title: Last Kiss Goodnight: An Otherworld Assassin Novel
author:  Gena Showalter 
description: One minute Solomon is wrapping up a briefing on a new assignment, and the next an explosion knocks him unconscious. He wakes to find himself a prisoner in a circus sideshow along with others born on other planets or their earthborn offspring. Vika is the owners daughter, the head keeper, and the most breathtaking woman Solomon has ever seen. He thinks her kindness toward the captives is just an act, but he grows to learn her compassion runs to her core. Her father, however, is the real deal when it comes to being a psychopath. It will take all of Solomons strength and heart to get them out alive. Showalter kicks off her new Otherworld Assassin series, addressing her signature themes: inner darkness, inner light, and the battles between good and evil waged both between people and within individuals souls. Solomon and Vika are almost more allegorical tropes than flesh-and-blood characters, and they may not grab the imaginations of readers new to Showalter. But her fans will be eager to follow her into new adventures. --Nina C. Davis
