About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Incredibly repetitive. If you removed all the redundant language about runes, elemental magic and whos who each book would be less than 200 pages. Won't be reading anymore and don't recommend, it's boring reading the same thing over and over again. How did Gin get those scars? Oh yeah, the author tells you in each book no less than 5 times, same for other non-essential details. Poor authoring, trying to get a word count up?

Absolutely love this series. Its so unlike any other series I've ever read and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.

I really do love this series. I like the characters and how they are progressing and it's really truly one I want to keep on reading.
