Web of Lies (Elemental Assassin, #2)
Jennifer Estep
Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon.
I'm Gin Blanco.
You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. Iâm retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots werenât aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, Iâm beginning to wonder if Iâm really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? Iâm a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isnât made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.
By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6)
Jennifer Estep
When killing people is your job, there's no such thing as a vacation. Then again, how often does an assassin live long enough to enjoy her retirement? In this line of work, you either get lucky or you get dead. And since I destroyed my nemesis Mab Monroe a few weeks ago, all of Ashland's lowlifes are gunning to make a name for themselves by taking out the lethal Spider--me, Gin Blanco. So I'm leaving behind my beloved barbecue joint and heading south with my baby sister, Bria, to cool my heels in a swanky beach town. Call it a weekend of fun in the sun. But when a powerful vampire with deadly elemental magic threatens an old friend of Bria's, it looks like I'll have to dig my silverstone knives out of my suitcase after all. Complicating matters further is the reappearance of Detective Donovan Caine, my old lover. But Donovan is the least of my problems. Because this time, the danger is hot on my trail, and not even my elemental Ice and Stone magic may be enough to save me from getting buried in the sand--permanently.

Widow's Web (Elemental Assassin, #7)
Jennifer Estep
I used to murder people for money, but these days itâs more of a survival technique.
Once an assassin, always an assassin. So much for being plain old Gin Blanco. With every lowlife in Ashland gunning for me, I donât need another problem, but a new one has come to town.
Salina might seem like a sweet Southern belle, but sheâs really a dangerous enemy whose water elemental magic can go head-to-head with my own Ice and Stone power. Salina also has an intimate history with my lover, Owen Grayson, and now that sheâs back in town, she thinks heâs hers for the taking.
Salinaâs playing a mysterious game that involves a shady local casino owner with a surprising connection to Owen. But they call me the Spider for a reason. Iâm going to untangle her deadly scheme, even if it leaves my love affair hanging by a thread.
Spiderâs Revenge (Elemental Assassin, #5)
Jennifer Estep
Old habits die hard. And I plan on murÂderÂing someÂone before the night is through.
Killing used to be my regÂuÂlar gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the SpiÂder, assassin-for-hire. And I was very good at it. Now, Iâm ready to make the one hit that truly matÂters: Mab MonÂroe, the danÂgerÂous Fire eleÂmenÂtal who murÂdered my famÂily when I was thirÂteen.
Oh, I donât think the misÂsion will be easy, but turns out itâs a bit more probÂlemÂatic than expected. The bitch knows Iâm comÂing for her. So now Iâm up against the army of lethal bounty hunters she hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sisterâs head. KeepÂing Bria safe is my first priÂorÂity. TakÂing Mab out is a close secÂond.
Good thing Iâve got my powÂerÂful Stone and Ice magic â and my irreÂsistible lover Owen Grayson â to watch my back. This batÂtle has been years in the makÂing, and thereâs a chance I wonât surÂvive. But if Iâm going down, then Mabâs comÂing with me...no matÂter what I have to do to make that happen.
Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy, #1)
Jennifer Estep
My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest. But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why; especially since I should have been the one who died...
Venom (Elemental Assassin, #3)
Jennifer Estep
What kind of assassin works pro bono?
Itâs 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, Iâm Gin Blanco, owner of Ashlandâs best barbecue joint. To my friends, Iâm the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalkerâMabâs 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 Iâll take my chances. Then thereâs Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashlandâs finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, Iâm a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.
Dark Frost (Mythos Academy, #3)
Jennifer Estep
I've seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall. I know I'm supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I'm just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me--again.
Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects--and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I'm also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way. The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom. So why do they have it in for me? It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can't use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me--and I'm in for the fight of my life.

Jennifer Estep
My name is Gin, and I kill people.
They call me the Spider. I'm the most feared assassin in the South â 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 â 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.
Tangled Threads (Elemental Assassin, #4)

But here I am. Gin Blanco, the semi-retired assassin known as the Spider. Hovering outside sexy businessman Owen Graysonâs front door like a nervous teenage girl. One thing I like about Owen: he doesnât shy away from my pastâor my present. And right now I have a bullâs-eye on my forehead.
Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the smartest assassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is skilled and efficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent as my own Ice and Stone powers. Which means thereâs a fifty-fifty chance one of us wonât survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleurâor die tryingâbecause Mab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister, Detective Bria Coolidge, too.
The only problem is, Bria has no idea Iâm her long-lost sibling . . . or that Iâm the murderer sheâs been chasing through Ashland for weeks. And what Bria doesnât know just might get us both dead. . . .

