My love letter to UF:

RED-HEADED STEPCHILD - Jaye Wells

From the back of the book:

Things to do:

1. Infiltrate rival vampire cult and assassinate the leader

2. Get rid of demon houseguest

3. Ditch the hot mage stalker

4. Betray family

In a world where being of mixed blood is a major liability, Sabina doesn't really fit in. And being an assassin--the only profession fit for an outcast--doesn't help matters. But she's never brought her work home. Until now.

Her latest mission is uncomfortably complex and threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races. As Sabina scrambles to figure out which side she's on, she uncovers a tangled political web, some nasty facts about her family, and some unexpected new talents, Any of these things could be worryingly life changing, but together they could be fatal....

******************************************

It took the longest time for me to get Sabina's adventure. I have a signed copy and I have this thing with my signed copies...kind of like when you live somewhere and know that you can visit the tourist areas any time since you live there and the places will always be...well..there! My signed copies aren't leaving the shelf. They are mine to read at any time, which leaves them on the shelf for longer than unsigned ones...

Anywho...I won't let that happen next time, especially the Sabina Kane series. LOVED this book! My favorite character has to be Giguhl, the demon come to take out Sabina and has a hard time of it. He is just so funny! "Must not kill the demon cat. Must not kill the demon cat." (read the book and you'll know)....

Five will definitely not let the next one languish on the shelf beans....
