Time Thief by Anna Hackett was the first read that I discovered from this author & what a gem! I read the excerpt from Amazon & had to download immediately to my Kindle because I was hooked.In Time Thief, the reader is introduced to the two main characters, Bay & Sean. Bay, the heroine, has a unique gift & is considered a Time Thief. For that, it has put her on the run most of her life from a crime lord bent on capturing her for the exploitation her gift. Sean, the hero, is an ex-Navy Seal who has never recovered from his men being killed by a Time Thief.  One thing that these two have in common is their unquenchable thirst for revenge. Sean is a hunter out to track & kill Time Thieves and Bay is out to kill the crime lord responsible for her killing her family. Circumstances throw these two together & as truths come out they have no choice but to put their trust in one another to survive.  However, at the end will they get the revenge that they were both desperately seeking for? Read the book find out!All I have to say is a job well done, Ms. Hackett. This story hooked me from the beginning & didn't let me down. Filled with non-stop action and with its fast pace, I was never bored with the story. I also liked the paranormal/sci-fi twist that the author put into the story which I felt made it all the more interesting. I also really liked the characters. Bay was tough as nail, yet vulnerable but she was an absolute kick ass heroine who I adored. And then there's Sean. Oh boy...talk about an emotionally wounded hero. Ms. Hackett has it down to a T with Sean. He carries the world of guilt on his shoulders and has built an imaginary wall to ward off people. But I liked him. He was alpha: fierce, protective, understanding and yes, sexy. Without a doubt, Bay & Sean are two damaged souls considering what they both went through in their pasts. However, I loved that they were also the ones to heal each other. In addition, I enjoyed how their relationship gradually progressed throughout the story. It felt more real and believable. My only minor complaint is that the story ended a bit too abruptly. I would have loved an epilogue with Sean & Bay. However, I still LOVED the ending! What a beautiful ending for these two; it definitely left a smile on my face. Overall, I highly enjoyed this story by Anna Hackett. It was well-written with good characterizations and good plot development. I devoured Time Thief  in one sitting and enjoyed reading every page of it. Definitely a recommend from me.
