Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, might have finally killed her nemesis, Mab Monroe, but that doesn’t mean that it’s smooth sailing. Gin goes to Mab’s funeral to say her goodbyes and runs into some of Ashland’s most notorious underworld power players, including Jonah McAllister and Phillip Kincaid. McAllister wants her dead, and Kincaid has his own murky motives when it comes to the Spider, and Gin once again finds herself fighting for her life. Only this time, she might wind up in the cemetery right next to Mab….
Also in this series: Spider's Bite, Web of Lies, Venom, Tangled Threads, Spider’s Revenge, Haints and Hobwebs

Thread of Death is a great shot story setting up for the change in Ashland and what is coming for Gin. We get three different POV’s in this one. I loved the three different POV’s. We get action, some hints, and letting go of one era and moving into the next.
Don’t read this unless you have read up to book 5 or past, because this short gives away a lot of what happened in the previous novels and sets use up nicely for whatever is coming next.
Rated: 4 Stars

I do love when you get different POVs in novellas that you don’t normally get in the full length novels. I’m loving revisiting this series through your reviews. I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
I’m glad you are enjoying the revisit through my reviews.
I do want to get back to this series. It looks like I have read up through book 9 but without the short stories or .5 like this one. I think I’ll read all those before I read #10 to put me back into the series. Anne – Books of My Heart
Hope you enjoy the short stories/novellas. Happy Reading!
