Poison Promise by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #11) Released: July 22, 2014 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by May “You should watch yourself, young lady,” she said in a snippy tone as I handed over her change. “Some of us don’t appreciate such salty language.” My smile sharpened. “Sorry ma’am,” I drawled. “But I can assure you that cursing is going to be the least of my sins today.” Gin Blanco, aka the Spider just can’t catch a break or seem to stay in retirement.

Review: Heart of Venom by Jennifer Estep

August 27, 2013 by admin 1 Comment

Heart of Venom by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #9) Released: August 27, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by May “My name is Gin, like the liquor” They both gave me blank looks, apparently not getting the joke. Nobody appreciated irony these days. I sighed. “My name is Gin Blanco,” I replied. “But y’all probably know me by another one: the Spider.” Heart of Venom is the ninth novel in Estep’s Elemental Assassin series, and while this book does not stand alone, each and every 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

Joint Review: Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep

March 25, 2013 by admin 6 Comments

Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #8) Releases: March 26, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by Tori and May 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 at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art Continue Reading

Review: Widow’s Web by Jennifer Estep

August 17, 2012 by admin 14 Comments

Widow's Web by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #7) August 21, 2012 Urban Fantasy Simon & Schuster Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: This was a matter of the heart – and one problem that all my knives and all my prowess as the Spider wouldn’t help me solve. Gin Blanco is an assassin. Oh, she’s semi-retired and she tries to live her life as normally as she can now running her BBQ joint the Pork Pit and spending time with her friends, sister Bria, and her lover Owen. But things happen, Continue Reading
