Synopsis:
Picking a boyfriend can be murder, but for Annalisa Winslett, it
might end up being the literal death of her.
No one at Pensacola High School suspects the girl they know as
Annalisa McKinnis to be a wealthy heiress in hiding, but things begin to
unravel when two new guys enroll. Both guys are gorgeous, and both are trying
to win her over. The only problem is that one of them has a million dollar
contract to put a bullet in her.
This book is the beginning of a wild ride in a trilogy that will
make you wonder if the power of love can truly conquer all.
When her pure and innocent heart is offered to him, will this
cold and empty hitman fall, or will he remain untouchable?
Rating: 4/5
I'm a little puzzled with this one. The story itself was really
good, I enjoyed the plot and the suspense surrounding the ''who wants
Annalisa's death'' and how she will survive or not to this whole situation.
I won't reveal you the name of the hitman, so you'll have to
read Untouchable to know it!
As the blurb mentions it, Annalisa will fall in love for her
hitman, whoever he is... I liked the fact that the hitman has no choice to do
his bidding, even if he might have some feeling for Annalisa.
I had a hard time to ''believe'' the fact that Annalisa could
fall in love with someone who's supposed to kill her. I think that Annalisa
took control of the situation and had the greatest idea, to stay alive as
longer as she can, so thanks to the creativity of the author, Lindsay Delagair,
for not going into cheesy cliché with that aspect of the story.
I liked the arrival of the second mysterious guy and his
appearance will provoke some major action in the story. Both of them want
Annalisa, for different reason. They both sexy, handsome, looking dangerous and
the best aspect of them were the fact that they both fight for her attention. I
love when men are fighting over a woman!
But I also had some difficulties with some aspect of this book.
The hitman was a bit over the edge on 50% of the book, probably
because of the situation but some scenes were a bit harsh. He treats Annalisa
like she belongs to him but always mentions the fact that he's going to kill
her. Buzz killer!
Some of his interactions with Annalisa were unbelievable! How
can you say or do those things to her and then proclaim that you'll kill her no
matter what and/plus from her POV, not wanting to turn around, run and scream
away! I know Annalisa is resigned but at this point, its masochist!
The family of the hitman. They were either very involved in the
fulfillment of the hitman ''job'' or, very involved in helping Annalisa and her
relationship with the hitman. In addition, some members have a job as dubious
and criminal as the hitman's work and the others, work in the field of security
and law as a police officer.
Anyway, those aspects didn't bother to the point to put down the
book. The action in this story and the weird relation between Annalisa and the
hitman really hooked me and I devoured this book. I liked the ending even if
some of you might think it's a typical ''happy ending'' but you have to know
that it's a series! The adventure doesn't stop here! I'm pretty intrigued with
the sequel!
Page Turner: Yes

Proserpine Recommendation: This book is for every romance lovers

the kind ''love can heal everything'' story!
