Bitter Bite (14) (Elemental Assassin)
Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship? That€s the question Gin Blanco asks when a friend€s long-lost relative strolls into town. The suspicious reunion is a surprise for everyone€"and a big problem for Gin. Book fourteen in the New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series RT Book Reviews calls €œunbeatable entertainment!€Â
It€s not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will only get me so far€"my real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley crew of cops and criminals, dwarves and playboys. My foster brother Finnegan Lane is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead relative comes back into the picture, I€m the one on the outside looking in.
It€s funny how life works: one minute your best friend is rock-steady, and the next he€s doe-eyed and buying into this whole loving-relative routine to the point of ignoring you. I€d like to be happy for Finn, I really would. But all of my instincts are telling me that beneath the syrupy sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this sudden interloper is planning something. The whole shtick leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This person might have avoided the grave once, but I€ll put anyone who hurts Finn in the ground€"for good.
