Review: Kill Order

 


Title: Kill Order 
Series: The Guild 

Author: Tate James 

Release Date: June 2022




THE GUILD is a new series born from the Shadow Grove world. While some characters have been met in the existing MADISON KATE and HADES series, their cameos were not crucial to THE GUILD storyline.

kill order

noun

a document issued by the Circle allowing for the murder of a mercenary with no agency repercussions. A rarely-wielded tool, a kill order brings the Circle’s full wrath down on its target.



Worthless, useless, waste of space. That’s what my father liked to remind me on a daily basis. I was a stain on his pristine reputation. We both were, Moana and I. He taught us that we were less than nothing, we were an inconvenience. Slugs on the cabbage of life. But he was wrong.

Because of him, my sister and I dedicated our lives to helping others. Fighting for others who couldn’t fight for themselves. We took risks, gained ranks, and eventually discovered a purpose. My big sister, my best friend… her pain and loss gave us the direction we both so desperately needed.

We were a unit. A family. A team. Dedicated to a purpose. My calling in life. Until I met her.

How do I tame the deadliest of women? How can I prove myself to her, snaring her in the bonds that have lashed me to her? How do I navigate a partnership with a man I loathe, to whom I’d spent years wanting to destroy?

Destroy the Guild. Take Danny home. Live our life.

That had been my goal.

Now?

I want her back. I want the Guild out of her life. I’ll sell my soul and work with my enemy if I have to.

Whatever it takes.

The Guild series is a dark MFM romance and contains scenes that may be uncomfortable or disturbing to some readers. Please use your own discretion as to whether this is the right series for you. None of the main characters are the "good guys" and their moral code does differ greatly from your usual romance heroes. Please don't attempt to hold them to heroic standards, as they will fall short.

KILL ORDER is book THREE of THREE in The Guild trilogy.

Wow! Where do I even begin?! 
So as always I loved Tate James books. Her series always pull me in and I fall in love with all the characters involved. And of course the cliffhangers are killer and have me questioning my sanity every time. 
And this one is no different. 
Kill Order is book 3 in the Guild series & must be read in order. It picks up where book 2 left off. 
While I loved book 1 & 2 - I didn't quite love this one - as much. Don't get me wrong I loved the series, and loved all the characters and maybe it's a me thing - coming off of a book slump that lasted a month and also a depression episode so I'm not quite myself - book 3 didn't quite hit the same. It was a bit slower in pace (or at least more sporadic), and I had seen one of the twists from the beginning so it didn't quite hit the same (normally I'm in the moment with the book so I don't see any twists ahead of time). So while I love Tate James books & the Madison Kate world this one was a little flat. 
I do still love the characters, and enjoyed the story as a whole overall though and I was happy to get answers and a conclusion over everything. I will be looking forward to my next Tate James series to sink my teeth into. 

3.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐ 
4🌶️ out of 5🌶️.
