You have to admire the way Estep manages to keep this series fresh and captivating after so many books and years.

There are still so many nooks and crannies to explore when it comes to Gin & Co. Plenty of secrets to uncover, and most importantly there is always an adversary waiting just behind the corner to try and eliminate The Spider.

In this 16th book in the Elemental Assassin series Gin has to find a criminal of the more everyday garden variety. A serial killer with a penchant for pretty blondes.

Now we all know Gin is a sucker when it comes to helping people, regardless of who they are. When one of the mob bosses approaches her for help finding her sister, she doesn’t even think twice about lending a hand.

At some point during the investigation Gin figures out that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, she just isn’t sure whether they are trying to divert attention away from the killer or simply pointing her in the right direction.

Then there is the whole Hugh Tucker thing, it’s interesting. It sort of makes you wonder why he keeps stacking the deck in her favour. There must be more to it than simply liking Mama Snow. It’s not just my imagination right?

Estep knows exactly how to thrill and enthral both new readers and readers who have been following Gin and her Merry Band of Misfits from the very beginning. It is urban fantasy with a slice of snark and topped with a cherry full of violence, courtesy of our very own quirky assassin.

The overall tone and setting for this urban fantasy offering is darker than the breezy gung-go fun to be had at the Bullet Pointe western theme park where all the action took place in Unraveled. In this adventure, we start with the death of a young girl and the disappearance of another. As Gin watches the anguish of her sister, desperate to get her back, it takes her back to her own troubled past – and this is where Estep’s skill and experience kicks in. For those of us with the poor judgement to crash midway into this series, this provides us with valuable nuggets of information about Gin’s backstory – for those who have been following the series, this will doubtless provide further layers of characterisation.

While I’m sure there are nuances and allusions I am missing, at no point was I adrift, or struggling to work out what was happening to whom. I enjoy Gin’s gritty, rather violent take on Life as she is confronted with a range of unpleasant underworld characters. Her ice and stone magic give her some significant advantages in any kind of shootout or battle – but she isn’t invulnerable and when her own cockiness gets her into a very tricky situation, help comes from a completely unexpected quarter.

I really enjoyed the various plot turns snaking through this whodunit plot, where all is not as it seems, as well as savouring the extra information we learn about her traumatic childhood. Once more, an wholly enjoyable urban fantasy adventure full of action and twisty goodness.

While I obtained the arc of Snared from the publisher via NetGalley, this has in no way influenced my unbiased review.
8/10

I love how this series unravels the overarching plot along with new details about Gin's past ever so slowly across the books. SNARED is no different. Just when I think I have things figured out when it comes to the Circle, there is some new revelation that has me asking more questions, which is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to this series. In SNARED we get a grizzly serial killer plot which was pretty fun to try and figure out. There is a lot of grunt investigative work done by Gin to figure things out and she uses some interesting methods to find the killer and his most recent victim. While every bad guy in these books deserves what they have coming; this creepy person really deserves Gin's wrath.

Surrounding this serial killer hunt is Gin's quest to discover the members of and bring down the Circle. There are some more huge revelations for Gin involving her family and this Circle organization. She is getting close to discovering who the head of the Circle is and from what we learn I have an idea who I think it might be. I am kind of wondering if Gin will slowly take down each member of the Circle in the next few books until we get to the last one and meet the head honcho at the last book.

SNARED has murder, mayhem, magic...things I've come to love about the Elemental Assassin series. I've been with this series so long that the characters and world feel so familiar and fun to come back to time and time again. I am looking forward to what comes next for Gin and what life changing scenarios are in store for her in the coming books.

This installment was one of my favorites in the series. It continues this new mystery of Gin's mother Eira Snow and her involvement with the Circle. I love this series and I love the characters. Each book holds my interest because they are action-packed and the mystery Gin Blanco has to solve always keeps me thoroughly entertained.

Book 16 started immediately as Gin was spying on Hugh Tucker in her attempts to unravel the clues left behind by Fletcher Lane. Even while eavesdropping, Gin and Finn can't figure out the identity of the leader of "The Circle". But they are getting close. First, the gang has to help Jade Jamison, a local mob boss, because the Lipstick killer kidnapped Jade's little sister Elissa, the little sister of Jade.

