SO GOOD.
This was my first N.R. Walker novel, but it won't be my last.

"The Kite" is is the fluffiest, most violent book I've read in a while. It was wholly addicting, action-packed and totally endearing, with a romance that reached teeth-rotting level of cuteness.

I adored the plot! I admit, I wasn't 100% sure what was going on in the beginning, because there's so much action (gun fights, hand to hand combat, daring escapes, illegal border crossings, secret betrayals, revenge plotting? You name it.), but after a bit I managed to get the hang of what was happening on page.
And, little by little, both MCs slowly revealed themselves, along with their vulnerabilities and hidded depths and desires. I managed to utterly fall in love with them and their relationship. Harry was fabulous: a grumpy badass with a protective streak that was both endearing and sexy. And Asher? GAH, I loved him. He's bratty and infuriating and deadly and vulnerable and sweet and ugh, just lovely. I loved them together: the hate sex, the enemies-to-reluctant-allies-to-kind-of-friends-to-lovers-to-soulmates? I live for that!!! INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. I loved their banter and chemistry so much. Plus, they were so cute and sweet to each other at times: my heart could not take it. I also adored the side characters (who do I need to sell my soul to for an origin story about the mysterious Four?!).

I'm glad I got the chance to read this book! It was my first N.R. Walker, but I'm already on my way to buy a few more of her books. My bank account won't be happy, but oh well.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
