Wanted

Gillian Wilenius

Halo Serrie is the best assassin there is, but all that might change when he's forced with a difficult task.

 

In the aftermath of WWIII, America is left in small colonies on a nearly barren Earth. In the rubble of the Twin Cities, lies an assassin family called the Guild. Their mission; to keep our race strong by eliminating the weak and poor. Halo Serrie, the youngest in the Guild is tested when given a target from their leader. If he kills the target, he will be given the title of Captain, the second best place in the Guild, right under the leader. But everything doesn't go according to plan.


Everything Halo knows blows when his target walks into his scope. His victim being pregnant, he can't find himself to pull the trigger. In the meantime, he decides to let her live, keeping her locked in a house. That is until he could kill her. If the Guild finds out that his target is alive, they'll banish or torture him. But something holds him back from killing her. After looking in to a particualr colony, he finds that the Guild's 'good' intentions of keeping the human race strong, could be a cover up for something more.

Gillian, I really enjoyed this. I loved seeing the whole assassin angle from a first person POV instead of third person like I'm doing in my assassin novel DarkStar. It really gives an insight into what Halo's thoughts, feelings, and personal struggles are. As an MC, he is likeable and easy to root for.

I only saw a few typos (which I've seen others point out), but other than that, it looks good so far. I'm looking forward to reading more. Keep up the good work!

Intriguing. There were many good plots mixed in here to make an interesting storyline.

Fun read. Some minor typos- examples are- Chapter 1-Why do you say that my life is at state (stake?)" Chapter 2- We found a human body where Crisis Tribe was, were (where?) you found Shieria I presume." Chapter 3- "being ridiculed has taken its tool (toll?)" Hope this is helpful. Desi.
