It’s the season
for treason…
The king of Yusan must die.
The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the god king Joon.He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined…or sold.
And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness―from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance.They can agree on murder.They can agree on treachery.
But for these five killers―each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal―it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other…but only one can take the crown.
Let the best liar win.
My Review
This book started off going fast and never let up. Drawn in from the first chapter, I found it incredibly hard to just put the book down to do normal life activities! There’s a total of six POV’s and each character has their own special place in my heart – however, Sora and Royo happen to be my favorites. Don’t get me wrong I loved everyone, but Royo is just a guy trying to make things right. Sora is one of the deadliest female characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. She’s a bad ass in every single way. I enjoyed watching how everyone’s story came together. The chapters are short and you will definitely fly through them. The ending of this book though… Oh my, I did not see that coming. So needless to say I will sit here ever so impatiently awaiting the next book in the series.
