New York Times bestseller Jennifer Estep (Mythos Academy) continues her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series with an e-novella starring Silvio Sanchez, the vampire assistant of Gin Blanco, as he goes on a holiday date that turns out to be more deadly than romantic.
Working for Gin Blanco (aka the Spider, the assassin who runs the Ashland underworld) doesn’t leave much time for romance, especially with Gin’s holiday party planning in full swing. But when he catches the eye of a charming gentleman, Silvio finds himself going out for coffee.
All’s fair in love and war, though. Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes he’s being watched. His nice-guy date doesn’t sense the danger, and Silvio wants to keep it that way (and, well, keep the guy alive) so Silvio ends the date early—only to be abducted by some villainous giants.
Will Silvio survive the night and make it back to the Pork Pit in time for Gin’s holiday party? Only if he decks the hall with bodies …
Note: This is an e-novella that takes place after the events of Unraveled, book #15. It is told from the point of view of Silvio Sanchez, Gin’s personal assistant. It is about 20,000 words — around 70 pages — and is available as an e-novella and audiobook only. There will not be a print version at this time. It is priced at $1.99.
This is a novella set in Jennifer Esteps Spider's world and while Gin and the rest of the gang are in it they are not the star of this story. Silvio, Gins right hand vampire is front and center in this story. While he's been in many of the books I didn't know much about him except that he was a vampire, a snazzy dresser, and as organized as the energizer bunny is hoppy.
This book starts out with him going on a date for which Gin was happy but it is obvious from the beginning that this wasn't going to be an ordinary boy out with boy date. He smells a set up so he tries to get his date Mitch to leave.
It soon becomes obvious well at least to me that this was a setup. And so Silvio does what Gin normally does. He kills them all and lets God sort them out. I bought this book with my own personal money and I loved it and loved getting to know more about the secondary characters in Gin's world. This one wouldn't be a good read for someone who wasn't already familiar with that world. This is definitely not a stand alone story. But I give it 5 stars and can't wait for the next story in this series.
