From Goodreads:
"When a terror from the past threatens Gin’s friend and
body-disposer, Sophia, Gin will stop at nothing to protect her, even if it
means walking straight into a killer’s trap. Meanwhile, the rocky romance
between Gin and Owen reaches a turning point—can they reunite and rekindle
their love? Or will the things Gin has been forced to do in her line of work as
the deadly assassin the Spider keep them apart forever? Assuming, that is, she
survives long enough to find out."
There are times that a series seems to run out of steam by
book 9. That is not true of Heart of
Venom. If anything this
story just makes the series stronger.
Gin is in fine form protecting her friends and family. Owen realizes that the action he blamed
her for was done for the very reason he loved her. We finally see what happened to Sophia and watch as Gin
saves her just as Fletcher Lane did years ago. This story line closes the book on old issues and opens the
way for a whole new set of problems. Now I just have to wait for book 10 to see
how the series progresses.
Heart of Venom moves at a great pace. The characters act according to the
way they have been developed in previous books. Any backstory that is needed for the book was woven in
without the cut and paste of some of the books in the middle of the
series. The plotting keeps the
tension up through out the story.
All in all Heart of Venom is a very satisfying read.
I received an ARC of Heart of Venom from Edelweiss. It will be released on August 27th. Preorder now so you can start reading
immediately.
Pocket Book is the publisher of Heart of Venom by Jennifer
Estep.
