Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot.

Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art museum. But it’s just not meant to be. For this exhibition of my late nemesis’s 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.

Story Rating: 4.00
Character Rating: 4.50Audio Rating: 4.50 (Not part of the overall rating)

First thought when finished: Gin manages to get herself into some of the stickiest situations and it is so darn fun to watch her get out!

“Have I ever told you how scary it is that you think of heels in terms of their possible shiv potential?” ― Jennifer Estep, Deadly Sting

Story Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one night heist story! It was fun and so typically “The Spider”. It was fun watching Gin be in her element and yet not. That dress just cracked me up. I thought this was a good book to follow up the emotional killer that was Widow’s Web. It brought the fun, action, and suspense that we love in this series while not ignoring the last book.Yet it gave our emotions a little healing time which I think we all needed.

Character Thoughts: I will admit that there is some redeeming that still needs to be done with Owen in my eyes. However, in this one he did good! Gin was terrific as always and Finn stole the show. Seriously, I have a major crush on Finn and could wax on for hours about him. He just freaking rocks! I was happy to see the whole team there and can’t wait till the next installment!

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated by Lauren Fortgang/Running Time 11 hrs and 8 mins

I am just going to say it: YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THIS SERIES IN AUDIOBOOK! It is probably one of the consistent and well done audio series out there! That is my PSA for today!

Final Thoughts: I wonder if Jennifer would write faster if we plied her with chocolate and coffee?

    I liked this book, but it was not my favorite in the series, mostly because of Owen, he was so good and very certain of their relationship, even when Gin wasn’t. Guess I just have to wait for the next book to know if he gets better.

    I listened and read this one as I couldn’t put it down for long. I really liked the audio. One of the better ones I’ve listened to in my limited audio book experience. I was still frustrated with Owen. Sure, he showed a little, but just not enough for me. I still wanted to slap him. Gotta defend my girl, ya know? Finn? Who could top Finn?

    I read this one through Edelweiss too and I grabbed it on audio when it released. I plan to listen to it before the next one comes out. This is one of my favorite series on audio.

    love this series! Given, I have read the physical books, I have yet to listen on audio. I haven’t had the best luck picking up audio halfway through a series either, the voices always sounds so much different than what I had imagined. I’m very curious to see what happens w/ Owen in the next book, I’m pretty disappointed in him..
