"Orbis, a world where truth was a currency few could afford"

Thirteen assassins. Thirteen hits. Seven days to complete them. This is the price of admittance to Hollyhock; the prestigious academic institution of Obris' deadliest assassins. 
  
This book was phenomenal. I absolutely adore  Arianna's writing style. The imagery woven into the story is vivid and beautiful and really draws you into the world of Orbis and Hollyhock. There is an incredibly tense atmosphere, full of intrigue and mystery throughout the entire story making this a truly immersive read that I could not put down. 

Pym character is amazing and impossible to not fall in love with. She is a strong and fierce assassin. She is resilient, headstrong, and often infuriatingly independent and will stop at nothing to protect the ones she loves. I loved Pym's dark and sinister inner voice of her traumatic past that she is in a constant battle with to keep at bay. 

I loved the relationships Pym has in this book and how readers get to see the different sides of her in each of those relationships. The why choose romance is steamy and passionate. The side characters of her found family are fiercely protective, unwaveringly loyal, and would move mountains to ensure her safety.

If you love dark and thrilling stories, morally grey characters, and spicy why choose romance this one needs to be on your TBR.

Thank you, Arianna, for providing me with an ARC copy of Cynadiate Sins of the Shadows in exchange for an honest review
