“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship?
It’s not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will only get me so far—my real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley crew of cops and criminals, dwarves and playboys. My foster brother Finnegan Lane is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead relative comes back into the picture, I’m the one on the outside looking in.
It’s funny how life works: one minute your best friend is rock-steady, and the next he’s doe-eyed and buying into this whole loving-relative routine to the point of ignoring you. I’d like to be happy for Finn, I really would. But all of my instincts are telling me that beneath the syrupy sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this sudden interloper is planning something. The whole shtick leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This person might have avoided the grave once, but I’ll put anyone who hurts Finn in the ground—for good.
I had a bit of a slump with the Elemental Assassin Series by Jennifer Estep a couple books back, but the last few books have been almost better than the first books. Bitter Bite is book #14 and this series is just getting better, how is that? Crazy. I love that this one focuses on Finn. We all know he is the most interesting character in this series. February 23, 2016 can not come fast enough!

I have seen Jennifer’s books around and every time I tell myself to start reading them. They look great and this one is no exception.

I skipped the blurb. I haven’t been wow’d with this series yet. The only reason I got the 4th and 5th book is because they were super cheap. lol
Jennifer Bielman
Awww, that sucks. But yeah, these aren’t going to for everyone.
Melissa (Books and Things)
You know 2014 is past? I know you are like me and want it here yesterday! LOL I love this series too and can’t wait for this one too. Oooh! Finn background. 😀
Jennifer Bielman
LOL, woops. I meant 2016.
Lisa @ Lost in Literature
Book 14?!?! WOW!! I have trouble getting into series. I’m more of a standalone girl. When I start a series, I feel so much pressure to finish it. I know, weird. LOL! Hope you love this one once you read it. 🙂
Jennifer Bielman
I get that. Stand alones are nice.
Melliane
Oh I really need to read book 2 one day!

Melissa (My World...in words and pages)
Oh this is a series I need to get back to. I read the first book and I liked it but it didn’t feel like it had the spark everyone else is seeing. Maybe the next books would pick up for me.
Jennifer Bielman
Yeah, this series isn’t for everyone. There are some faults but the good outweighs the bad for me.
