Review: My Fair Assassin

My Fair Assassin by C.J. Anaya
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That’s it; I’m officially caught up with C.J. Anaya’s work.

When I found the first three books in The Healer series in a Goodreads giveaway, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough to join her mailing list and then her advance read time. My first introduction to her work was through Marry Your Billionaire. It was a surprisingly wonderful read. I say surprising, because I don’t usually enjoy romances as much as I enjoyed that book. I then went on to read the first three of The Healer books, and I’m now anxiously awaiting the final book in the series. I’ve also read her other short stories. My Fair Assassin spent all this time sitting on my Kindle. It was accidental, though. I have so much stuff on there that things often slip down my reading list and I focus upon other reads. I finally worked around to it, though.

As with all of her other work, My Fair Assassin is a great read. It’s short and sweet, meaning there are some clichés to be seen. However, with stories that are a mere handful of pages long, I can accept such a thing. The important aspect was that the story was enjoyable and the characters great.

Anaya has a way with words, you see. The story is quickly brought to life, with the characters jumping out of the page. This was but a handful of pages, yet I found myself loving the interaction of the characters. In fact, I would gladly read more about these characters. Actually, the same is true about the world she created. We’re merely given brief information, yet I can imagine entire stories being created out of what we’re told about the fae world. Honestly, I’m so down for a full-length novel to come from this.

Overall, a great read. I highly suggest you sign up to C.J. Anaya’s mailing list. All of her work is wonderful, plus you’ll get a copy of this little beauty. I promise you won’t regret the choice!
