Elemental Assassin Shorts

There is a group of short stories on Jennifer Estep's website at http://www.jenniferestep.com/excerpts-short-stories/ which includes a little bit of extra details on Gin Blanco's world and the other characters in the books. Spiders Bargain, Web of Death, Web of Deceit, Poison, Wasted, Tangled Dreams, Tangled Schemes and Spider's Nemesis.

Poison and Web of Deceit take place during Gin's teenage years, the first is told from the POV of Finnegan Lane and the second from the POV of Fletcher Lane. Spiders Bargain takes place just before the first book in the series. Web of Death fits in between Spider's Bite (Elemental Assassin, Book 1) and Web of Lies (Elemental Assassin, Book 2). Wasted fits between Web of Lies and Venom (Elemental Assassin, Book 3)
and is told from Finnegan Lane's POV. Tangled Dreams and Tangled Schemes happen between Venom and Tangled Threads (Elemental Assassin, Book 4). The first if from the POV of the Deveraux sisters and the second from the POV of Bria Coolidge. Spider's Nemesis is told from Mab Monroe's POV and starts before Gin's birth and ends during Tangled Threads.

Thread of Death is an enovella available in ebook only which takes place after the end of Spider's Revenge (Elemental Assassin Books).

I enjoyed all the short stories and the novella, they definitely add something to the overall story line. It is nice to see things from the POV of some of the other characters since the main books are all told from Gin's POV. Now I just have to wait for the next book to come out. But since By a Thread (Elemental Assassin) is due out the 28th of this month, maybe I'll start over and read the novels again while waiting.
