Old habits die hard for assassins.

And I plan on murdering someone before the night is through.

Killing used to be my regular gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the Spider, assassin-for-hire. And I was very, very good at it. Now, I’m ready to make the one hit that truly matters: Mab Monroe, the dangerous Fire elemental who murdered my family when I was thirteen. Oh, I don’t think the mission will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit more problematic than expected. The bitch knows I’m coming for her. So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters Mab hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keeping Bria safe is my first priority. Taking Mab out is a close second. Good thing I’ve got my powerful Ice and Stone magic—and my irresistible lover, Owen Grayson—to watch my back. This battle has been years in the making, and there’s a good chance I won’t survive. But if I’m going down, then Mab’s coming with me . . . no matter what I have to do to make that happen.

I really loved this book and its culmination of the Mab story arc.

I am over the constant repeating of the back story. Pretty sure by book 5 we all have it memorized.

I enjoyed this book as much as the rest in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to kick butt. I think Gin is tough and caring and I can identify with her character. I love her 'family', too.

I like the story. But I'm sick of all the flashbacks. I know who is mab Monroe. I know who is Owen. I know where those scars come from.

Please stop this, and carry on with the story.

I little of it is ok. But now it almost feels forced. I entirely skip these parts.

For the rest, good world, interesting story, good characters.

Fantastic book start to finish! I left a slightly negative review on the last book as I found the beginning quite repetitive but that's because I'm only now reading this series and the books back to back so for me it is repetitive but this book wasn't like that at all! Yes she touched on previous events as any author would do writing a series but then she went straight into the story and it was go go go until the last page! After submitting this review I shall be downloading the next in the series on my Kindle!!! Can't wait to see what happens next!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Assassin
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013

I'm really afraid readers of my Elemental Assassin reviews are going to get bored. Why? Because I find myself feeling the same way about each one of the books in this series. Not because they are re-hashing the same scenarios or because the characters do the same thing from book to book. It's because each one takes everything up a notch. The world gets broader, the characters and the relationships between those characters gets stronger and more information is revealed. Each time I read one of the books in this series I walk away thinking that it was my favorite one. These books are just that good.

Spider's Revenge was intense on many levels. The stakes were a lot higher for Gin and company. This time it was personal on so many levels. If Gin wanted to make sure that Mab never hurt anyone she cared about again, she had to be destroyed. That made the danger and the ultimate fighting intense. Because Gin had little hope of coming out of the final battle with Mab alive also raised the emotional stakes. There were a lot of heart breaking moments in this one. There were also a lot of heart warming ones as well.

Once again, the characters are what made this story so great. I loved watching Finn and Bria `dance' around their feelings for each other. Jo Jo was once again a source of strength and motherly support. We learned more about Sophia's past and events that shaped her character. Roslyn, Xavier and even Warren and Violet Fox had Gin's back in Spider's Revenge. Then there was Eva and of course Owen. Speaking of which, the relationship between Owen and Gin is also growing stronger. I keep hoping that's a very good thing, but I still have that niggling little bit of doubt. Not that I don't think Owen's sincere, it's just that things are going way too well with them right now, which usually means that bad things are bound to happen. I really, really, really hope I'm wrong. *sigh*

One of the things that I liked most about this installment was the connection between all the characters I've already mentioned. They are such a huge support to each other. They aren't afraid to be honest with each other when they need to be and if they do hold back it's for protection, not deceit. They aren't perfect. They've all made mistakes, but they deal with them. The world that they live in has forced them to literally fight to survive. Watching them fight that battle together is what makes these books so much fun to read.

Spoiler Warning for the events in the series' previous books. The series follows an overall story-arc and each book contributes to it, so if you are new to the series, this is not a good place to start it. In that case I recommend you stop reading here and start at book one "Spider's Bite".

Old habits die hard. And I plan on mur­der­ing some­one before the night is through.

Killing used to be my reg­u­lar gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the Spi­der, assassin-for-hire. And I was very good at it. Now, I’m ready to make the one hit that truly mat­ters: Mab Mon­roe, the dan­ger­ous Fire ele­men­tal who mur­dered my fam­ily when I was thir­teen.

Oh, I don’t think the mis­sion will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit more prob­lem­atic than expected. The bitch knows I’m com­ing for her. So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters she hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keep­ing Bria safe is my first pri­or­ity. Tak­ing Mab out is a close sec­ond.

Good thing I’ve got my pow­er­ful Stone and Ice magic — and my irre­sistible lover Owen Grayson — to watch my back. This bat­tle has been years in the mak­ing, and there’s a chance I won’t sur­vive. But if I’m going down, then Mab’s com­ing with me...no mat­ter what I have to do to make that happen.

Review

As I wrote in the last installment's review, I expected the showdown between Gin Blanco, aka the assissin "The Spider" and Mobster-Queen Mab Monroe to take place way earlier in the series. And if something is as overdue as such an event, it's hard to meet all the expectations that built up in the meantime. So I have to admit the final "Clash of the Titans" couldn't really deliver on all I expected of it. But: the story is very well developed and there are twists and turns that gave a lot of suspense and at times made me bite my nails. And what I really liked was seeing Gin in full-assassin-mode once again: she is constantly plotting, stalking her prey and of course fighting and killing a good deal.

All this is made harder by Mab's newest way to deal with her, since Gin's archenemy finally set a bounty on her head, captured to be dead or alive. And not only her head, but her sister Bria's too. So while Mab thwarts Gin's attempts at getting to her, the town of Ashland is overflooded by bounty-hunters who will stop at nothing to get the many millions Mab promises. This makes for pretty cool and exiting premises, Gin being hunter and hunted at the same time. But Gin is never as good as when the stakes are nearly overwhelmingly high and the odds are kind of against her and this again is true in this installment. I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but I so admire the assassin for her capabilites - and her still compassionate heart. She is, as are nearly all of the people in the series, not at all black and white. The only person [term used loosely here] really just plain villainous and pure evil, is Mab Monroe. Even all the explanations from her past don't make me give her even the slightest credit. And I have to admit that I think that it's the villains that are the least fleshed out in this series. But then, maybe it's necessary to paint all the villains real black to make an assassin the hero? Nevertheless, this is a solidly good UF series and the not totally overwhelming showdown between Mab and Gin notwithstanding, the book is a fabulous addition to the series.

Again we meet all of the friends Gin has assembled over the years and the last books and their standing with her at all times, is just wonderful to read. Especially since the explanations for each persons feelings are so genuine and feel very real. As I said: aside from the over-the-top miscreants, all the characters are wonderfully balanced and very well fleshed-out. I love reading about them, their pasts and their relationships towards Gin and each other. And another solid base of the series is again the detailed and well thought-out alternate world, in which Elemantals weave their magic and vampires live side by side with humans, giants, dwarfs and whatnot. Still, there is a logic behind it all and I appreciate that.

I can't wait what will happen to Gin and her friends in the next installments, since there is not only hinted at some complication for Gin in the near future coming out of killing Mab, but there is the coolest last sentence in a book ever, that makes me anticipate lot's of further adventures for "The Spider".
