A note for parents
This is the sixth book in an urban fantasy assassin series aimed at young adults, not middle-grade readers. The protagonist is a professional assassin who regularly engages in combat and killing; violence is central to the plot and action sequences. The book contains moderate profanity, some sexual references, and dark themes including threats and vampire antagonists. While it has positive elements around loyalty and protecting family, the content is mature.

The sixth book in the USA TODAY bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series featuring Gin Blanco, who by day owns a Tennessee BBQ joint, and by night is a tough female assassin known as the Spider. I never thought I’d need a vacation from being an assassin…. My name is Gin Blanco, and I’m the assassin the Spider. All the Ashland’s lowlifes are gunning for me and trying to make a name for themselves by taking out the Spider. So I think it’s a good idea to get out of Ashland for a while until things cool down. So I’m headed south to a swanky beach town, along with my baby sister, Bria, for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when an old friend of Bria’s is threatened by a powerful vampire with deadly elemental magic, it looks like I’ll have to dig my silverstone knives out of my suitcase after all. But this time, not even my own Ice and Stone power may be enough to save me from coming home in a pine box…
