Title: Spider's Bite
Series: Elemental Assassin #1
Author: Jennifer Estep
My name is Gin, and I kill people.
They call me the Spider. I'm the most feared assassin in the South — when I'm not busy at the Pork Pit cooking up the best barbecue in Ashland. As a Stone elemental, I can hear everything from the whispers of the gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the soaring Appalachian Mountains above me. My Ice magic also comes in handy for making the occasional knife. But I don't use my powers on the job unless I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.
Now that a ruthless Air elemental has double-crossed me and killed my handler, I'm out for revenge. And I'll exterminate anyone who gets in my way — good or bad. I may look hot, but I'm still one of the bad guys. Which is why I'm in trouble, since irresistibly rugged Detective Donovan Caine has agreed to help me. The last thing this coldhearted killer needs when I'm battling a magic more powerful than my own is a sexy distraction...especially when Donovan wants me dead just as much as the enemy.
Main character: Gin Blanco
I DNFd this after approximatively 40% about one month ago... And yes, I'm procrastinating, but I don't know what to write besides my notes. In conclusion here are my notes and some visual aids ;):
-This chick gets so much on my nerves! It's always "oh, the woe is me!" it doesn't matter what happens to anyone else, she had more traumatic crap happening to her.

Let me present you Gin^ PS: Yes, she is very dramatic.[/caption]-I don't like the narrator. -I get that the old dude is dead and he was a friend and everything, but do I have to listen to what a great guy he was for 5 minutes from every 7 minutes read? -She's all talk, talk, talk and no action! -She boast more then any male character I've ever read. -She f-cking "sees" everything: if someone looks slightly left she sees it, if their nose itches she sees it, if someone frigging breaths she sees it. -Oh wow, she has a "hard stare" *snort* -And I thought Charley Davidson was annoying me, boy I didn't know what I was getting into with this book -She reads minds as well[she really doesn't], aren't we talented?! -If I hear one more word about her doing what she hadn't, aka quit killing, I will

ReplyDeleteVampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, You can have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
