Reader favorite Gin Blanco is back for this 15th installment of the Elemental Assassin series. Following the end of Bitter Bite, Gin learns that there is still a greater power, The Circle, calling the shots in Ashland and that prior to her death, Gin's mother was a member.
Determined to learn the truth, The Spider in on the hunt for answers. Conveniently, her foster brother Finnegan Lane finds himself the new owner of Bullet Pointe, an Old West theme park willed to him by his murderous witch of a mother, Deidre Shaw.
What starts as a weekend getaway and some cheesy fun, soon turns dangerous with far too many shady coincidences plus appearances by a known Circle member and a few wily assassins. It is a good thing our favorite Spider knows to bring plenty of knives to a gunfight.
Unraveled is another exciting romp in the series. Fans are in store for an intriguing plot, much beloved characters, humor, great villains and plenty of adventure. Gin remains one of my favorite urban fantasy heroines --the assassin with a heart of gold (well, mostly --lol). I love her skill, humor, and humanity when it counts but also her ruthlessness when those she loves are threatened. One true gem in this story is her attire during the one epic showdown. I don't think anything could beat the Spider being all stealthy dressed as a corseted saloon girl. PRICELESS!
I wish there'd been a bit more Owen, but overall this was a great read. I can't wait for the next revelations in Snared as Gin prepared to face another foe--especially one who ordered the murder of her family.
Final rating: 5 out of 5 stars
