By: Jennifer Estep

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

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.

Gin versus her Uncle & the Circle

Gin and the gang are finally getting some answers as to The Circle. All roads point to Gin and Bria’s family being prominent members of this infamous group that has been running the Ashland underground from the shadows.
Now Uncle Mason has decided to put Gin to work getting him some answers to something stolen from him.

Gin doesn’t want to work for her Uncle but she has finally run into an elemental stronger than her. So the Spider has to use every resource and friend available to keep alive in this family duel.

We got some answers as to Gin’s father’s death. We also learned more about The Circle. This book was clearly a set up for a bigger showdown but it definitely got my attention. Uncle Mason seems to be the real deal, as bad as Mab Monroe. I look forward to finding out what he’s really after.

Epic

I've loved this series from the beginning. This is the 1st one out of this series that I've listened to on audio though. It DIDN'T disappoint! 💜💙