What I love about this author is the way she weaves a story using the past simultaneously with the present. I feel as though Fletcher is alive because he is so instrumental in all of Gin's escapades. Either that or Fletcher was one hell of a sage because he was light years ahead of his time when it came to predicting what his protege would need in the future. Finn seemed to be much better emotionally than the last couple of books after the betrayal by his mother Deidra Shaw. He was back to trading witty repartee with Gin. I found myself chuckling a lot in this book. The snarky delivery by the Spider makes her one of my favorite heroines. She's sassy and smart-alecky but she always gets the job done.

This book was definitely top 3 best installments in this series. If you love the past books, this one is the same but continuing this slow revelation about the Circle. I'm hoping the leader of the The Circle is as fierce as the legendary fire elemental, Mab Monroe, because no other villain has measures up. I'm looking for a crime lord who will make the Ashland quake in their boots.

If you have been reading my blog for a while then you already know that I am a huge fan of the Elemental Assassin series.

I loved this book and I did end up staying up late reading this book because I love the story and I found I just couldn't put this one down.

If you like Urban Fantasy then I think you will love this series. I do recommend this book and I do recommend that you start from the very first book.

I give Snared by Jennifer Estep 5 out of 5.

Snared is the 16th installment in the elemental assassin series by Jennifer Estep.

Gin Blanco has her hands busy. If it's not tracking down members of The Circle and trying to find out more about it and them, then it is acting on redeemed favors chasing down a missing girl on the mean streets of Ashland.

The first member of The Circle that Gin is pursuing is Damian Rivera. He is the most accessible member she has found thus far. He is a drunk, generally reprehensible, and appears to have little security. Gin sneaks onto his property to see what she can learn. His head of security seems to be more of a threat than Damian. Bruce Porter is for a minimum very alert.

The next day, Jade, a minor boss in Ashland, comes to Gin to collect on her promise of a favor. Since Gin considers Jade a friend, the favor is freely given. One of Jade's girls is missing.

In the course of the investigation, Gin becomes aware of the fact that there appears to be a killer on the loose in Ashland. But there is something different about this one. And the hunter becomes the prey.

The book is well written. The characters are like old friends. There is enough backstory given to enjoy the book, but it would be better if the reader was already familiar with the main characters. I liked that what was revealed in the book as it seemed to give Gin more depth as well as her nemesis, Hugh Tucker.

It's a good mystery, well plotted. I had my suspicions as to who the killer was, but there was a nice little twist involved.

Overall, I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It's well worth the read. And it's better if you've been reading the series. The series has lasted to 16 installments and Jennifer Estep still manages to keep Gin and her friends fresh.

Snared became available April 25, 2017 from Pocket Books.

Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book via NetGalley. This review includes my own honest opinions and is given freely.

Unraveled (Elemental Assassin) is an awesome addition to the series! The characters are continually growing. With each book we get more of a look at Gin's past and how it has made her into the person she is today. When a mob boss comes to Gin to help find her sister who has went missing, brings her to the people who were behind her mothers death. Some of Gin's questions will be answered, but she will end up with more questions. I love Jennifer Estep's writing style! I am never disappointed with a book by Jennifer Estep. I recommend this book and series to everyone. I give SNARED 5/5 STARS.

4.25 stars--SNARED is the sixteenth full-length installment in Jennifer Estep’s contemporary, adult ELEMENTAL ASSASSIN paranormal, urban fantasy series focusing on Gin Blanco aka The Spider –the reigning Queen of the paranormal Underworld of Ashland. SNARED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty although I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion and backstory.

Told from first person point of view (Gin Blanco) using present day and memories (flashbacks) from the past SNARED follows Gin as she searches for the mysterious, underground group known as the Circle-a secret organization connected to the death of her parents and her beloved sister. A serial killer is on the loose in Ashland, and Gin and her family of supernatural investigators find themselves on the hunt for the person responsible leading Gin back to the Circle and their connections to the past. New details continue to emerge about Gin’s younger years, and her mother’s possible association with the Circle assassins.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of characters including Gin’s lover Owen, her sister Bria, and foster brother Finn, as well as Gin’s assistant /vampire Silvio Sanchez, Jo Jo and her sister Sophia, and an assortment of giants, dwarves, more elementals and vampires. Vampire Hugh Tucker returns and sets into motion a series events that are both deadly and revealing.

