Sonya's supposed to be celebrating. A Halloween party to bring together all her friends and the biggest names in New York City before she departs overseas to tour with a prestigious ballet company. 

But the problem is that her guest list also contains some of the most dangerous men in the city. And at a costume party, no one is really who they say they are. That's why I'm here. To protect her. It's not just business, or Andrei Petrov's orders. Sonya is gorgeous, talented, and with the kindest eyes I've ever seen. I don't deserve a girl like that. Never have and never will. 

Someone wants her dead. I just want her. 

Tonight, only one of us will get our wish. 

Review

Sonya is a Russian ballerina leaving the United States for a vacation in Paris, and she’s celebrating her last night in the country by throwing a masquerade party.

Assigned to protect Sonya from a suspected assassin, Russian hitman Lev has secretly been in love with Sonya for a while. After he loses her in the crowd, he soon finds her in the worst of situations.

I normally don’t read first person narratives, but I thought I would give this one a chance because I like mafia books. I haven’t read the other books in the Hitmen series, and since this story was so short, I didn’t feel like I got to know the H/h or the other characters.

There were a few typos, but the story was fast paced and kept my attention.
