Tangled Threads review …

• Posted in About Books, Elemental Assassin series

I’m thrilled to announce that Tangled Threads got 4 1/2 stars and a Top Pick from Romantic Times. Huzzah! Here’s what the reviewer, Jill Smith, had to say about the book:

It’s assassin vs. assassin in the fourth chapter of Estep’s outstanding Elemental Assassin series. Gin Blanco is one the most intriguing heroines on the scene today. As the action heats up, Estep thoughtfully reveals additional aspects of Gin’s character, showcasing her evolution. If you have not gotten on the Gin bandwagon yet, do so today!

After the most recent defeats she has suffered at the hands of the Spider, it is not surprising when mob boss/Fire Elemental Mab Monroe brings in the big guns. As Gin and her foster brother Finn surveil a planned hit, they spy deadly electrical elemental assassin Elektra LaFleur. After learning that LaFleur has kidnapped a child and is planning on assassinating Gin’s still unacknowledged baby sister, Detective Bria Coolidge, Gin goes on the warpath. (POCKET, May, 384 pp., $7.99)

I just want to say thanks to Jill and the folks at RT for taking the time to read and review the book. I appreciate it.

And I have one more piece of good news: Gin Blanco was named the winner of the Urban Fantasy Protagonist category in the magazine’s annual RT Book Reviews awards. I think this is the first award that I’ve ever won for one of my books. I was happy just to be nominated, especially since there are so many great urban fantasy books out right now.

Anyway, I’m totally doing the happy dance today. 😉

    Congrats on the awesome review! I can’t wait for this book to finally be in my hands – I’ve already pre-ordered my copy!

    It’s just 20 days away now…any word yet on the interim shorts? Your publisher seems to be cutting it pretty close with their decision!

        That’s just evil. I know it’s not your fault, but, OMG, it’s taking them FOREVER to make up their minds.

        They DO get that interim stories are NOT interim stories if they don’t appear, you know, IN the interim?

        Sorry. I’m a naturally impatient person.
