Bone Deep

Lynn Braden

Bone has the ability to kill people in any way imaginable, and she has used them all throughout her career as an assassin. Dmitry has been following Bone for months and realizes that she may have answers to questions involving the death of his parents and his two missing sisters. Their attraction to one another introduces more complications that become evident when the two of them meet face-to-face for the first time. 
The beginning chapter of each of the three books in the No Mercy series has focused on the same night, when all four of the First Team assassins cemented their connection to one another and inspired their ultimate plan to murder their brutal trainer, Joseph Bombardier. Bone Deep brings more information to light about Ninka, the loving but weak girl who died that night and how her story connects all of them. Less of this book is spent on the romance between Bone and Dmitry and more about setting the stage for the final book in the series. We also meet some new characters introduced into the series including, Nameless, the woman who gave birth to the boy they are all so desperately trying to find. Overall, this was a good story especially the parts that develop the final installment. I look forward to the next book, which I assume will focus on not only finishing the series, but also telling the story of the character, Blade.
