I had the pleasure of meet author Melanie Gilbert at OUAB 2018. She is absolutely adorable and is part of triplets! Believe it or not her one of her sisters is an author too. I was doing double takes all weekend, lol. ~ Lynn
The war between the Light and Dark has raged for centuries on the continent of Loath. Commander Carmon Lanshay and his five brothers are the best assassins the Light have, so when a Governor and his family are threatened, he and his brothers are sent to bring them to safety.
Immediately, their mission takes a turn for the worse, and Carmon discovers that he will do pretty much anything to make it succeed, even if he has to die protecting the Governor’s oldest daughter, Sylee. On the other hand, Sylee would rather fight for herself than let her arrogant Commander treat her and her family with such callousness.
With danger lurking around every corner, Carmon and Sylee will have to learn to trust, and rely on, each other to save her family, and their world.

~~~REVIEW~~~
Life and Water is Melanie Gilbert's 1st book, and my into to her work. The story started out a bit awkward and I had trouble getting into it. However, as the story progressed the author found her voice and the book started to flow more smoothly. I am glad I didn't give up. Life and Water is an action packed, supernatural, upper YA fantasy and is a good start to the series.
