Spider’s Revenge by Jennifer EstepMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is not my usual book review. For book five of Elemental Assassin, I pretty much compiled my thoughts that I had throughout the book.
I keep thinking that Bria will just accept Gin easily but when I think about it, I don’t know how I would handle someone close to me going out to kill people. It’s difficult for Bria and Gin knows it. If it wasn’t for Gin, Bria wouldn’t have made it through quite a few ordeals. Yet still, deep down inside Bria continues to judge Gin.
It was the sweetest thing ever when Bria climbed into bed with Gin and hugged her. And Gin cried. She finally showed some emotion that I hadn’t seen since book 1. I can’t imagine that, being like that with someone. I don’t actually like physical contact with most people and with many of the people that I do let touch me, it’s only for about 5 to 10 seconds. I wish I had that connection with someone but I never really have. I had a feeling that Gin was going to wake up screaming since she had nightmares all the time. Bria really opened her heart to Gin at that moment and tried to take care of her big sister.
Goodness, I so wished since book four that Gin could just tell Owen how she really feels. She knows she loves him just like she knows that Finn is falling for Bria. Owen nearly told her that he loved her but he stopped because he knew that she wasn’t ready to hear it, accept it, or reciprocate the feelings. He finally says it but she still can’t. She probably hadn’t told anyone that she loved them since she was a child so it’s understandable. I can’t stand what Donovan did to her but thank goodness he’s out of the picture.
Honestly, since Gin was going after Mab, I can’t believe that Finn got it on with Bria. Obviously something bad could have happened which it did. And they were busy having sex. Finn didn’t answer his phone. Considering last night I nearly had a panic attack because two people I love didn’t answer their phones because they were busy having fun, I completely see where Gin was coming from. I ended up having to go find them and they were fine. It was so inconsiderate. Finally when Finn did answer his phone, at the end of the conversation Gin says, “Answer your F****** phone next time!” At this point Gin needs a dang gun! Why doesn’t she have one!
Even though Bria doesn’t make it out of the madness unharmed, no one else is captured in the fray and they are all able to gather at the safe house to figure out a game plan. I knew that her friends/family wouldn’t let her go up against Mab alone, thank goodness.
Owen was bad ass in the fight with the giants when Gin tried to take on Mab but her cover was blown.
