Saturday Shorts: Thread of Death by Jennifer Estep

**SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS**
Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, might have finally killed her nemesis, Mab Monroe, but that doesn't mean that it's smooth sailing. Gin goes to Mab's funeral to say her goodbyes and runs into some of Ashland's most notorious underworld power players, including Jonah McAllister and Phillip Kincaid. McAllister wants her dead, and Kincaid has his own murky motives when it comes to the Spider, and Gin once again finds herself fighting for her life. Only this time, she might wind up in the cemetery right next to Mab.

I have to say that I was disappointed with this short stint into Gin’s universe. It was not fulfilling in any way, to me. I think my biggest complaint was that it was told in different perspectives. I don’t normally have issues with that, and many of the books that I read have multiple POVs. Maybe it was the people who the author chose to voice that irked me.  I didn’t like either person and did not want to hear their thoughts. However, I am quite intrigued about the connection between Owen and one of these characters. I pray it doesn’t bring bad times to Gin and Owen’s life, but that is inevitable in this series. Gin’s personal moments in the cemetery were touching and I truly felt her anger, sadness and conflicted emotions about her situation.
