Unraveled by Jennifer Estep

Since I have been doing book reviews the types of genre that I enjoy has expanded. I don’t think I ever picked up a urban fantasy novel before I was introduced to Jennifer Estep. But when I did venture into her stories, I have to admit, I was hooked.

She writes a series called the Elemental Assassin and the main character is a bad ass chick. Fun, intelligent, and a bit snarky, but with a heart of gold. The fact that the author has taken us on a journey through 15 or more stories in the series speaks a lot towards her ability as an author to keep us entertained and begging for more. Here is her newest release I was able to review for you.

Unraveled by Jennifer Estep
Series: Elemental Assassin (Book 15)
Publisher: Pocket Books (August 30, 2016)
ISBN-13: 978-1501142215

After the shocking revelations of the previous book, Bitter Bite, the world of Ashland’s become even more sinister, and Gin Blanco (aka Ashland’s most fearsome assassin, the Spider) no longer knows who—or what—she can count on. Only one thing is for certain: danger and new enemies await Gin in Unraveled, Book 15 in the New York Times bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that RT Book Reviews calls “unbeatable entertainment!”

What could go wrong when you’re trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy?

As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes. I might be the Spider, the city’s most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasn’t done me a lick of good in learning more about “the Circle”. Despite my continued investigations, the trail’s gone as cold as the coming winter.

So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel. At first, all the struttin’ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilder—and deadlier—than any of us expected.

Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight …

My Thoughts on Unraveled by Jennifer Estep

Unraveled is her newest upcoming release and it continues the story in the Elemental Assassin series. What I love about Jennifer Estep is that she is passionate about her characters and it clearly shows in her writing.

The fact that the author has the ability to tell a story that is full of action, adventure, and even some love on the side, yet keeps the reader completely involved, is the mark of a great writer. The story, while number 15 in the series, is just as exciting as the prior books that I have enjoyed. Sometimes when you read a series that is long the author may lose focus, concentration, and the connection with the reader. This is not something that happens in a Jennifer Estep book.

Always delightful and thoroughly engrossing, Unraveled is a perfect addition to the series. It amazes me how the author can continue to come up with interesting events and stories for the main characters. It’s never a stretch of the imagination because you’re completely involved in the book and look forward to each new release with anticipation.

A fun and exciting read with plenty of action! You have to check out this great read. While it can be read as a stand alone, do yourself a favor and pick up a few books that were released prior so you get the full effect of the series.
