Angel of Death (Broken Mercenaries #2)

By: S. Massery 

Blurb

Griffin
I’ve been living in the darkness for so long, I’ve forgotten what the light feels like.

Secrecy has kept me alive, because the amount of people who want me dead? Let's just say it's a long list. When my identity gets into the wrong hands, the person I hold most dear in the world is thrown into danger. Shedding my darkness and rescuing Hadley from my enemies is an easy choice to make.

If only I didn’t have to rescue her from herself, as well.

Hadley
My guardian angel—the boy I almost fell in love with—disappeared five years ago.

When he returns, hunting men who want to use me against him, my relief is overshadowed by doubt. I’ve been holding onto my own secrets for far too long, and learning to trust Griffin again doesn’t come easily. He wants to sweep me away to Europe, where I always dreamed of going, to keep me safe.

If only my dream wasn’t about to turn into a nightmare.

This deliciously slow burn childhood friends-to-lovers romantic suspense is the second installment in the Broken Mercenaries series. Make sure to read BLOOD SKY before devouring this thrilling story.

My Thoughts and Review

"When I was younger, I had a guardian angel. He watched over me, and I... I tried not to fall in love with him. There were countless times he came to my rescue, and even when he moved away, he always came back for me- until he stopped." Hadley, Angel of Death

This is an amazing sequel to Blood Sky, although I would definitely say this could be read as a stand alone. Griffin is such a strong, loner of a man who tends to self isolate himself. He has known Hadley for most of his life, and kept a watchful eye over her. Hadley is a woman with her own secrets, and living life on a clock. When Griffin reappears in her life he brings danger and adventure, and maybe if she's lucky something more.

This story is like a roller coaster. So many ups and downs in their adventure keeps you wanting to turn the page. It has it's funny moments, romantic moments, and suspenseful moments. Everything you could possibly desire all in one place. The supporting characters are also incredibly well written, and leave you dying to read their stories. The loyalty between the mercenaries (Jackson, Griffin, Dalton, Mason, and Zach) is something that I think everyone should have, but unfortunately we don't all get.

"Hadley, I'm fucking terrified of planes and I've been on three in the past six months. If that isn't loyalty, I don't know what is." Dalton, Angel of Death

I have read S. Massery's other books as well, and love seeing how her style and skill develop and improve with each work. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the Broken Mercenaries series.
