As the Spider, Gin Blanco is used to people trying to kill
her. She is, after all, an assassin. When thugs break into
her friends Sophia and Jo-Jo Deveraux's home, Gin figures
they're there for her and is ready to teach them some
manners. Turns out their target is actually Sophia, Gin's
personal body-disposer. Harley Grimes, the sadistic bastard
who kidnapped and tortured Sophia in the past has returned
for her and is eager to kill anyone who gets in his way.
Gin knows she's completely out numbered by the goons Harley
keeps himself surrounded with. If that wasn't bad enough,
Harley and his sister Hazel are powerful fire elementals
who come close to rivaling the strongest fire elemental Gin
has ever gone up against, Mab Monroe. With Sophia's life on
the line, Gin will do anything to get her back, even go up
against such impossible odds. This may be the one battle
though the Spider doesn't come back from.
The ninth book in Jennifer Estep's unstoppable Elemental
Assassin series, HEART OF VENOM continues assassin Gin
Blanco's bloody rampage through the streets of Ashland. Gin
is the type of female character that makes a series like
this unforgettable. She's strong when she needs to be but
she has vulnerabilities and issues that makes her very real.
Surrounded by a motley crew of secondary characters you
wish you could claim as your own, this is a series that has
captivated me from the first kill. Sophia is an integral
character that has fascinated me since she was first
introduced. The reason for her being the very efficient
body disposer she is has always been shrouded in mystery so
it's great to finally find out about her past and the
things that have shaped her into the dwarf she is now. I
won't say anything about Gin's resolution with Owen
Grayson, whom I adore, because I don't want to deprive you
of finding out how things end up with them, but look
forward to them figuring things out, for better or for
worse.
For anyone who hasn't discovered Gin Blanco's love of
family, knives and blood, this is a must read series. With
lots of thrilling action and a large body count, HEART OF
VENOM is a high-octane urban fantasy that will leave you
wanting to hone up your assassin skills.
The hotly anticipated ninth novel in the hugely popular
Elemental Assassin series finds Gin Blanco on a dangerous
mission to rescue a friend.
When a terror from the past threatens Gin’s friend and
body-disposer, Sophia, Gin will stop at nothing to protect
her, even if it means walking straight into a killer’s trap.
Meanwhile, the rocky romance between Gin and Owen reaches a
turning point—can they reunite and rekindle their love? Or
will the things Gin has been forced to do in her line of
work as the deadly assassin the Spider keep them apart
forever? Assuming, that is, she survives long enough to find
out...
