As Enne unearths an impossible secret about her past, Levi’s enemies catch up to them, ensnaring him in a vicious execution game where the players always lose. Their search for clues leads them through glamorous casinos, illicit cabarets and into the clutches of a ruthless mafia donna. Enne’s offer of compensation, however, could be the solution to all his problems. Levi is also only one payment away from cleaning up a rapidly unravelling investment scam, so he doesn’t have time to investigate a woman leading a dangerous double life. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected-he’s a street lord and a con man. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school-and her reputation-behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted.įrightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer.

Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets…Įnne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. Ace of Shades is a book with many different aspects to it and I wanted to be sure that I gave it it’s due. I was glad to have managed to read a review copy before a lot of the hype had taken hold as I wanted to avoid a Caravalsituation. Hello humans! I have to salute whoever is in charge of marketing Ace of Shades (and, I suspect, Amanda Foody herself did a heck of a lot of work) because they’ve managed to create a lot of hype for this book.
