"I'd been noticing lately that Margie had grown a sense of authority along with her breasts. Who knows, maybe her mother had laid out womanly wisdom on her bed along with her new brassiere. Mrs. Crotty had six kids. She ran a snappy household. Systems for everything."

"Too much repetition, needs better magic theory"
Like the narration by Lauren Fortgang
I like coming into a series after a lot of the books have been written so I don't have to wait a year or longer for the next book. When it has been a year, one sometimes needs some review of the characters. However, by the 5th book, not so much. Few avid series readers would start in the middle of the series. I think Estepp could have easily copied and pasted a third of the book, in each of the last 3 books. Thank goodness audible has the 30 seconds forward feature. I have started listening to book 5, Spider's Revenge. I used the skip forward a lot.
I like the character of Gin. I understand that though she is a hardened assassin she has been emotionally stunted by her past and her guilt. But she seems too excessive in her lack of self-knowledge, way too hard on herself. I understand that the two honest, upright, cops who mean so much to her come into her life at a critical emotional turning point in her life. But really it's annoying.
The stupidity I found the most annoying however is her inability to reason out the actions of her enemies and lack of simple technological gadgets like ear pieces & mica too communicate with Phinn (sorry, not sure how his name is spelled since I'm listening to the books) who is stationed up high backing her up with his snipers gun. They have night vision googles, silverstone vests and lots of money. For some one spending lot of money on her knives, who doesn't want to rely on her magic out of fear, I'd think she also have a few more gadgets.
Along those lines, I would think for an assassin with patience who has been trained to plan and prepare, that when her she makes breakthroughs in magic usage she would make more effort to understand how she can control it. Especially, if she is going up against people who are really strong and your afraid of it failing you. Fear of it isn't a good enough reason to ignore it so completely. I mean she seems to lose her knives often enough. She's been told by JoJo, it's growing stronger that it can help her beat Electra. JoJo has insights into the future. Really, she couldn't have gotten where she is without training in her skills, looking for all her possible advantages. She is smarter than that. I would have liked seeing her train herself, or practice magic abilities a little. You've been told this newly strengthened ability saved your life and this brave tough person with family to protect doesn't spend a little more time trying to understand it. I feel like the author hasn't got a clear understanding to the possible science behind the elemental magic she has created for the series. We hear the same limited theory being repeated every book without any advancement.
Despite all my negative thoughts above I like the basic story line, like the characters. I like the suspense of what will go wrong what will go right. I get that little tingle of anxious suspense. I just want more new info and a lot less repetition. I've already heard those books.
"B+ rating..."
My Review:
Overall... 4.00 star
Performance.... 4.5 star
Story... 4.00 star
This series is a prime example of why I like to listen to Urban Fantasy on audio rather than reading the books. These books have a lot of mental dialogue within Gin's head. There is also a lot of repeated information from both the other books and within this single book. If I was reading the book, I think that would drive me nuts, but for me and listening to audio it works for me. This is a series that I can listen to an hour or two at a time and be okay leaving it for up to a week in between chores where I have the time to listen to audio.
And I liked where this particular book within the series took the series. OMG, I love Owen and how all-in he is with Gin. The scenes with him and his little sister, Eva, in this...LOVED!! I also like how things are developing with little sister Bria. And was completely and totally shocked about the revelations about Fletcher in this one....I did NOT see that coming.
The danger side of the story lacked a little bit on this one for me and looking back I'm not quite sure why because I liked the whole LeFleur/Mab dynamic. For me, it seemed like Gin just wasn't as smart with some of her choices in this one as normal. She only lived because LeFleur made mistakes, not because Gin was the better assassin....I'm used to Gin being the best, most kick butt assassin. I didn't like seeing that she truly could have died in this one and that she only lived because of LeFleur's mistakes. Also, I don't think she gave Bria the credit she was due for the fact that they both lived.
So overall, I rate the story lower for the action/adventure part of it, but I give it HUGE marks for the emotional/relationship part of the story. All in all, it was another great installment to the series. The question...will Mab go down in the next book? And Finn's new hook-up, I'm intrigued. hmm...
Reviewing Romance & Urban Fantasy
"Mmm... Owen"
It's getting harder and harder not to spoil during these reviews but here I go....
Gin has stepped up her game on the take down Mab Monroe front. She is taking out Mab's men left and right and now Mab has brought in Elektra, an out of town assassin, in hopes of taking out the Spider.
