2.5 stars.I'm picky about my PNR so this was a rough one for me. I wanted to like it. I like badass-assassin bitches! Girl power and all that. But, all's said and done, I just find Gin annoying. *le sigh* It had potential.1 - I really prefer to experience what's happening in a book as opposed t...

"Engaging heroine, fast plot, new ideas, fun read"Two things made this book fun:1. The main character Gin is refreshingly amoral - no endless recriminations about "does being an assassin make me a bad person?" - no "only I can save the world" delusions - just a survivor doing the best she can and mo...

For me the romance felt a little as if someone decided that there should be romance in the story and it was shoehorned in a little but overall it was an interesting read. An assassin who likes to think that she's a moral assassin finds herself in trouble when her father figure is killed. There's a...

3.5 StarsI read/Listened to this one as part of a challenge (I had actually started this one a couple of years ago and never finished) and while I liked it..I mean what is not to like with an opening of "My name is Gin, and I kill people", it was a bit slow going and seemed a bit drawn out...yet the...

Finally something a bit original! I must admit that after 1001 stories about 16 year old girls who kick an immense load of asses, it's wonderful to read about a 30 year old who does the same thing. I even started when realising that Gin actually is a woman whose experience doesn't seem ridiculously ...

This series has been sitting on my TBR for way too long! I started it last year by listening to the audiobook but that didn't work for me. I didn't care for the narrator. Then, when I decided to take a break from contemporary romance, I decided to finally start the Elemental Assassins series. Heart ...

This book kept coming up on my GR recommendations. I started reading it and thought, I've read this book before. Unfortunately it can't have been very memorable for me the first time around as I didn't recognise the author or the title. It was just okay for me. I couldn't get into the main character...

I 'read' an audiobook and can tell you that I enjoyed it thoroughly. I felt the emotion behind Gin's story and liked her kick-ass, snarky personality. She keeps her friends close and while this is a story of revenge, payback and finding the bad guys, she gets her fair share of friendship, romance an...
