Six years ago, I awoke in a cage with no knowledge of who I was or where I’d come from.
Six years ago, I was spared the flesh markets and instead thrown in with a group of savages, where I learned it was fight or die.
Now, eight Orders of Assassins are converging on the only home I’ve ever known. All in hopes of purchasing new blade slaves for their ranks.
I’m for sale, yet all I want is a life far from death and ownership. Then I meet them, the Order of Scorpions.
Their allure is a threat to the freedom I crave, but I won’t fall victim to their sting, no matter how tempting it might be.
They want to own me, to claim me, but the Scorpions have no idea what they’ve bargained for.
They’re about to learn what venom flows in my veins. I don’t just bite…I destroy.

That was easily the longest book I've read but it was infinitely worth it. The plot was so interesting and refreshing, I loved absolutely every second. The world that Asher was able to create and bring to life was so detailed and well thought out, the twists and turns that all joined together in the end was so amazing and I didn't see the ending coming at all.
I absolutely LOVED reading about a FMC that was borderline evil, she had major bloodlust, was strong, and a true bad ass character. I loved both Auset and her little group of mates. I found the characters all so interesting and well written and I appreciated that all those who deserved a comeuppance was delivered one.
This was those rare books that sucks you in and doesn't want to let you go. There were a few surprises and some things that didn't go the way I thought they would. It definitely stands out from the pack as one of the better ones. It didn't bore me at any point - the sex was enough without being over the top, and it wasn't so frequent I started skipping scenes. Overall it was worth the time invested.
Rounding up to 5 because I loved everything about this except the whole mates things came out of left field and I have absolutely no idea how or when they realized they were mates.