The assassin's name hints at her elemental power, electricity. And Gin gets a few shocks from Elektra. But have no fear, Gin is the still the baddest ass assassin in Ashland. With her ice magic becoming just as strong as her stone and she is learning that she just might have what it takes to finally take out old Mab.
Gin and her gang (Finn, Jo-Jo, Sophia, Rosalind and Xavier) work on helping free an innocent little girl that Mab's men have taken while trying not to get themselves or the little girl killed.
Gin and Bria work together again and secrets are found out.
On the romance side Owen is back. Mmmm... Owen. He could not be more perfect for Gin. He doesn't guide her by her past and is front and center to help her with her present.
Gin might be a "retired" assassin but the bad guys of Ashland better look out cuz the Spider is now doing her job for free and she is every as bit as dangerous if not more.
Still loving this series and now that I've gotten then review out of the way I can power through the next book, Spider's Revenge.
"Good, solid series."
I really like these books. Gin is a good character and her friends are awesome. The only negative thing I can say is that Estep spends a lot of time repeating Gin's backstory. I guess it could be for people who just randomly pick the book up out of order but because of the long drawl, it feels long winded. Fortgang does a nice job. Her male voices aren't my favorite but she's growing on me.
When I discovered Audible it was like discovering love :-) I love receiving codes and in return I post reviews. Wife, and mom of two,
"assassin vs. assassin"
Tangled Threads is the fourth book in the Elemental Assassin series. In the fourth, installment Gin is close to telling her long lost baby sister that she's alive. She has kept the secret that shes. Broad long lost sister. She knew if she told it would put Bria in danger. That was only one reason though. She was afraid her sister wouldn't except her, after all she was the Spider, an assassin, while Bria is a cop. The story line gets better with each book and this one don't disappoint. Its everything, action, humor, and heated romance. These books are absolutely brilliant.
"Love the characters and world"
I understand this whole series takes place over just a few months in the characters lives but I wish she would stop with the references to the idiot ex-boyfriend who never accepted her for who she truly was, the relationship was mostly mental in the first place. The author is incredibly consistent with world continuity but some of that continuity needs to be dropped.
I actually like how the author has a sub-story running through the series about Gin's past. Every book you get a continuation dream telling you a little more about the tragic "Death of her Family" event.
I gave the story 4 stars because of the time she takes to catch you up on the world and previous books. This is not necessarily fair of me because I am currently on the 5th book in the series after 2 week marathon listening. But it is very repetitious and annoying.
There is also the formulaic obligatory sex scene.
Not a huge fan of those but it is telegraphed and very easy to fast forward over.
This book and series is good enough to suck me in and make me want to listen to the next to find out what is going to happen next. In my eyes it is kind of hard to give better praise than that.
"The story gets better with every book!"
I really enjoy this series. Gin Blanco is a loveable assasin. It's best to start at the beginning with Spider's Bite so you can really get into the book. Gin gets stronger with each book and this one does not disappoint. I highly recommend the series.
Harbinger of Books
"Tangled Threads"
In this installment of Elemental Assains, Gin Blanco our favorite assassin has declared open season on Mab Monroe. As Gin has been steadily taking out Mab's minions, Mab has fired back by sending the best assassin LaFleur after the Spider. Meanwhile Gin is also fighting an emotional battle with her feelings for Owen Grayson and her sister Bria.
This book is really predictable but I still think it was quite good. I like watching Gin start to work on her emotions and start to accept that she has people to lean on. I also think the author does a great job integrating the emotions with the action and it does not feel like it ever drags.
Overall my issues were minor one of them was the believable factor for example Finn who has these amazing sources and is an incredibly talented handler listens to a bartender for information yet does not suspect it could be a set up?? Another minor issue is how everyone knows Gin is the spider, except of course Mab because she is to stupid to recognize her voice. Last but not least is the constant repetition, I know the spider is the symbol for patience, I do remember what happened in the last three books please do not keep bringing it up.
Despite these issues perhaps it is because I listened to this as opposed to reading it and Ms. Lauren Fortgang (the narrator) just smoothed it all out, but I did enjoy listening to this one. While I was never scratching my head trying to figure out what comes next I did enjoy watching things unfold.
"A lot of action"
This was just as action packed as the first ones. It just didn't do it for me. I think it was all the fighting and blood...it just isn't as exciting as it once was. Maybe it's because I've read so much of it. I give it 3.5 stars...maybe 3.75. It is an enjoyable read and I will definately be looking for the next book.
