Prince and Assassin wasn’t quite my cup of tea, but I had fun & would recommend it to anyone who wants a light romance fantasy to dive into.
Whisper has been raised to be an elite assassin, forced to successfully complete assignments or face his own death thanks to the blood magic that controls him. He’s never had trouble with a job, until he has to infiltrate playboy Prince Julien’s court. When Whisper and Julien start to get tangled up in something real, he doesn’t know how he’ll be able to pull this off, especially since there’s more than his life on the line this time.
It was insta-lovey, and the world and characters felt pretty cookie cutter. You could see the antagonist and plot “twists” from a mile away, and many of the story elements were too convenient.
But. I loved the fellcats. I would die for the fellcats. I would read 3000 more books about the fellcats.
(The fellcats are basically talking magical tigers with attitudes.)