SNARED has moments of intrigue, mystery, action and suspense as Gin and her family of elementals search for answers from the present and the past. The action is limited; the violence not as graphic as in previous story line but that is not to say that the violence is non-existent. Gin Blanco, is after all an assassin, and as Queen of the Underworld there is always someone waiting to take down the woman in charge. The premise is engaging, revealing and spirited; the characters are colorful and energetic. Jennifer Estep’s ELEMENTAL ASSASSIN series is a magical and impassioned look at the world of the supernatural, and all of the evil brought together in a battle for power and control.

Erica – ☆☆☆☆
4.5 Stars

Snared is the 16th installment in the Elemental Assassins series. Jennifer Estep is a master at creating captivating urban fantasy worlds, while simultaneously keeping it fresh in a long-standing series.

Gin Blanco (The Spider) is a kickass-badass heroine. Ordinarily, authors shy away from creating such a fierce character, one who doesn't experience shame or guilt for doing what needs to be done. No woe-is-me, second-guessing inner monologue, where the character asks if she's a good or bad person for her actions. Gin owns who she is, recognizing someone has to do the dirty work, so it might as well be her.

(how best to summarize without spoiling the plot...) On the case to locate a missing girl, Gin is led to Ashland's underbelly, where she encounters the Circle. Gin follows the clues, ties the pieces together, and shows her many talents in the process. Estep also shows her talents as a writer, by weaving a storyline that isn't obvious and predicable.

In a formula that has stood the test of time, Snared fits perfectly with its 15 predecessors. Action-packed, comforting as the characters don't act out of character, and heartwarming to see Gin interact with her nearest and dearest, Snared was pure entertainment.

This is an Urban Fantasy series, where the world-building and mystery-solving are the main focus, not romance and between-the-sheets action. I don't recommend Snared be read as a standalone – it's best to start all the way back to the beginning.


Sarah – ☆☆☆☆☆
I almost forgot how much I love this series! In book 16, Gin is back in all her badass glory. In this book, Gin and her friends track down a serial killer hunting young women. Gin’s hunt for the Circle members continues in the background, but this is a well-crafted murder mystery that could easily stand alone.

Gin is one of my all-time favourite fictional heroines. I love that there is absolutely no romantic angst in this story. As always, she is fierce and loyal, brave and strong. She uses her powers and her brain and she enlists the help of her friends and family. There are moments where she is vulnerable – but she’s always a survivor.

This is also a wonderfully crafted murder mystery. One of the simplest stories in the series, the plot is perfectly paced and clues are dropped carefully to allow readers to participate in Gin’s hunt. I loved the tension and suspense and I loved the way that Gin’s powers and the Ashland community provide an unusual and interesting backdrop for a fairly conventional murder mystery.

This is a wonderful addition to the series. Fans will love this book, but I have to encourage new readers to start at the very beginning with the wonderful Spider’s Bite.

Snared begins with Gin still in hot pursuit of any and all information she can dig up on the mysterious Circle and its members. Particularly who is the head honcho of the organization. Gin knows that whoever is the leader of the Circle is the same person who ordered her mother’s death all those years ago, which, resulted in not only her mother’s death, but her oldest sister’s death as well.

So far Gin has only managed to figure out information on a few key players in the group, but when she is approached to help find a missing girl, everything else is put on hold.

As Gin tries to unravel the mysterious disappearance, clues start coming to light that point to a potential serial killer, and as the clock starts ticking, Gin just may find herself as the next one caught in the killer’s web.

I really liked the departure that Snared takes in that it’s more of a typical mystery—regardless that it’s pretty easy to figure it out by the end. But, if you’re a long-time reader of the series, you’ll know that usually Gin know who her target is at the beginning (or close to) of the book.

In solving the whodunit aspect of the story, Gin, and readers, learn some very interesting things along the way. I was most impressed this time with the history that we learn about, mainly regarding Hugh Tucker, one of the known members of the Circle. The things we learn about him make the flashback sequences something I really looked forward to, and equally make me look forward to any future interactions with him. He’s a bit of a different antagonist than what we’ve seen before in this series, and Snared definitely paints him as a potential wildcard.

