Rating 3 1/2 StarsAll right, I finished The Request which happens to be the first part of three-part series. First off, this is a very quick read, which will have you wanting to know what's going to happen next. However, I believe The Request gives a good introductory on how Everly and Roman start off. I can't go into too many details about the story, because that would give this part of the story away. I know that's being cryptic.Anyway, Everly is a sweet girl who likes romance and might have a tiny crush on Roman. Roman is an assassin who is trying not to blow his cover because of a sweet girl that comes to see his bookshop every week. The story is told from Roman's POV, until the end when it switches to Everly's POV. Honestly, I don't know what to think of Roman and I think once the story gets into full swing, I think I will have a better read on him. Everly just seems like a sweet southern girl.Let me just say, this isn't like any other Marquita Valentine book. You get a little hint of darkness, but not sure what to expect. I seriously wonder how this will all play out in the end. I think it's a good start, but could have used a little more. At the same time, she found a good stopping point for the story to continue into The Deception. So, if you are looking for a quick read about an assassin and a sweet girl, you might give The Request a try.
