Black Heart (Curse Workers #3) by Holly Black
Hardcover, 320 pages
Expected publication: April 3, 2012
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry
Cassel Sharpe knows he’s been used as an assassin, but he’s trying to put all that behind him. He’s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He’s trying to do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is inextricably connected with crime. And he’s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is smart, even though he’s been raised to believe the government is the enemy.
But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what’s a con and what’s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet—this time on love.
White Cat ended so strong and Red Glove blew me away. Oh Cassel, will Lila break you? Who knew I could feel sorry for a con man!

Holly is one of the best writers--ever. Her books are all full-life portraits. Who else could combine magic, the mob, love, and a genuine, painful,personal struggle between right and wrong.
ReplyDeleteMy Waiting On Wednesday book is Black Heart as well! Great choice. I absolutely love Cassel, despite his con man ways.
ReplyDeleteRight there with you! I've already got it on pre-order...
ReplyDeleteI still have to read White Cat, but this one and Red Glove are both on my wishlist! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see how this trilogy wraps up. :D
ReplyDeleteOOOOH! Me too! I love this series! I hope Jesse Eisenberg does the audio for this one too. He was amazing with the 1st two.

I still have Red Glove on my tbr pile, I need to get to it, hopefully soon. I've heard it's even better than the first. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for Black Heart too. I can't wait to see how the trilogy will end! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't discovered the appeal of this yet! I've been wanting to pick up the first book for ages, but haven't gotten the chance...

Great choice! I loved White Cat, so need to catch up.
ReplyDeleteWait..there's a THIRD one in this series now? *blinks* I'm SO far behind. Off to read all about number two and contemplate an addition to my wish list. Thanks for the share! ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt's not simple to define what the truth is. However, is it important to have the totally clear definition?
