What kind of assassin works pro bono? 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.

This series continued to thrill me. It keeps moving forward In Gin's quest for revenge on Mab Monroe. Things are forcing her from retirement and forward to help Ashland and her friends.
A book with non stop action from start to finish! I could not put this book down, always wanting to see what was happening next. I also loved that you found out a little more about the Deveraux sisters, maybe just hints now but Estep leaves a promise of more information to come.
While I really like the concept of the Elemental Assassin books and love how Gin has grown since book one, I'm having a very difficult time with the constant repetition that goes on throughout the books. How many times do we need to be reminded of Gin's powers or that she is dating Owen, or that Jo-Jo is a hairdresser that has air elemental powers and is a healer. It is driving me crazy. I understand that some degree of mentions should be done of previous information (when it's pertinent to the direction of the storyline) but come on by book 3 we shouldn't still need to be reminded of the basics in the story. Geez!!!!
I am really loving this series. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought it dragged on in a couple of spots. I really love the narrator. I'm excited to read the next one.
