review 1: The more I read this series, the worst it gets. Sigh... I hope the next one is the last. Its worst than the Southern Vampires train wreck. The overall concept is 5 stars. The insecurities of the main character, the constant repetition, and the obvious flaws in the plot lines make...

review 1: Read the other low ratings. Mostly what I think has already been said, so I won't rehash like the author. I guess I'm the only one that finds Owen boring. Would not be sad to see him go! I thought there was more chemistry with Donovan, but the author ruined it by not letting him ...

review 1: I enjoyed the HBO series Carnivale and this felt like it might evoke the same creepy carnival atmosphere while adding magic and other elements (no pun intended). My reading clearly suffered from being unfamiliar with the Elemental Assassin series, although conversely there were ...

review 1: I'm always a fan of girl-powered urban fantasy, and this was a pretty promising start to another series in that vein. Gin Blanco is an assassin--she's good at her job, she's proud of it, and she makes no apologies for it. That's pretty refreshing; generally our leads are trying...

review 1: It was sort of disappointment. A lot happened with quite a lot of action but I was annoyed by so many repetitions - why she didn't believe in myths and gods, how she was responsible for her mother's death, how she was only a gypsy without special power... Frankly it hindered the...

review 1: Few things irritate me more than a dumb main character who doesn't seem to get the most obvious and that's what bothered me about the second installment in this series. Kiss of Frost shows Gwen not seeing the most obvious of ploys and it bugged me, because she was so savvy and sm...

review 1: Really enjoyed this second offering in the Elemental Series. Although there is a little repetition with the introduction of people and places, I can understand it since it is still getting people acclimated to the world. I continue to enjoy Gin, the main character. The love tr...

review 1: 4.5 in the Elemental Assassin series. I actually forgot to read this before I started on book 5 so there weren't any spoilers here but otherwise there would have been. This is from Mab's POV so there's some insight here that we've never had before. I do have to say that I thin...

review 1: Awesome Novella!!! If you guys have read any of my reviews then you know that I hate novellas but the author made me love this book as much as the other novels. We got a glimpse of Gin's last meeting with her arch nemesis, well if meeting anyone at their funeral while they are re...

review 1: I loved this book. The Mythos Academy was one of my fave series and I didnt really wanted it to end. Although sometimes I was really annoyed of it. Because it was so obvious what would happen next. Like in this book :-( But I still... loved it :-) Of course there were many things...

review 1: I didn't expect that there's gonna be some crying in here. I didn't expect that this will affect me as much but I cried when Logan stabbed Gwen and she was dying. It would have been more fun if there was more drama, it was too sudden. She died and then next chapter, she's talking...

review 1: This isn't a bad novel in terms of plot and character development. But it needs good editing. The writing is repetitive. The same words are used again and again. Did I mention, the writing is repetitive. The same words are used again and again. Yes, really, it is that bad. ...

review 1: Gosh I loved this book. It had me ensnared from the beginning until the end.At first though, I was a bit sceptic; was "Gin", the protagonist insane... out of her mind? but then everything made sense and I was irreversibly hooked!The plot was amazing, the beginning (after that fir...

review 1: OK, so I see some plus and minus in this book:- Gwen shouldn't weeping away every time, at first I understand. But it gets annoying after 100 pages, esp when she lost in sad memory of her mom. - I know why Gwen don't have any friends: because she didn't give effort to do. She gen...

review 1: Kiss of Frost picks up right where the first book, Touch of Frost, left off. Gwen survived the major face off in the library with the most popular girl in school, who was supposed to be dead, and when Gwen finally got the guts up to ask Logan out he turned her down flat. Now she'...

review 1: Gin Blanco, better known to some as the Spider, had all intents and purposes of hanging up her knives and living the quiet life running the Pork Pit instead of killing people. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Retirement is boring compared to the danger of assassination. Gin...

review 1: This is one of those times where having a whole series available to read, one right after the other, is not necessarily a good thing. Although, most of the repetition would be accepted, if not welcomed had we been forced to wait a year for the next book, I have found myself roll...

review 1: I really like the Bigtime universe and Estep does a great job of playing with the conventions of comic books without being too jokey. She keeps just the right amount of seriousness and light-heartedness.This is a short story and pretty straightforward but still a lot of fun. I wa...

review 1: This was a short story and was told from Owen's point of view. It started with him and Philip having a night out at Northern Aggression (the name of the club). It's supposed to be for him to forget about Gin and mingle with other girls but.. Ha. Gin and Bria had the same thing in...

review 1: A strong four and a half stars! I got this as an ARC from netgalley, but only after I'd already purchased it. Either way, I always try to give the most honest review I possibly can.This one had the promise of being action packed from the first moment I read the blurb. I was not d...

review 1: Nice little story that can be read for free on Ms. Estep’s website. It’s told from both JoJo and Sophia’s POV. They are two dwarf sisters, but very opposite and this story shows the differences (Sophia even talks about it at one point). So though it’s a simple story it’s worth re...

review 1: I do enjoy this series. I would give it five stars if the descriptions were toned down a bit. By the fifth book, the same descriptions of Gin's house, the Pork Pit, her knives, runes, etc. don't need to be in such detail, often a cut & paste of the same wording. Other than tha...
