Title: Blamed Blood Money #1
Author: Edie Harris
Review: Beth
Faraday started her teenage years a little different than most because at 16
she carried out her first hit for hire and since then has become one of the
most feared assassins. Then one day
after a job went south Beth decided to walk away and create a normal life for
herself. She owns a condo, dates chefs
but every night she still sleeps with a gun under her pillow. One night she realizes the life she left
behind has followed her to her new home and Beth is forced to flee and to follow an MI6 agent back into the world she
left behind with the support of her family.
Where to
start this book has everything a suspense novel should have, sexy spies, really
creepy villains, supportive family, exotic locations, smart dialog that keeps
the story moving forward and enough action to keep the reader reading until the
very last page and still it will have the reader beg for more.
Beth is a
well thought out character with flaws, a big heart, and moments that will pull
at your heart strings. Edie Harries created a character that will have the reader
crying along side as she struggles with her heart and mind. Everything about Beth is believable- the way
she acts with her brothers, sister and father, the way she converse with the
MI6 agent and the way she struggles to survive and keep the life she has
created. Edie Harris made Beth come off the pages to the point the readers
feels as if they are in the room with her while she was getting tortured.
The author
tells Beth's story amazingly well and the characters popped off the page making
the reader want more even after the last page is turned.
The book
has sex, swearing and violence which all seem to flow natural throughout the
book. I will admit I am on pins and
needles waiting for the next book in the series.

Synopsis: Born into a long line of spies, sanctioned
killers and covert weapons developers, Beth Faraday carried out her first
hit-for-hire when she was still a teenager.
That part of her life—the American spy royalty
part—ended one year ago, with a job gone wrong in Afghanistan. The collateral
damage she caused with a single shot was unfathomable and, for Beth,
unforgivable. She’s worked hard to build a new life for herself, far away from
the family business.
But someone, somewhere, hasn’t forgotten what Beth
did in Kabul. And they want revenge.
As the Faraday clan bands together to defend Beth
and protect their legacy, Beth is forced to flee her new home with the
unlikeliest of allies—MI6 agent Raleigh Vick, the only man she’s ever loved.
And the one she thought she’d killed in the desert.
