The main character in this book is one of my new favorites. She is tough, gritty, strong, and at the same time, she is loving, compassionate, and most of all, loyal.

Gin is an elemental assassin. She can manipulate stone and ice. Her use of magic, while sometimes necessary, is not her strength. Her strength comes from knowing when to use the magic and when to use her street smarts (much she learned from her handler and her handler's son). She is the best at what she does- being an assassin. She is also a wounded soul that doesn't trust anyone and uses her tough exterior to hide her true self.

My only complaint is the ending. It felt like a let-down. It was okay but considering how strong the writing, and story telling was in the beginning, I expected so much more at the end. Regardless, if you like characters like Cat in Halfway to the Grave, you'll love Gin!

This is an urban fantasy but does have one very steamy scene!
