Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers by Jen Desmarais

I’ve been with them through so much, after all.

By the end of the book, the characters of this book weren’t just people on the page they were friends. Jen and Éric excel at creating characters that you end up caring for. The book pulled me in from the first page and I love the character of Kennedy. It was spectacular! Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers is not just a book you read. I’ve been a long-time fan of Éric Desmarais’ work and the world building he does and knew that Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers would be good and I was pretty sure what I was in for. Kennedy and Jason will have to risk everything if they have a shot at saving the world… Kennedy’s world is no longer the boring one that it once was. As if that weren’t enough to deal with, there is the Phantom, a mysterious superhero who is busy trying to save the streets of Westmeath. There are those Aetherborn who wish the world harm and people around them are disappearing. They are a community of people capable of magic, but not all of them are good. Her world is thrown into overdrive as she becomes more involved with Jason, who happens to be one of the Aetherborn. She leaps into action, saving Jason from getting stabbed and is astounded when the attacker vanishes. While walking away, she happens to look back to see him being attacked in an alleyway. Kennedy runs into Jason when she is out doing errands and is immediately smitten.

That something more comes in the form of Jason Johnson. Kennedy just wishes that her life was something… more. Everything is pretty boring and normal for Westmeath. Her time is filled with those that count on her and her job at Discreet Frills, a small boutique lingerie store. It’s full of neighbours in her building that need her help, friends and coworkers that know that they can count on Kennedy for anything. After graduating from university, her life seems full.
