Gin is a elemental assassin and head of the underworld, so she keeps quite a busy schedule. When her foster brother Finn's mother, who supposedly died thirty years ago, shows up, she knows something is not right. Finn is drawn in by his mother's charm and stories, while Gin fakes the kindness and tries to find out the truth. There are not many people in the world she cares about, but Finn is one, and she will do anything to protect him.

If only life could be as easy as killing everyone who bothers her, Gin would have a lot less problems. But instead she must juggle family problems along with the issues that come with running the underworld and having people always looking for a way to overthrow you.

Things heat up as the perceived threat becomes real and Gin along with her sister and boyfriend Owen must save not only themselves but Finn.

I really enjoy this tight group of family and friends who use their skill, strength and smarts to keep themselves and those around them alive. Jennifer Estep has delivered another great book in the Elemental Assassin series that you won't want to put down. BITTER BITE includes enough information so if you haven't read all the others in this series you will still be able to follow the story and enjoy the book.
