Midnight Thief
by Livia Blackburne
Series: Midnight Thief #1
Publication Date: 08 July 2014
by Disney-Hyperion
Growing up on Forge’s streets has taught Kyra how to stretch a coin. And when that’s not enough, her uncanny ability to scale walls and bypass guards helps her take what she needs.
But when the leader of the Assassins Guild offers Kyra a lucrative job, she hesitates. She knows how to get by on her own, and she’s not sure she wants to play by his rules. But he’s persistent—and darkly attractive—and Kyra can’t quite resist his pull.
Tristam of Brancel is a young Palace knight on a mission. After his best friend is brutally murdered by Demon Riders, a clan of vicious warriors who ride bloodthirsty wildcats, Tristam vows to take them down. But as his investigation deepens, he finds his efforts thwarted by a talented thief, one who sneaks past Palace defenses with uncanny ease.
When a fateful raid throws Kyra and Tristam together, the two enemies realize that their best chance at survival—and vengeance—might be to join forces. And as their loyalties are tested to the breaking point, they learn a startling secret about Kyra’s past that threatens to reshape both their lives.
In her arresting debut novel, Livia Blackburne creates a captivating world where intrigue prowls around every corner—and danger is a way of life.

As soon as I found out Midnight Thief was YA fantasy, I simply had to read it. I’m a fantasy addict after all! Despite the “Assassins Guild” part being eerily similar to that of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, everything else sounds utterly fantastic! And I do so love relationships where the characters start off as enemies but end up closer. ;)
What book are you waiting on this week?

See, I thought it was Adult at first so I didn’t really take much notice of it, haha. Which is why I shouldn’t judge books by their covers. :/ Sounds amazing though! :)

Sadly, I was not able to get an eARC of this one from NetGalley so I have to wait until release day to get my hands on this book. But I loved Poison Dance and really enjoyed Livia Blackburne’s writing style so I’m still really, really looking forward to this one. Great pick!
Here’s my WoW pick :)