Going along with the non-stereotypical “villain” idea Snared also expands upon the notion that not all of Ashland’s underground crime bosses are bad people. The missing girl’s sister, the one who came to Gin for help, is crime boss Jade Jamison. I liked seeing that not all bosses are going to require Gin to kick their ass at some point in the series. There’s the “shades of gray” aspect popping up that this entire series is based on with, you know, Gin being an assassin and all, and it was nice to see it in regard to someone who wasn’t Gin.

Another thing that Snared did was show us a lot of growth on Gin’s part with her powers. I don’t think I remember her using her power so much in one book before without completely tapping herself out afterward. Wielding two elemental powers is rare, so it’s nice to see Gin flexing the obvious badassery that she has—I just kind of wish it didn’t feel like it came out of the blue. I would have appreciated actually seeing her try to work on and hone her strength instead of feeling like it was suddenly there.

Overall, I enjoyed this outing for The Spider. I think the Circle is going to continue to prove to be a thorn in Gin’s side, and I can’t wait to see what comes up next.

Gin Blanco is one of my favorite heroines in urban fantasy. She is a kickass assassin and crime lord (kinda), but she also is altruistic with a huge heart. Even though her main talent is killing people, Gin uses that power for good and is taking out all the big bads and nasties around Ashland. I love the dynamic between her cold and calculating side mixed with her vulnerability and love for her family and friends. And I am in absolute LUST over her cooking... LUST I tell you. I can't read one of these books without having some serious cravings for barbecue, mac & cheese, and good southern comfort food.

As we hit the 16th installment of the Elemental Assassin series, it's hard to believe that it has only been one year since the death of Gin's mentor and father-figure, Fletcher. So much has happened over that time and Gin and friends have really been put through the ringer. From Mab Monroe to Dierdre Shaw, Gin has had an endless line of enemies to battle, sometimes barely winning by the skin of her teeth and sometimes, like in the case of Fletcher, suffering great losses.

The story arc regarding that mysterious entity, The Circle, is heating back up in Snared. Gin has finally started to discover the identities of the Circle members, and she is wasting no time taking her investigation up close and personal. But when a friend comes to her regarding a missing girl, Gin's altruistic side comes to the fore and she puts aside her own investigation and starts looking for the missing girl. This investigation shows that Ashland has even more secrets than Gin was aware of, and it will take her down a dark and dangerous path of discovery. Of course you can expect help from the gang... Silvio, Finn, Owen and Bria with minor assistance from JoJo and Sophia.

There wasn't a huge big nasty in this installment - not like Mab Monroe - but the villain was twisted and dangerous all the same. What I found most interesting was the additional secrets that were uncovered about Eira Snow and the questionable motives of Hugh Tucker. I am very interested to see how this situation plays out as Gin's hunting of The Circle continues. I have a feeling this is going to be the last big story arc of the series, which makes me sad because I will be sad to see Gin retire.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book which I received from the publisher, Pocket Books.

Gin Blanco-assassin extraordinaire and the reluctant queen of Ashland’s criminal underworld- is back and facing her greatest adversary to date. Still looking for the head of the Circle, Gin finds herself with more questions than answers as she continues to gather intel on the group and more memories come to the surface. When a friend asks Gin to look into her sister’s disappearance, she discovers a connection between the group and the missing girl. A connection that slowly snares Gin deeper and deeper into the web of a serial killer.

Snared is an apt title for the Spider’s latest adventure. Estep chooses to give readers not one but two mysteries as Gin not only continues to investigate the mysterious Circle and her connection to it but also finds herself hunting a serial killer. Gin is snared by her various investigations. Action packed scenes intertwine with an intriguing mystery filled with suspense. Witty dialogue and a sexy date night help to balance the more serious scenes. The character driven plot lines continue to maintain a strong emotional tone opposed to earlier installments.

“I’m not going to stop. I will never stop until I find out who every single member of your cursed Circle is.”

Jade Jamison, a minor underworld crime figure, comes to Gin asking for her help. Her little sister is missing and Jade is sure something bad has happened to her. Gin is currently stalking Damian Rivera, a member of the infamous Circle whose drinking habit makes him a prime candidate for interrogation in Gin’s eyes, but she takes some time off from her vendetta to help a friend.

“All you had to do was ask.”

