It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.
I do enjoy the story, but some of the writing style drives me crazy. There are several phrases that are repeated frequently. Donovan Caine was not even in this book and he still annoyed me. I keep reading these books because even though there are a few things that drive me crazy, it is a great series with some great characters. I love Gin, Finn, Sophia and even Owen. I really do not feel much about JoJo, she is not as defined as well as the others. I am not sure what I think about Bria yet.
