Ding dong the witch is dead!!! Finally!! I'm so happy this story arc is over! Don't get me wrong, while I've been enjoying this series, I was starting to wonder exactly how long the whole evil Mab Monroe needs to die arc was going to go. Semi-retired Gin is back again in the fifth installment of the Elemental Assassin series and as expected she is kicking but and taking names. Finally Gin has decided that it's time to slay the dragon, sort of speak. She feels that Bria and the rest of her adopted family are in danger because of her never-ending vendetta against Mab and her lackeys. 
 For those who have been reading along know that Mab murdered Gin and Bria's mother and baby sister, For decades Gin thought Bria was dead as well, but recently they found each other and Gin will stop at nothing to get revenge against Mab, and the only way to do that is to kill her. 
 The secondary characters were just as present in this book as they were in the past books if not even more. Owen, Finn, Bria, Xavier, Roslyn, and the Deveraux sisters all add a lot of depth to the story. They allow us to see Gin interact as more than just a stone cold killer. 
 My one complaint about this book was the constant rehashing of the previous plot lines for the first 100 pages or so. There were certain things that were brought up again, and again, and again. Seriously, we've been reading all of the books, we know, we understand what's going on! Promise! But, on the plus side, once we got past that 100-120 page mark, the repetition wasn't as bad.
