The New York Times bestselling
Elemental Assassin series continues with a new e-novella--from the point of
view of Finnegan Lane, the foster brother of Gin Blanco, and a fan favorite of
readers of the series.
The fallout
from his disastrous “family reunion” in Bitter Bite has left Finn feeling hurt, angry, and
depressed. He can barely stand to look at himself in the mirror, much less eat
any of the delicious barbecue from Gin’s famed Pork Pit restaurant.
But when
the funeral for a slain security guard at his bank turns into a showdown with
some nasty underworld giants, Finn knows that he must act in order to protect
an innocent family.
Finnegan
Lane might be the most unwanted man in Ashland these days, but he’s determined
to try to make amends for his past mistakes...

Liza’s Review:
Finnegan Lane is one of my most favorite characters ever in the
Elemental Assassin series. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty mad at Finn when
he blew off Gin's warnings about his mom, but could totally understand him
wanting to connect with the mother he thought had died years ago.
I have to say while it broke my heart to see Finn hurting so
badly for everyone who was effected by his mother's rampage through the
bank, I part of me loved watching him see first-hand for a change all that Gin
has dealt with for years. That being said, I wanted my funny, sweet and deadly
Finnegan Lane back and I loved how he got his mojo back. It was also really
great to get a book from Finn's point-of-view. I have to admit, I loved
watching him fight to protect others just like he had done in the past
with Gin and their friends, but I felt like Finn needed to do this himself
to feel like he had finally done enough to make up for his mistakes.
Unwanted was the
book all the Finnegan Lane fans had been waiting for. Yes it was rough at times
to see Finn suffer, but I feel like my respect levels for him increased because
he grew more because of the horrible experience with his mother
and handling the repercussions of her actions. I can't wait to spend
more time with all of the characters in the next full length Elemental
Assassin book in August.
Rating 4 Stars (B+)