As Gin and her friends dig deeper into the girl’s disappearance, they learn she isn’t the first to disappear in Ashland. There are quite a few missing woman over a two-year period who all bear striking resemblance to Jade’s sister. The police have nicknamed him the Dollmaker but refuse to launch an official investigation. Gin soon learns of the Circle’s influence there.

“You’re saying that there’s a serial killer in Ashland.”

I’m a die hard fan of Jennifer Estep and her writing. Her piece de resistance is her strong heroines whose ability to accept their flaws and learn from them is a highlight of all her stories. Gin Blanco has to be one of her strongest yet most vulnerable of Estep’s heroines to date. Raised by a foster dad/mentor after her family was brutally murdered, Gin has struggled the whole series between what she is and what she feels her friends and family need her to be. Luckily, she has found balance and finally seems to have made peace with herself.

The last couple of books has been focused on Gin, the Circle, and her family’s ties to the infamous crime syndicate. Gin is beginning to remember more about her mother and the events leading up to her death. Her mentor, Fletcher, left her a series of clues dealing with the Circle upon his death but it’s up to Gin to figure out what they mean and where they will take her. I am enjoying the anticipation that Estep is building in this arc and the sense that something huge is coming that will affect Gin both personally and professionally.

“I don’t think either one of us is going to like what we find.”

While this series is a comfortable read that always entertains, I’m beginning to see some issues forming. I am disappointed to see the character (main and secondary) evolution has gone dormant with this new story arc. We don’t see much individualism in the group anymore. This also is affecting the romance. While it still maintains a solid presence, Owen seems to have become more as prop than anything else these days. He’s become Gin’s sidekick along with everyone else. I was also put out with how heavily the foreshadowing is in the beginning and the way Gin’s memories are being used to advance the arc. It all feels a little too convenient and filler-like. Estep doesn’t leave much to chance. Luckily the story is well plotted and the investigation reveals in an interesting and manner that held my attention. Some new faces are introduced and they may be what breathes some new life into the series.

While this series continues to entertain and remains one of my go-to reads in Urban Fantasy for its strong female protagonist I do feel it is falling into a rut of sorts. I look forward to book 17 and seeing if Estep can bring back the edginess and spontaneity that seems to be missing.

Rating: C+

I received an ARC of this novel with thanks to NetGalley and he publisher, in exchange for a honest and voluntary review.

Gin is Back with yet another mystery/adventure/thrillride. This time one of her friend/business acquaintance’s sister is missing and it is up to Gin to find her before her clock runs out.

Honestly i had given up reading the series at book 12. But reading this book has ignited my curiosity in the series now i'm regretting leaving the series. But you all know what that means.... TO THE LIBRARY! (lets just hope they are availible for an entire series re read).

Yes thats right folks i am willing to do a re read because of this book.
it sucks you into her world. either that or i just missed being part of her world again. Either way this book just made me want more! I should have known really. I mean the series has made it to number 16 after all.

This book is to be experienced and i honestly feel like i could give out massive spoilers so i'm going the less is more option.... should you read it? I'd say yes. Should you buy it? if you have the rest of the series i'd say why not, i don't think you would regret it.

Gin Blanco is finally finding names for some of the mysterious members of The Circle, starting with Damian Rivera. But before she can corner him and beat some answers out of him, her friend Jade Jamison's sister disappears. Gin's investigation leads her to a shocking discovery - a serial killer in Ashland. And of course, she makes it her mission to find him and save the girl before it's too late.

I had most of the mystery figured out by the halfway point, but it's always fun to watch Gin work her magic. She really takes a beating in her amazing action scenes! But she still makes time for a few swoony Owen moments, and great banter with Finn. I think I could watch these characters do just about anything. As long as Gin made some food and Finn supplied some snark while they read the phone book, I'd be a happy camper.

While she's playing Criminal Minds, Gin uncovers some buried memories about the day her mother was killed. She also finds some clues about The Circle's leader and it looks like she's about to begin her hunt. I have some theories about how everyone's connected so I'm looking forward to the next book to see if I'm right. I rarely am so it's not likely, but I can't wait to find out.

