March 16, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

Last Strand by Jennifer EstepElemental Assassin #19Urban FantasyMarch 16, 2021 Self Published Review by Angela Favorite Quote: But this was the life I had built, the one I had chosen for myself, and I wouldn't have it any other way. So I returned to my book with a smile on my face, my knives tucked up my sleeves, and more peace in my heart than I'd felt in a long, long time. My name is Gin, and I kill people. Always and forever. This is it y'all, the last Gin Blanco adventure... at Continue Reading

Review: Assassin’s Gambit by Amy Raby

April 9, 2013 by Mandi 16 Comments

Assassin’s Gambit by Amy Raby (Hearts and Thrones #1) Fantasy Romance April 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi This book caught my eye because I love an assassin heroine. A couple of my favorites being Gin from Jennifer Estep’s Elemental Assassin series and Shadow Kin by MJ Scott. The description of the heroine in the blurb sounds pretty awesome: Vitala Salonius, champion of the warlike game of Caturanga, is as deadly as she is beautiful. She’s a trained assassin for the Continue Reading

Retro Review: Black Widow by Jennifer Estep

July 12, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

Review originally posted in November 2014 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. Black Widow by Jennifer EstepElemental Assassin #12Urban FantasyNovember 25, 2014- Pocket Books I didn’t think this series could get any better. I didn’t think Jennifer Estep could still surprise me or throw me for a loop or make me love Gin Blanco any more than I already did, but boy was I wrong. Black Widow is the 12th book in the Elemental Assassin series and it blew my mind. In the best way possible. The last Continue Reading

“One of the most intriguing heroines in the genre” returns in the “extraordinary series” from the New York Times–bestselling author of Black Widow (RT Book Reviews, Top Pick).Keep your friends close but your enemies within stabbing distance.One important lesson I’ve learned in the assassination business is that to be the best you have to roll with the punches. Now that I’m queen of Ashland’s underworld—by default, not by choice—a lot more punches are being thrown my way. But I suppose that’s the Continue Reading

New Releases- Week of November 27- December 1, 2023

November 28, 2023 by Angela 6 Comments

It seems the 'Zon is making "improvements" by eliminating the way bloggers grab images from them for their sites. They only sent out an email 2 weeks before the end date, which is very little time to fix anything or figure out work arounds. Expect quite a few bloggers you enjoy having broken links, etc. when you visit their blogs. As for Smexy, this will affect the way the New Release post looks. Again. I'm back to my spreadsheet--which utilizes HTML. Next week I'll have everything Continue Reading

The eighth hotly anticipated book in the Elemental Assassin series by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep: it’s Gin Blanco's party—and you’ll cry if she wants you to.Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot.Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer Continue Reading

Heart Stings by Jennifer EstepElemental Assassins #19.5Urban FantasyMay 9, 2023- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I have to say that I was worried that we had said goodbye to this world after the last book in the series, but I'm happy that the author has decided to release novellas featuring secondary characters. And I like this very, very much. Heart Stings allows readers to catch up with Lorelei Parker and Hugh Tucker, both prominent figures in the Elemental Assassin series. Continue Reading