For this exhibition of my late nemesisâs priceless possessions is not only the place to be seen, but the place to be robbed and taken hostage at gunpoint as well. No sooner did I get my champagne than a bunch of the unluckiest thieves ever burst into the museum and started looting the place.
Unlucky why? Because I brought along a couple of knives in addition to my killer dress. Add these to my Ice and Stone magic, and nothing makes me happier than showing the bad guys why red really is my color.

It was supposed to be a nice, quiet, simple dinner with friendsâbut nothing is ever nice, quiet, or simple when youâre Gin Blanco, the Spider, notorious assassin and current queen of the Ashland underworld.
This time around, someone seems to be targeting Stuart Mosley, the president of First Trust bank. Lots of people have grudges against Mosley, but the more I investigate, the more Mosleyâs problems seem to be connected to some of my own, especially when it comes to the Circle, the evil, shadowy group that is secretly responsible for much of the crime and corruption in Ashland.
But when another blast from my dark and deadly past as the Spider comes to light, I wonder if Iâll be able to survive this dangerous new enemy, who has a burning thirst for revenge that will only be satisfied with one my death.

Jennifer Estep
New York Times bestseller Jennifer Estep continues her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series with a novella starring Silvio Sanchez, the vampire assistant of Gin Blanco, as he goes on a holiday date that turns out to be more deadly than romantic.
Working for Gin Blanco (aka the Spider, the assassin who runs the Ashland underworld) doesnât leave much time for romance, especially with Ginâs holiday party planning in full swing. But when he catches the eye of a charming gentleman, Silvio finds himself going out for coffee.
Allâs fair in love and war, though. Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes heâs being watched. His nice guy date doesnât sense the danger, and Silvio wants to keep it that way (and, well, keep the guy alive) so Silvio ends the date earlyâonly to be abducted by some villainous giants.
Will Silvio survive the night and make it back to the Pork Pit in time for Ginâs holiday party? Only if he decks the hall with bodies...
Unraveled (Elemental Assassin, #15)
Jennifer Estep
Danger and new enemies await Gin Blanco, aka the Spiderâthe world of Ashlandâs most fearsome assassinâin Unraveled , Book 15 of the New York Times bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that RT Book Reviews calls âunbeatable entertainment!"
What could go wrong when youâre 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 cityâs most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasnât done me a lick of good in learning more about âthe Circleâ. Despite my continued investigations, the trailâs 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 struttinâ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilderâand deadlierâthan any of us expected.
Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight âŠ

Finnegan Lane might be the most unwanted man in Ashland these days, but heâs determined to try to make amends for his past mistakes...
Bitter Bite (Elemental Assassin, #14)
Jennifer Estep
Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship?
Itâs not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will only get me so farâmy real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley crew of cops and criminals, dwarves and playboys. My foster brother Finnegan Lane is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead relative comes back into the picture, Iâm the one on the outside looking in.
Itâs funny how life works: one minute your best friend is rock-steady, and the next heâs doe-eyed and buying into this whole loving-relative routine to the point of ignoring you. Iâd like to be happy for Finn, I really would. But all of my instincts are telling me that beneath the syrupy sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this sudden interloper is planning something. The whole shtick leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This person might have avoided the grave once, but Iâll put anyone who hurts Finn in the groundâfor good.
Spider's Trap (Elemental Assassin, #13)
Jennifer Estep
Keep your friends close but your enemies within stabbing distance.
One important lesson Iâve learned in the assassination business is that to be the best you have to roll with the punches. Now that Iâm queen of Ashlandâs underworldâby default, not by choiceâa lot more punches are being thrown my way. But I suppose thatâs the price of victory for taking down some of the underworldâs top dogs. Good thing I have my Ice and Stone magic to help me survive my volatile new position. Just when I think things are finally settling down, someone tries to murder me during a hush-hush underworld meeting. But the real surprise is how strangely familiar my shadowy assailant seems to be.
My job is to maintain order among killers, crooks, and thieves, and soon Iâm embroiled in a bloody game where the ability to keep secrets could be the greatest superpower of all. My enemies have all sharpened their knives and laid their traps, waiting for me to fall. But this Spider weaves her own webs of deathâŠ

Now along comes the Spiderâs new arch-nemesis, the mysteriously named M. M. Monroe, who is gleefully working overtime to trap me in a sticky web of deceit.
The thing is, Iâm not the only target. I can see through the tangled threads enough to know that every bit of bad luck my friends have been having lately is no accidentâand that each unfortunate âcoincidenceâ is just one more arrow drawing ever closer to hitting the real bulls-eye. Though new to Ashland, this M. M. Monroe is no stranger to irony, trying to get me, an assassin, framed for murder. Yet, as my enemyâs master plan is slowly revealed, I have a sinking feeling that it will take more than my powerful Ice and Stone magic to stop my whole life from going up in flames.

Iâve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prisonâand the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Loganâs dad.