"Love the spider books"
I am hooked on these books and their characters. Part thriller part fantasy very fun listening with lots of action one oft favorites is Sophia the dwarf

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- According to the new BMO Household Savings Report released today, Canadians planning to save in 2013 are aiming to put away an average of $9,859 in order to meet their goals - an increase of nearly $600 over last year, or approximately 7 per cent.
While debt levels continue to receive much attention, the report, conducted by Pollara, shows a brighter side of the personal finance ledger.
The report reveals the various different investment vehicles that Canadian savers plan to use to reach their savings goals:
-- The majority of Canadians are using a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a chequing account (63 per cent and 57 per cent respectively) -- Half (49 per cent) use a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) -- One-third (29 per cent) are using a high-interest savings account -- Another quarter (25 per cent) are stashing their savings in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)
"It's encouraging to see Canadians are planning to maintain or increase their personal savings this year, particularly as we look to balance increasing debt loads and turn around decreasing rates of savings," said Ernie Johannson, Senior Vice President, Personal Banking, BMO Bank of Montreal. "While it's important to pay down debt - particularly high-interest debt - it's essential that households build themselves a financial cushion as well, whether it be for retirement or other goals."
Ms. Johannson noted that balancing the need to pay down debt while still saving can be a challenge, and it's important for Canadians to seek the advice of a professional and create a financial plan that can address both priorities. BMO offers the BMO Smart Saver Account: a high interest savings account that allows for unlimited deposits and transfers into and out of the account and free access to BMO MoneyLogic(TM) - an online personal financial management tool to help track everyday expenses. Currently the BMO Smart Saver account offers a 1.2 per cent interest rate - the highest rate offered among Canada's major financial institutions for a full-service savings account without minimum balance requirements.
Personal Savings By Region and Gender
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Planned Savings for 2013 Region Gender ------------------------------------------------------------ Canada ATL QC ON MB/SK AB BC Men Women ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $9,859 $6,698 $5,477 $10,465 $9,702 $18,035 $11,109 $11,631 $8,091 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cautious Optimism"
However, the poll shows the optimism is tempered by the fact that only half (48 per cent) say they are saving enough to meet their goals, with high expenses (71 per cent), low income (65 per cent), and debt repayment (52 per cent) cited as the top barriers to increased savings.
According to BMO Economics, the personal savings rate in Canada, calculated by Statistics Canada, currently lies near historic lows at 3.9 per cent. By comparison, the rate climbed above 6 per cent during the height of the latest recession, and reached almost 20 per cent in the early 1980s.
The report also identified the most common savings goals in 2013 among Canadians:
-- Retirement savings and emergency savings tied for second (42 per cent respectively) on the priority list in 2013 -- Nearly one-third of Canadians (29 per cent) are putting aside money for home renovations in 2013, while one-in-five will be saving towards the purchase of a new vehicle (20 per cent) -- Education savings are on the priority list for 19 per cent of Canadians, followed by the purchase of a new home (15 per cent) -- However, vacations and the purchase of luxury items, entertainment and hobbies topped the list, with 66 per cent of Canadians putting cash away for these types of purchases
"It is sometimes difficult to balance financial priorities and responsibilities with spending on items and experiences we enjoy," noted Ms. Johannson. "However, given the economic realities, it is key that we don't let the nice-to-dos overshadow our must-dos. Having a balanced savings approach allows us to live for today while saving for our future goals."
To help Canadians continue to build their savings, BMO is offering a 2.25 per cent interest rate on net new deposits to a BMO TFSA Savings Account - the highest rate currently offered by a major financial institution in Canada - until April 30th, 2013.
For more information about how BMO can help make saving more affordable, stop by a BMO branch today or click here.
As part of its ongoing commitment to 'Making Money Make Sense', since 2009, BMO has introduced various tools to help Canadians effectively manage of their personal finances, including BMO MoneyLogic, BMO by Appointment, BMO SmartSteps, BMO SmartSteps for Parents, BMO SmartSteps for Business and BMO SmartSteps for Homeowners.
The BMO Household Savings Report was conducted via Pollara online survey between January 10th and 15th, 2013, with a sample of 1000 Canadians. A probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to +/- 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Data has been weighted by region, gender, and age, based on the most recent Census figures, so that it is representative of all adult Canadians.
