Blurb: She never chose
her deadly gift but now she’s forced to use it. How far would you go to protect
the only family you have left?
Annie is beset by
fleeting strange visions and a guilty conscience. Blind and orphaned, she
struggles to care for her feisty younger sister Fia, but things look up when
both sisters are offered a place at Kessler School for Exceptional Girls.
Born with flawless
intuition, Fia immediately knows that something’s wrong, but bites her tongue…
until it’s too late. For Fia is the perfect weapon to carry out criminal plans
and there are those at Kessler who will do anything to ensure her co-operation.
With Annie trapped
in Kessler’s sinister clutches, instincts keep Fia from killing an innocent guy
and everything unravels. Is manipulative James the key to the sisters’ freedom
or an even darker prison? And how can Fia atone for the blood on her hands?
There
are specific things you look for when reading a book for example the structure,
the plot and the characters. The structure for Sister Assassin didn`t work for
me at all, it made the book annoying and incredibly boring and I just couldn`t
connect with any of the characters. It contained both multi povs and
flashbacks. Multi povs only really suit some books mostly romance novels and if
you’re going to add flashbacks make them useful! Adding both together was so
bloody awful. The flashbacks made the story so dull that it got on my nerves
and made the story repetitive. In total the book literally told me three things;
Fia is a crazy ass fighter who is forced to do the dirty work for the Keane
organisation, Annie is a seer who is locked up as bait for Fia and they both
have issues.
Fia
is an impulsive, mentally and physically scarred 17 year old who from a very
young age knows to trust her instincts. What really annoyed me in the beginning
is that she gave up everything; her sister and her life for a frickin boy who she
doesn`t even know! And she’s supposed to be this psycho killer – yeah, no, she
wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong she could kick butt.
Fia
has good instincts but she hardly ever trusts them, all she ever does is pity
herself and then think of the consequences of her actions on her sister after
she’s done whatever she’s done.
Annie
is the older sister by 2 years and she’s a blind seer who has visions of the
future and that’s the reason the girls are at this school. When Annie first
came to the school she trusted to easily and now that Fia is more useful to the
school than Annie they’ve locked her up. All Annie’s povs were just of her
feeling guilty and worrying over Fia. Real interesting
Then
there was the romance element – two boys, one good and one bad. Which one does
she go for – it isn`t hard to guess.
However
at the ending- I was like you spent most of your life protecting your sister
just to do that…
