    [Book Review] Bitter Bite By Jennifer Estep & KMO Joe Icicle Delight Flavored Coffee

    Bitter Bite, book 14 in the Elemental Assassin series, sees dual magic wielding, underworld queen, and all around badass assassin Gin Blanco dealing with some good, old-fashioned family drama – of course, it's slightly more menacing and potentially deadly family drama than most people have to deal with (understatement).

    [Book Review] Spider’s Trap By Jennifer Estep & Rose Park Roasters Ethiopian Beriti

    Elemental Assassin Gin Blanco, known as the Spider, has made quite the reputation for herself wielding her dual Ice and Stone magic to take out some of the biggest heavy hitters of Ashland’s criminal underworld – and in doing so has kind of lucked into the position of the de facto queen of the underworld herself. In Spider’s Trap, the 13th book of the Elemental Assassin series, Gin finds herself in the very weird position of having people she used to be gunning for coming to her to talk about business deals, treaties, and territory disputes. Gin’s first big meeting to mediate a dispute between some underworld bosses ends explosively…

    [Book Review] Black Widow By Jennifer Estep & Coffee Beanery Caramel Apple

    Gin Blanco, the badass ice and stone elemental wielding assassin with a seemingly perpetual target on her back, is back in the 12th installment of the Elemental Assassin series. The person targeting Gin this time around is very different from her usual adversaries – M.M. Monroe is calm, confident, and very very cunning, patiently bidding her time and quietly weaving a web of misfortune around Gin and her friends from behind the scenes using all the power money and connections can buy in a town as overrun with corruption as Ashland, and that’s before she even unleashes a drop of the powerful acid magic she has at her finger tips.
