Highly enjoyable!

This is not only my first book by Jennifer Estep, but also my first taste of Urban Fantasy. It was an awesome thrill ride and Im very excited to start the next in series, as this one left us with a HUGE cliffhanger.

We meet Gin Blanco, a stone elemental who was left homeless after a fire elemental murdered her family. At age 13 she was taken in by Fletcher, the owner of the Pork Pit, where Gin works on the side.

Now at age 30, Gin is comming into her powers at theor fullest, and decides to do one last assasin job, and then retire. However, things go wrong when her employer double crosses her, and sends another assisn in to finish her off.

In steps Donovan Caine, the sexy yet reluctant detective determined to take Gin down for killing his former partner.

Paired up with Donovan, Finnegan (Fletchers' son), Sofia and Jo-Jo (twin dwarves, one Goth, and the other Air Elemental); Gin and her crew set out to uncover the secret about why Giles was wanted dead, and who double crossed her.

This was a GREAT book! Full of mystery, lust, murder, and blenty of blood, gore vampires, giants, dwarfs, and a perfect touch of paranormal, and you have the perfect thrill ride. Gin is a strong character whos not afraid to get her hands dirty.
