It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most.

To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists.

At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Gin is out for revenge and she’s finally set her sights on Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who killed her family. To do that, Gin has to hide her identity and cloak her powers (Stone & Ice magic). On top of the plot to kill Mab, Gin is out to kill the man whos making her vampire friend Roslyn’s life a nightmare. This man, Elliot Slater, just happens to be Mab’s right hand man and that makes things a bit more difficult for Gin.

There’s also a new hottie on the scene, Owen Grayson and he won’t take no for an answer, but Gin’s decided to take her chances with him. Oh, did I forget to mention the new Detective in town, Bria Coolidge, just happens to be the baby sister Gin thought was dead?

Venom is the third book in Jennifer Estep’s Elemental Assasian Series and I have to tell you, it is the best of the bunch! I can’t rave about it enough and it’s killing me not to tell you all the big details of why this book kicks just as much ass as Gin does.

Can I tell you how happy I was to see Detective Donvan Caine GONE. I couldn’t stand him, he was such a jerk to Gin, his morals just too black and white for me. Thankfully, Gin has a new love interest in the form of Owen Grayson and he turns out to be the perfect combo for Gin.

Gin just kicks all sorts of ass people, I cannot WAIT for the next book in the series because the events leading up to Gin and Mab’s standoff are epic! Of course Jennifer Estep had to leave us with a cliff hanger, not very nice Madam Author. Not nice at all. But I can tell you, the action is intense this go around and if you don’t sit from cover to cover, somethings wrong with you

Jennifer Estep does action like no one else does, Venom is a page turner that turns into an all night cram session.
