Widow's Web

Elemental Assassin, Book 7

By: Jennifer Estep

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

I used to murder people for money, but lately it’s become 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 don’t need another problem, but a new one has come to town anyway. Salina might seem like a sweet Southern belle, but she’s 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 she’s back, she thinks he’s hers for the taking. Salina’s 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. I’m going to untangle her deadly scheme, even if it leaves my love affair hanging by a thread.

Lost in the story

Would you consider the audio edition of Widow's Web to be better than the print version?

I enjoy reading wiether it is in the written word or spoken, I find that with an audio book I can listen and workout, do house work, crafts, driving or just relax. Either way a book should capture your imagination and transport you into the fantasy world. As for the audiobook better than the printed.... An audiobook is more convienent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Widow's Web?

There isn't any memorable moments... the whole book was on the edge of your seat good

What about Lauren Fortgang’s performance did you like?

her voices and accents were awsome, each individual charcter was distiguishable. I've listened to some audiobooks where the narator was not as good, and although the story was good, the performance made the book less memorable. Where as Lauren, her performance added that extra punch to the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES YES YES

Anxiously awaiting Book 8

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I'm hooked on this series!

Loved it!

This story was nonstop action and typical Spider material but still grabs your attention throughout the pages! The only part that was crazy was the number of time Gin said “my lover” when referring to Owen! Has to be a record number! Anyways, Owen had a love from the past return to town, which put their relationship to the test !

Entertaining jaunt into the world of the Spider.

Would you listen to Widow's Web again? Why?

I have already listened to this book twice. The story is solid but the narrator really brings the main character to life, nailing her rich Southern twang. For fans of narrator Marguerite Gavin, this is a must. Lauren Fortgang turns in a very memorable performance.

Have you listened to any of Lauren Fortgang’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Again, I just want to say here how awesome the narrator's performance was! Kudos, Lauren!

Good, but a little disappointing

I'll try not to put spoilers in, but I may spoil a bit. I don't like the direction Owen took in this book. He always seemed so much stronger and better put together than he ended up in this book. It was disappointing and just made me mad. Is still a good book, good villain, and Gin is awesome as always. I don't think you should skip it, just know you may be frustrated at the end.
