Spider's Trap by Jennifer Estep

Getting another glimpse of the young Gin before she evolved into the Spider is always quite interesting. The reader gets a chance to understand her motivation a little bit better, and just how much Fletcher shaped her as an assassin and as a person.

This time it isn't quite as obvious whether Gin has a new nemesis or not, because neither the target nor the intention of the new enemy is clear.

Snippets of memory are dragging on Gin's subconscious. Her gut feeling is trying to warn her and make her remember something she has locked away in a tidy little box in her head.

It's strange that Gin feels guilt rather than a sense of empathy with the actual target of the attacks. They have a lot in common, and yet perceive each other as enemies.

As a reader you can still feel the ripple of mega Mab being gone. So far not one person has lived up her evil scheming ways and ice-cold heart. Gin is just chewing them up and spitting them out like old bubble gum.

Estep needs to make sure to keep the story fresh for long time readers and intriguing enough that new readers want to go back to the beginning. It's time for a real challenge and not just another ode to her greatness.

Estep slips in the next potential threat in a very subtle way. A person who will certainly wreak havoc on Gin's family and friends, Can't wait to see the fallout from that in the next book.