Sometimes I wonder when a series gets up to a lot of books, like this one which is up to the 16th book, if the author will manage to keep the series fresh. I am so very happy to say that this is one instance where the author is accomplishing that. Not only is Gin settled and happy, but she is still using her skills as an ex-assassin to take care of her hometown. She has recently learned of the existence of a group of people called The Circle which rule Ashland with an iron fist, and her mother was also a member. A friend’s sister disappears, and Gin uses everything at her disposal to find her. In the search, she stumbles across a serial killer and a connection to the Circle. Unfortunately, in this search, the past also comes back to haunt Gin in unexpected ways. I don’t want to say too much and spoil the surprises, but I am more than happy in the way Ms. Estep has formed a new arc using elements from previous books. Using moments from the past, the author skillfully weaves in moments from the present to lay the groundwork for great installments in this series. With the author’s great writing, characterizations, and plots, I look forward to many more books in this series. If you are a long-time fan of this series, this installment will make you remember why you started the series in the first place. If you haven’t started this series yet, you can start here, but I’d say do start at the beginning. Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books for the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed. This exact review will be posted on both Amazon and Goodreads.

I received this book from the publishers through NetGalley but as always this review is completely my own and as a huge fan of this series, I knew I would love it after the first chapter!

Gin is feeling a bit frustrated in this book as she has tried to fit together Fletcher's clues about The Circle and whilst some clues were straight forward, others are not. She still doesn't know who is pulling all the strings and is anxious to find out, but doesn't want to alert any of the other Circle members that she is on to them.

When one of the other underworld bosses ask Gin for her help in finding her kidnapped sister, Gin jumps at the chance, but in doing so opens up a huge can of worms revealing an even more sinister side of Ashland than she realised even existed. The race against time is tense and Gin does get some help from a very unexpected "ally" as well as her usual band of friends.

Gin is just fabulous in this book as she always is. She is definitely my fave book character and a really strong female lead. The other side characters are fab - I do love Finn and his quirky humour. I liked the introduction of Ryan and thought his insights to what was going on were interesting. Might be another bit of romance there too!

So looking forward to the next one! Can't wait for it!

Snared ensnared me from the first page. See what I did there?

Estep has quickly become over the last few years one of my “drop everything to read her books” author. It’s the series I often have a countdown to on my phone for the next book.
These books are never dull and the plots are often hidden enough that I can’t even see what’s coming in the chapters ahead.

Snared is a little different in terms of the case she’s involved in because it’s not someone she loves in direct trouble. Well, there’s always trouble around Gin, but like I said, it’s not the usual kind. When the little sister of a business acquaintance goes missing, Gin finds herself smack dab in the middle of The Circle’s crosshairs. The fight is far from easy and the twists and turns of the “what is going to happen next?”s will leave readers on their seats. Gin’s bloodthirsty revenge is always entertaining along with the banter of her loved ones.

Snared is enthralling and one of the best books of the series.

Book sixteen in the Elemental Assassin series. This book picks up with Gin still hunting for information about the Circle so she can finally take down the people responsible for ordering the hit on her mother. While investigating the sister of a friend is kidnapped and Gin gets asked to help locate her. She finds a serial killer along the way that she has to take out before it is all over. The action and teamwork in the book was incredible. I found myself rooting for Gin to figure it out knowing she would before ti was over. It was upsetting that solving this mystery hindered her progress on the circle investigation I imagine that something will come to light eventually. I look forward to the next book in the series to find out. I give it 4/5 stars.

This series just gets better and better, it is an action-packed page turner full of thrilling revelations and developments that just keep surprising me. Jennifer Estep characters face not only external threats, but also their own inner demons, lending an extra depth and drama to the stories.

Snared, Estep always picks the greatest reflections of her work for her titles. Gin definitely finds herself Snared by the very group she is hunting…the elusive Circle.

One of her friend/business acquaintance’s sister is missing and it is up to Gin to find her before her clock runs out. Gin's search has her knocking on doors that have Circle ties and she soon discovers she’s been pulled into circle business once again.

This series is like one of those deep fried bloomin' onion, with each layer Estep unpeels, you find yourself indulging deeper into the simple joy of it. SNARED is packed full of revelations, with lots of new and exciting, undiscovered depths to characters we thought we knew.

What can I say, Estep is a go to author. Bringing amazing fictional characters that become as familiar as family members. With each installment, catching us up with what's going on in their lives...of course there is way more action, magic and mayhem then most of us will see in a lifetime but we can live vicariously through their tales.

My Full review will follow shortly.
