drey's thoughts:
I love Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassins books so far, and Venom has done nothing but increase my enthusiasm for this series. The opening scene in this installment is hard to read. But let's just say that our favorite retired assassin has lotsa smarts...
And yes, Gin has retired. For real this time. At least, until someone whose help she'd previously enlisted, turns up to be stalked by Mab's main goon. And Gin decides to help remove the irrating itch, especially when she's socked with the one-two punch of coming face-to-face with her baby sister Bria, and finding out that Mab Monroe has put the hit on her (Bria, not Gin).
From the very first page of Venom, Gin commands your attention. She faces some very tough fights, and one very ardent admirer. And as she tries to protect those she cares about and those who can't protect themselves, Gin (finally!) declares open season on Mab Monroe. Pick this one up, but read Spider's Bite and Web of Lies first. And then you can wait in line behind me for Tangled Threads, due out in April 2011.
