Web of Lies by Jennifer EstepMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved Gin yet again in this book. I have to say that Jennifer Estep is pretty repetitive. She feels the need to recap on many things in the current book and previous books. I don't really understand why a person would read the second, third or fourth book in a series if they haven't even read the first book. Even though the romance hasn't so much progressed in this book between Gin and Donovan, I love the plot so much that it overshadows that. As soon as the shooting happened at the restaurant, I knew that it had nothing to do with Gin.
I was so happy when Owen came into the picture. I had just been thinking that Gin needed a new love interest. I didn't really know what his angle was either but I still felt like he was genuine. Especially at the party. Gin just couldn't win. First she runs into Jake, then Mab and Finally Owen. I really felt like Mab didn't care about what happened with Jake. He was always causing trouble. I'm sure she's happy to be rid of him even if it is her attorney's son. I just can't believe that Mab wouldn't know who Gin was after what she did to Gin's family.
Donovan bothered me so much throughout this whole book. I just wanted him to go away so much. I knew it was true, that it would never work with them. Just like Fletcher's old friend said. But I really wanted it to work out. I was hoping he would change. His morals were way too high even though the people who Gin killed needed killing. Even after he found out what kind of partner he had, he still couldn't just be with Gin, want her. When he saw her after the situation with the Dawson, he wished that she had died in the mine. That's horrible. At that point, he was pretty dead to me. I couldn't believe that he came to see her before he left town. That reminds me of a situation when I was about 20. If you've already said that you don't want me and I've already told you bye, don't come to see me unannounced to let me know you're leaving the city.
Overall, great book. I can't wait to finish the next book. I want to read the entire series. The characters are growing on me. Definitely Gin, Finn, Jojo, Owen. I'm loving them as I do a few other too. If only Ms. Estep wouldn't be so repetitive. I find myself zoning out when she would think about the past or go back over something that happened in an earlier book or an earlier chapter within the same book. Now that I'm on book 3, I shouldn't need to know anything that happened in book 1.
