Spider’s Revenge cover unveiled …

• Posted in Elemental Assassin series

Some of you have seen this already, but here’s the cover for Spider’s Revenge, the fifth book in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Pretty cool, huh?

Kudos once again go to Tony Mauro, the cover artist. Just when I think that Tony can’t possibly top himself, I see the cover for the next book and am wowed all over again.

Now, I know what some of you are going to ask: Why can’t we see the spider rune on Gin’s hand? From what I understand, there just wasn’t a good pose that showed the rune this time. But it’s in the title, which I think is really cool. Also, here’s the back cover copy:

Old habits die hard. And I plan on mur­der­ing some­one before the night is through.

Killing used to be my reg­u­lar gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the Spi­der, assassin-for-hire. And I was very good at it. Now, I’m ready to make the one hit that truly mat­ters: Mab Mon­roe, the dan­ger­ous Fire ele­men­tal who mur­dered my fam­ily when I was thir­teen. Oh, I don’t think the mis­sion will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit more prob­lem­atic than expected. The bitch knows I’m com­ing for her. So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters she hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keep­ing Bria safe is my first pri­or­ity. Tak­ing Mab out is a close sec­ond. Good thing I’ve got my pow­er­ful Stone and Ice magic — and my irre­sistible lover Owen Grayson — to watch my back. This bat­tle has been years in the mak­ing, and there’s a chance I won’t sur­vive. But if I’m going down, then Mab’s com­ing with me … no mat­ter what I have to do to make that happen.

Spider’s Revenge will be out on Sept. 27. I’ve said all along that Gin and Mab’s story arc would play out over five books, so I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying that they have their big showdown in this book. I hope everyone has as much fun reading the book as I did writing it.

Are you excited yet? I am! 😉

    I thought the last book’s cover was the best yet, but this one is outstanding. You are so lucky to have wonderful covers on your books. I have read many wonderful books with lousy covers and I hate to say that it does make me more enthusiastic about a good book with a great cover.

    Lucky, lucky writer!

      I know. Every time I think that the current book cover is the best, I get to see the next cover — and it’s just as good. I’m very lucky indeed. 😉

    Nice cover! Some of us we’re speculating on a forum about the significance of not showing the spider rune on her hand. I even looked in the sky for some sort of spider symbol similar to the “Bat” signal. Ah well! I guess I’m a nerd. LOL

    Soooooo, um, is that Mab’s home in the background? ;o)

    • Jennifer Estep says:

      Thanks, Anna! I hadn’t thought about that, but I think that’s a cool idea. I love the old Batman show with Adam West.

      Nope, not Mab’s home but someone else’s we know … 😉

    Obviously, I don’t know what Mab’s fate is just yet, but I know what it should be, and I can describe it in one word:

    Fishsticks.

    Wow! Awesome cover! So excited about the next Gin Blanco story. Can’t believe it’s so close. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

    • Jennifer Estep says:

      Thanks, Louise! Yep, Sept. 27 isn’t too far off now. And I’ll have Touch of Frost, my YA book, out on July 26. So lots to read from me this year. Hope you enjoy them!

      • Louise says:

        I devoured Tangled Threads on release day. I’ve already pre-ordered Spider’s Revenge and A Touch of Frost. You are one of the “must immediately read the new release by…” authors on my list. 😀 Thank you for working so hard to release all these wonderful books for our literary enjoyment.

          Thanks! I appreciate all your nice words about the books, and I hope you enjoy Touch of Frost as much as the Elemental Assassin books. 😉

          I’m working on putting the Bigtime books back up as ebook downloads on Kindle, etc. That’s one of my many projects this summer. Not sure exactly when it will happen, though …
