Crowed (Team Zero Series) by Rina Kent
Review by Leah How on earth is this your first published book lady!!?!?! Crowned by Rina Kent needs to be on your TBR list like now! Go ahead and just click that “Want to Read” button and then read once released. This whole book is so good! I felt like it was an extension to one of the Bourne Identity movies, which I am totally addicted to. This book has that adventure, suspense, crazy angst, and wonderful characters. Eloise has just lost her mother and now is on her own, no one left. For the past six years, all she had done is take care of her mother. She is the nurturer, a giver, always giving 110% of herself to others. Now by herself, she is fighting a battle each day to keep one foot in front of the other. The way Rina Kent describes Eloise is spot on. Once that portion of your life is gone, you don’t know what to do with yourself. Hopefully, you will eventually find yourself or meet someone that shows you how to live again. Which is where Crow comes in. Crow was kidnapped by Hades as a young child and molded into a contract killer for Hades' Team Zero. Emotionally detached to the world due to the drug regimen Hades each member of Team Zero on, Crow lives one contract to the next. But once he finds out what the drug is doing to his body, he starts second guessing everything. He even goes to the extreme of trying detox by himself which lands him in a hospital room with “Nurse Betty”, Eloise (his nickname for her). Have I mentioned Eloise estranged father made the drug? No? Crow did not know that at first and neither did Eloise. That makes for some interesting scenes. Their chemistry is crazy. It is not all sexual at first, but with the chemistry between these two, you know they need each other. Yes, the chemistry does become more sexual but it is not thrown in your face. Rina weaves the story so well. The entire book is perfectly balanced. I cannot wait for book two with Ghost! The building of characters of Team Zero members (Crow’s assassination team) and them taking down Hades, I am excited about this series. **ARC received in exchange for an honest review**
