Review: Best of the Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Out of all the books in the Assassins Series, this one has become my favorite, mainly because of Phillip.I loved Phillip.  His devotion to his niece and his determination to make sure she lived a better life than she had been was touching.  The guilt he felt for not being able to help her earlier on in her life was sad, but at the time there wasn't much he could have done; he had only been a kid himself.  Watching him struggle with how to help her was like watching any parent or guardian or friend struggle to help someone they love when they don't know what to do to make the pain go away. No matter what attitudes he was faced with, he never gave up on Claire or Reese.Reese wasn't my favorite heroine of the series, but I understood why she was the way she was.  Still, there comes a point where you have to be willing to put the past behind you and try to move on.  I loved that Phillip was patient enough to wait for to get to that point, even if it took her awhile to get there.Families from the previous Assassins books made plenty of appearances.  It was great catching up with all of them.Great job Toni!  I can't wait to read the next one.
