Review: Blood Assassin (The Sentinels #2) by Alexandra Ivy

They are the outcasts of humanity. Blessed with power. Cursed by fate. Driven by passion. The Sentinels have returned. . .


Out Of The Shadows

At six-foot-three and two-hundred-fifty pounds, Fane is a natural born guardian. A flawless mix of muscled perfection and steely precision, he has devoted years of his life to protecting a beautiful necromancer. But after she found love in the arms of another, Fane has been a warrior adrift. He swears allegiance only to the Sentinels. And no woman will ever rule his heart again. . .

Into The Fire

Not only a powerful psychic, Serra is that rare telepath who can connect to minds through objects. When the daughter of a high-blood businessman is kidnapped, Serra agrees to help. But when she stumbles onto a conspiracy involving secrets sects and ancient relics, her life is in mortal danger--and Fane is her only hope. Is the warrior willing to risk his body, his soul, and his heart, for Serra? Or will one last betrayal destroy them both? 

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆

They protect humanity from those that would enslave. They are the unsung heroes that give their lives and the use of their gifts willingly when called upon.  To the majority they are freaks and are beneath normal humans.  This is the second book in Ms. Ivy’s series The Sentinels and it continues Fane’s story.   

Fane is a guardian that has trained all his life to protect and defend.  His assignment as guardian to Callie Brown, a high-blood, has come to an end when she falls in love and bonds with her mate. This is a very unusual thing for a guardian since they are usually bound for life.   He is a warrior without someone to guard and so he pledges himself to the Sentinels and no one else.   If only he can deny his attraction Serra, a beautiful high-blood with unique gifts!  She is the one that can slip beneath his guard and make him forget his plans, his responsibilities. 

Serra wants Fane and now that he is no longer Callie’s guardian, she sees no reason why she cannot have him.  When Serra approaches Fane and tries to connect with him, he turns her down once again.  He is leaving and return to monastery, where he will remain and there is no room for Serra in his plans.  Broken hearted that he would leave her, Serra returns to her quarters.  Serra finds herself kidnapped and forced into leaving the sanctuary of Valhalla.  Will Serra survive the plan her kidnapper has for her?  Why do they need her special gift?

As soon as it is known that Serra is missing, Fane goes into warrior mode and follows.  He pledges to find her and keep her safe but is that possible?  But, can Fane keep his heart safe while protecting Serra?   Is there more to what is happening than what they see?  Is there evil intent behind the events that are unfolding?
