I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars.Reviewed for TwoLips Reviews LLC4 kisses out of 5, 1 pepper M/F, oral sex.The thrill of the hunt!  The excitement of it was changing for Trace Victors.  This hit that she was doing was going to be her last, number fifty.  As she spotted her hit through the scope, Trace took a moment as she took in his appearance.  Number fifty was extremely handsome and very muscular.  What is happening? Trace hadn't ever hesitated to pull the trigger before, so why now?  She started to gently squeeze the trigger, when she noticed he turned in her direction and now Trace can see his eyes staring at her.Not really believing that he can actually see her, Trace takes a calming breath and looks through the scope again. Her target is no longer visible and is moving toward her.  The tables have turned and now the hunter is the hunted. Trace is seriously injured trying to escape from this strange man, and wakes up in a hospital, but she is not alone.  Trace and Hayden's lives are now in danger.I was immediately drawn into the story of The Beholder by Leanore Elliott.  The story has plenty of twists and turns that the reader never sees coming. When I started reading The Beholder, I wasn't aware that it was going to be a novella.  I was very impressed how Ms. Elliott penned such a strong story in such a short time.  Hayden and Trace are great together; they have a lot of chemistry. Each character has a separate personality, strengths and weaknesses. Hayden is still a bit of a mystery to me.  There are things he's capable of doing and experiencing that are extraordinary.  There is a lot about Hayden that is unanswered, but I think that is only part of what makes him attractive.Trace has lived through a horrible tragedy in her childhood. She becomes a trained hit woman and kills without remorse. Trace's character was very strong and I admired that quality in her.  I really enjoyed The Beholder by Leanore Elliott, I still have a few unanswered questions about Hayden and I hope that there will be another book about these two characters.
