After Reading Web Of Lies By Jennifer Estep

Sorry this contains spoilers..

I was justified when I previously said that the detective was an A**hole when at ending of the book, he just totally ignored Gin, even when she looked like she was ran over by a truck, all bruised and bloody .  Not far from what actually happened, a mining cave fell down on her when she tried to save herself from a dwarf and his goons.  Gin even deduced that the detective was not happy to see her alive when he just turned his back and let Owen Grayson take care of her.  Apparently disappointed that she wasn't buried alive in the cave with the others. I hope that'll kill whatever feelings Gin has for the detective.  I have high hopes for Owen Grayson.  Gin is better off shifting her love interest to someone who would pursue her rather than the other way around.
There were a lot of hints that it was Mab Monroe who killed Gin's mother and sister and was the fire element who tortured her, branding her hands with the spider rune.  There was no actual proof yet for Gin to finally confront Mab but to me it's glaringly evident.  Unless the author deliberately wants her readers to be misled. Now with her ice element is as strong as her stone element, Gin is definitely going to be a force to be reckon with.
Will be grabbing book 3 soon as I find one!


**** (4 stars)

Reading Web Of Lies By Jennifer Estep

Ok so I wasn't really thrilled about Spider's Web.  I was irritated on how the character seems to repeat herself over and over but I was curious enough to read book 2, Web of Lies. Gin Blanco being an orphan has more than a lot of issues to face and now that her foster father who trained her to be an assassin like him was dead, she resigned herself to an ordinary life and leave her lucrative career as the infamous assassin, Spider. But once an assassin, always an assassin.  She can never really leave that life behind.
I'm still in the middle of the book though.  So far I'm quite liking it than book1, less repeating of her thoughts and feelings.  But another thing has made my ire rise.  The detective and his holier-than-thou attitude wants me to smack his head in aggravation.  He thinks he's too good for Gin but can't seem to control his lust for her.  But after the raging heat had past, he always blames Gin and guilt would eat at him like he had just committed a mortal sin. I think, Gin shouldn't be too easy and show a bit of pride and let the detective do the moves. Truly I think he is such an a**hole, treating Gin like that.
Anyway, I'm still reading and seething..be back for updates.
