New York Times bestseller
Jennifer Estep continues her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series with a
novella starring Silvio Sanchez, the vampire assistant of Gin Blanco, as he
goes on a holiday date that turns out to be more deadly than romantic.
Working for Gin Blanco
(aka the Spider, the assassin who runs the Ashland underworld) doesn’t leave
much time for romance, especially with Gin’s holiday party planning in full
swing. But when he catches the eye of a charming gentleman, Silvio finds
himself going out for coffee.
All’s fair in love and
war, though. Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes he’s
being watched. His nice guy date doesn’t sense the danger, and Silvio wants to
keep it that way (and, well, keep the guy alive) so Silvio ends the date early—only to be abducted by some
villainous giants.
Will Silvio survive the
night and make it
back to the Pork Pit in time for Gin’s holiday party? Only if he decks the hall
with bodies...

Review:
Nice Guys Bite is Silvio's story and
from his point of view. As much as I love the series being from Gin's point of
view, I love when Ms. Estep gives us a story from another character's point of
view as well.
I
adore Silvio and how hard he works to keep Gin in charge of the underworld in
Ashland. Especially since he stops her from killing people just because they
are getting on her nerves on a regular basis. I love that although Silvio works
for Gin, they have really become great friends and Gin pushes him to go on his
coffee date with Martin.
Of
course, being in Ashland of course nothing is as it seems. Silvio must fight of
giants to protect himself and Martin and as with anything else in Ashland,
things aren't always as they seem. I had always adored Silvio, but I absolutely
loved him after watching him battle giants with the strength he gained from
drinking their blood, and his battle of wits against an unsuspecting enemy.
It
seems that the Ashland underworld never takes a break, not even for Christmas.
I loved everything about Nice Guys Bite
and am now more than ready for the next full-length story in the series.
