This was a quick, fun book with a main character who is strong enough to carry a story line. As this is the second book in the series there are a few mentions of previous adventures but they are summarily described so you can read these alone or get more of a fleshed out version by reading them chronologically.
Gin Blanco is a retired assassin. She spent years killing for hire but now she's just trying to keep busy. When her barbecue place gets held up she does what a girl's gotta do to keep the peace. Ashland is not the place to be seen as looking like an easy target even if the crook is the son of a top ranked lawyer who just happens to be connected to the most powerful and ruthless woman around. But with her elemental powers of metal and ice Gin is no ordinary girl and she's more than willing to step toe to toe with anyone who dares to threaten what she holds dear.
So when a young girl enters her place and asks for the man who rescued Gin from the streets and was brutally murdered, Gin realizes that retirement may not be all that it's cracked up to be. With everything that's been occurring lately Gin makes the decision to help protect a family being threatened. Not for the money but because they remind her of what she was once, innocent and the soul wrenching devastation that came when her family was destroyed. This time she's not going to let that happen.
As Gin delves into ferreting out what's really going on she stumbles onto information that may not only help her clear up the reasoning for her family's murders but also the possibility that her sister maybe alive. With this revelation comes the realization that the one person she trusted may have betrayed her. Gin is about to learn that nothing may be what it seems. Not even herself.
