Gin is an assassin. She kills people for a living, anyone that someone else wants dead she kills; as long as they can pay that is. Then she gets a seemingly easy assignment one that ends up with her double crossed by a client who kills her handler. Gin has to partner up with an honest cop, one of the few, who hates her for killing his partner. Oh, and everyone in her world has a magical connection to the elements.

Opinion: 

This book in theory has everything I like; violence, magic and romance, it should have been a great book. For some reason though I really disliked this it, it might have been because the character Gin is almost twice my age making her hard to relate to or because she is so gritty and crass it is hard to get in to. Whatever it is the book was hard to get through. Usually I can't wait to read a book and I finish them in a matter of days. This one on the other hand I found myself putting down to read others.
