The fifth book in the “outstanding” (Romantic Times) Elemental Assassin fantasy series featuring Gin Blaco, who by day is a waitress at a Tennessee BBQ joint, and by night is a tough female assassin.
Old habits die hard for assassins.
And I plan on murdering someone before the night is through.
Killing used to be my regular gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the Spider, assassin-for-hire. And I was very, very good at it. Now, I’m ready to make the one hit that truly matters: Mab Monroe, the dangerous Fire elemental who murdered my family when I was thirteen. Oh, I don’t think the mission will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit more problematic than expected. The bitch knows I’m coming for her. So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters Mab hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keeping Bria safe is my first priority. Taking Mab out is a close second. Good thing I’ve got my powerful Ice and Stone magic—and my irresistible lover, Owen Grayson—to watch my back. This battle has been years in the making, and there’s a good chance I won’t survive. But if I’m going down, then Mab’s coming with me . . . no matter what I have to do to make that happen.
I love this series. I think that each book gets better and better. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the repetitiveness of the storytelling. I think you could knock 50 pages out of this book if you removed the repetitions. Do you really need to tell us that Fletcher was the Tin Man every time you mention his name? With all that said, I love this storyline. I love Gin, she is a great character. That is what keeps bringing back to this series.
This book was one of the best in my opinion. We find out more about Sophia. Owen and Gin move forward. Jo-Jo and Gin have a nice heart to heart. As much as I love this series, I really feel that this would have been a great book to end the series. I really like Gin, but I just don't know where she goes from here. I hope that her story continues well.
