Deadly Sting (Elemental Assassin Series #8)

by Jennifer Estep, Lauren Fortgang (Read by)

Overview

It’s Gin Blanco's party - and you’ll cry if she wants you to. Against her better judgment, Gin is coerced into attending a high-society gala with the rest of Ashland's elite underworld. On display: the priceless art collection of her deceased nemesis, Mab Monroe, and an excess of crime-boss swagger.

While not comfortable in her fancy attire, Gin gets vastly more interested in the evening’s events when a group of thieves bursts in and tries to seize the valuable, dangerous gems. Facing a Die Hard-esque scenario in which she must free hostage partygoers while herself trapped in the museum, things get a little bit messy when the bloodshed begins.

Gin Blanco, an assassin who happens to have magical powers, is having a very bad evening. The elegant museum gala she’s attending turns into a deadly hostage situation, and Gin must fight her way to freedom while trying to save innocent lives. Lauren Fortgang returns to familiar territory in this eighth book in the Elemental Assassin series. Her performance of Gin is filled with sass, and she gives this paranormal romantic thriller all the heightened emotions it calls for. Never over-the-top, she performs the characters and even the narration with a syrupy Southern drawl. The leisurely pace helps listeners keep the backstory and all the magical elements straight, especially those who may not be familiar with the series. G.D. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
