First line: My name is Gin, and I kill people.
Thank you, Ms. Estep, for writing this book. First one in, and I'm feeling very committed.
After a major reading slump that lasted almost half a year, I needed this book (and this series) like I need manna from heaven, a cold drink on a hot day, the extra oily cabana boys down in Key West. A long urban fantasy series with some serious characters, plot you can sink your teeth into, and rich world-building that leaves you wanting to explore more.

She does her job and tries to stay one step ahead of her ugly past, which doesn't seem to want to let her go. I admired that for the most part she keeps things real and honest, even if it's uncomfortable. She keeps her ow ...more

Spider's Bite was a really enjoyable story. Jennifer Estep has crafted a fascinating world filled with elemental power and I can't wait to learn more about it.
Gin Blanco was pretty badass. She talked tough, but had the skills to back it up. I loved seeing her in action. I hope we learn more about her family and what happened to her in future books. Mainly I just want to know why they were targeted.
Finn was a great partner for Gin. He was funny and snarky and just played so well off her. I also r ...more

3.5 stars - not sure if I will continue this series or not. Good if you like an anti-hero, though
