The truth won’t set me free - but it will probably get me killed....

As Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, I’m used to having a target on my back. But ever since I started investigating the secret society known as the Circle, that target seems bigger than ever.

Still, I’m trying to relax and enjoy the events leading up to my friends’ wedding when I learn that an old enemy has returned to Ashland. And that’s the just beginning of my latest nightmare. Soon, I have Circle goons watching my every move, but I have no choice but to continue searching for a key piece of evidence against the evil group.

The deeper I dig, the more horrifying secrets I uncover, and the more dangerous things become for me and my friends. Just when I think I finally have a handle on things, a shocking revelation shatters my heart and leaves me with an ugly realization - that betrayal is the sharpest sting of all....

As always great story

In this action packed story more secrets are revealed. Gin learns the shocking identity of the head of the Circle and the reason for her parent’s deaths. All of Gin’s family and friends lives are threatened if she doesn’t complete the Circle’s leader request. Some enemies appear to be helping her, but why. Some friends appear to betray her. Must read!

how have I read this and the next ?

I seam to remember this book and the next don't know how but they're both good

Gin is getting closer to taking down the Circle

Well this book was nonstop suspense and action. I couldn’t put it down. Gin has been taking down the Circle for a few books now but the truth about the leader really shocks her to the core. This book was filled with more shocking revelations about her family and Fletcher. It was just a very emotional one for Gin and the gang because they are questioning everything they thought they knew about a family member.

We also finally get to see Mason in this one and how ruthless he can be. I never expected him to make the first move or to be so bold about it. His power is daunting and I am excited to see how Gin deals with taking him down. There is also some new information about Hugh Tucker which will be interesting to see how it plays out.

This one also shows how much of a mad genius Fletcher was when it came to hiding clues apparently. That man really was smart and strategic when it came to planning ahead and we are finally starting to see that Gin can also be strategic like he was. Overall, this was a wonderful addition to this series and I can’t wait to see what Gin will do next.

Also, I love all the flirting between Liam and Silvio in this one. I really hope they get their own novella.

Love them all.

I absolutely love this series. I am so excited about the next book coming out. I am now getting ready to listen to other books from this author.

Frustrated

Is Gin really this unimaginative? Is her ice and stone that pitiful? I know a good story needs suspense, drama and the like but Gin who is supposed to be powerful, runs out of it very quickly while her enemies seem to have an endless supply. Her enemies and friends actually think up ways to use their magic yet here is Gin 17/18 stories in, yet she still flounders using her power. Then there is the fact her enemies bring guns to the fight yet she only brings knives? What freaking assassin would leave themselves that vulnerable. I’m to the point of giving up on Gin ever growing and evolving. Plus I swear she has to be the clumsiest assassin I’ve ever read about. She calls it unlucky but I call it not paying attention. She makes such rookie mistakes for being this badass assassin. I’m not even sure how she’s managed to stay alive this long. Please for the love of my sanity and to continue reading the series let Gin show a little ingenuity and imagination. Stop repeating things every durn book that we have memorized by now because you put the same thing into every single book over and over again. I’ve loved your Gin stories and have managed to get past the annoying things mentioned above and want the series to continue but pretty, pretty please show some character growth.
