About this ebook

Danger and new enemies await Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—the world of Ashland’s most fearsome assassin—in Unraveled, Book 15 of 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 …

Ratings and reviews

4.5 of 5 stars Jennifer Estep’s UNRAVELED is another exciting adventure in the Elemental Assassin Series. Gin Blanco sets out to discover who the members of “the Circle” are and what is their mission. Meanwhile, she accompanies her foster brother, Finnegan Lane, to Bullett Pointe, where he inherited an Old West themed resort and amusement park that they discover had ties to the Circle. This Urban Fantasy is suitable for adults. This was a fun book in the series. I love that it took place at an Old West themed resort and amusement park. I could easily visualize Gin in disguise. As I was reading, I could imagine the theme song to “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” playing in the background; okay, I’m sure that was just me. Anyway, this would be an entertaining book to see as a movie or television episode. It was full of action, mystery, and conspiracy. I love Gin. She is an impressive heroine. She is smart, cunning, and dangerous. She finds herself in impossible situations but eventually gets herself out of her predicaments. She has wonderful friends. She has a good heart, especially considering she is an assassin. You can’t help but like her. I love that she figures out multiple puzzles in this story. Jennifer Estep continues to do a phenomenal job with her character development and plot. She does a great job of creating visuals for the reader. We find out some things about Gin’s mother in this story. We also discover some interesting things about the Circle. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really like this series, my only problem with this one as with the others is that you have really cool, smart, tough, humorous characters but you can really make them foolish in situations where they should be more aware. I think you can have all these characteristics in your story without making them foolish. JS. I believe this will be my last book.

Love her books!
