Publisher's Summary

Blood might be thicker than water, but venom is stronger than just about anything… 

It was supposed to be a nice, quiet, simple dinner with friends - but nothing is ever nice, quiet, or simple when you’re Gin Blanco, the Spider, notorious assassin and current queen of the Ashland underworld. 

This time around, someone seems to be targeting Stuart Mosley, the president of First Trust bank. Lots of people have grudges against Mosley, but the more I investigate, the more Mosley’s problems seem to be connected to some of my own, especially when it comes to the Circle, the evil, shadowy group that is secretly responsible for much of the crime and corruption in Ashland. 

But when another blast from my dark and deadly past as the Spider comes to light, I wonder if I’ll be able to survive this dangerous new enemy, who has a burning thirst for revenge that will only be satisfied with one thing: my death.

Struggling with main character

Lauren Fortgang does a great job as usual, however, Gin Blanco has become tiresome.

It was okay for her to be an occasionally inept assassin somehow surviving every ordeal by sheer luck and feeling guilty about her past but in the last few books it's become grating.

In Venom in the Viens Gin has become annoyingly whiny lamenting about how she is responsible for making the evil character what they are today while at the same time knowing the character was already evil.

In addition, on one hand she can take out multiple trained giant guards by herself but then somehow loses all her fighting skills, doesn't use her magic effectively and gets beaten to near death.

It's time Gin accepted her role as underworld queen, stopped whining about her past, takes charge and kicks butt like the strong, ingenious and feared assassin she's supposed to be!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
