review 1: Cameo the Assassin opens with a heart-rending scene; a woman is lying in a field after a brutal attack that left her little sister dead, she herself clinging to life. As she’s lying there in her own thoughts, a man comes and bites her, and suddenly she finds the strength to flee. Several years later Cameo, a well-known assassin with a group known as the Associates, is given an assignment: to kill Leon Belfour, Prince of Sieunes, and heir to the throne. On her way to do the dirty deed Cameo’s coach is robbed by two highwaymen. Through a series of events Cameo and the highwaymen find their fates intertwined, especially after they find themselves wanted for the Prince's murder. The suspense builds as Cameo’s past comes to light and the group finds themselves on the run ... morefor their lives, and from a force not as easily escapable as the authorities or assassins. Confession:I really fell in love with this book. I have to admit, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I had no idea the paranormal elements the story had, and the twists it would take. I LOVED the characters; I cannot even describe how much I LOVED the characters. The highwaymen and Cameo, they make a group of misfits that left me in fits of laughter at times! Especially Black Opal, with his penchant for fine clothes, wearing make-up, his shameless flirting and witty banter left me smiling. Cameo is tough as nails, kick’n butt and takin’ names, and yet she has a soft side too that comes through. I am so excited to read the next book in the series, Cameo and the Highwayman!
review 2: Cameo the Assasin By: Dawn McCullough-White Summary-Kingdom of Sieunes is rife with taverns, dirty streets, and clay pipe smoking citizens all toiling to feed their families and keep themselves in something little better than rags. With a foiled revolution just ten years prior still burning in the hearts of many, the royals enlist the aid of assassins to keep things in order. The townsfolk entertain themselves by dreaming of better times to come and regaling in stories of the undead said to walk the graveyards at night... and of Cameo the killer with corpse-like eyes...Scarred and jaded Cameo is one of the most effective assassins in the employ of the Association, moving from one mission to the next as long as the alcohol keeps flowing. Her acceptance of the murder-for-hire lifestyle is thrown into doubt when she meets a local highwayman with a penchant for fine clothes and women, and then she begins to think about breaking with the company but no one ever breaks with the Association under good terms.(Goodreads)Review-Cameo is the first zombie story I have read. It is an interesting spin on the normal zombie. Very detailed characters. Which is nice. I loved the storyline. It was well planned and executed. Its an easy read. All kinds of unexpected twists and turns. I picked it up and before I knew it I was at the end of the book. A colorful fast paced story. I dropped into her world and stayed with her through the entire ride. I hope that there will be a sequel. Id love to read it and add it to my collectionMy score-4 StarsReviewed by~Mechele less
