Gin Blanco is back in the eighth installment of the
Elemental Assassin series.
This time she shows up at a tony high class event to help
get her mind off her erstwhile boyfriend only to realize
there are a few too many giants about, even for the
exhibition of riches the museum has on display.
Like a good comic book run, each new book pits Gin against
(almost) overwhelming odds and she always emerges
victorious; at least as far as the immediate challenge is
concerned. What takes these books to the next level is the
combination of the underlying storylines on relationships
that carry over from the previous books and the shadowy
secretive opponent who is waiting to strike in a future
adventure.
Although I adore reading a series in order, beginning to
end, the action takes the high note here making each book a
decent read in and of itself. It will still be fairly
satisfying for a reader to plunge in with whichever book
comes to hand and back track later, but as far as following
the more subtle relationship story lines, it would be best
to start with book one. I am certain you will come to love
Gin and her barbeque joint as well as the family she has
built around her.
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.
Against her better judgment, Gin is
coerced into attending a high society gala with the rest of
Ashland's elite underworld. On display: the priceless art
collection of her deceased nemesis, Mab Monroe, and an
excess of crime boss swagger. While not comfortable in her
fancy attire, Gin gets vastly more interested in the
evening’s events when a group of thieves bursts in and tries
to seize the valuable, dangerous gems. Facing a Die
Hard-esque scenario in which she must free hostage
partygoers while herself trapped in the museum, things get a
little bit messy when the bloodshed begins. Let's just say
that Gin should have chosen the red gown…
