So what more can I possibly say about this book that others haven’t already? 😌 You have to give it up for Cordelia Kingsbridge for her ability to nail it every time she writes a book. 👏 This is such a phenomenal and refreshingly unique book and I savored every moment reading this one. 😍


Both of our MCs are so imperfectly perfect. Both has flaws and their inner demons.


Detective Levi who’s still suffering from a hate crime of gay bashing from his high school days. On the outside, he seems like a completely sensible and calm guy but every once in a while, his inner demons and that unquenchable rage just emerged from their dormant state. 😔 Just recently broke up with his billionaire boyfriend, Levi is lost. So lost .. he still loves his ex but deep down, he knew that they don’t have a future together. 💔 And then, there’s a maniac serial killer on the loose on the streets of the sin city. All he wanted was some peace and quiet for himself. But will he ever be able to relax enough to fall asleep every night? 😢

Dominic, a bounty hunter at day and a bartender at night. He has just reconstructed his life. After he got out of the military, he lost that sense of purpose and got himself into becoming a gambling addict. 😭 That rush of excitement, that feeling of thinking he could own the world, nearly destroyed him completely. But he’s now on the winning streak of life again. He had stopped gambling, he has a good and steady pay and he’s finally doing better for real. And then, he stumbled upon the crime scene of that maniac serial killer while pursuing his bounty. Once he bit something, he never lets go. And he needs to know the very root of this crime and help arresting that psycho to ease his conscience.



Dominic has been interested in Levi for a long time. And when he found out that he’s having problems at home, Dominic actually tried to be a perfect gentleman and a friend instead of exploiting Levi’s emotions. And seven of spades won’t just stop killing. Day by day, bodies piled up and the whole city is on alert. Will they find each other’s soul mate while trying to investigate a twisted case of a crazy serial killer?

The connection between Levi and Dominic is definitely not instant. Levi loathed Dominic before he really knew him. 😁 It’s a must that a cop hates a bounty hunter. Adrenaline junkies such as Dominic only makes police’s work more complicated. But as they get closer and closer, Levi realized that they actually have a lot of same interests. And man, UST between them was just sizzling! 😱🔥 And the storyline? The seven of spades is a mystery. An enigmatic, complicated, twisted and one sick bastard who committed murders with meticulously precise methods. 😳 There’s no winning against him unless they work together. 😌

CK definitely has her own unique style of writing. If this were written by an another author, Levi won’t leave his billionaire boyfriend and they’d drive off to the sunset with a happily ever after. 😂 But no, CK must mess things up of one of the main MCs, uprooted his life completely. 😭 And being thrown in with another MC who isn’t an epitome guy but just perfect for Levi. 😌 And I did say about the sizzling UST .. right? 😁 Wait till you get to the chapter of these two mating. 😉 Nope, it wasn’t a love making, not tender, sweet-loving, pet-talking one. It was dirty, primal, innate and raw. 😱 And oh-so-fucking-delicious! 😍🔥 I just can’t wait to read the second book of this series and I don’t know how I have to wait until the series finishes. Right now, it ended on a massive cliffhanger. With so many unresolved questions. But one thing is for sure. Dominic has Levi’s back and vice versa. ❤️ It’s the battle of two against one. And battle between evil and the good. 😊 But the world isn’t a fairytale however we wish it is. We just have to wait and see on the silver screen CK’s brilliantly directing. 😉



Favorite excerpts from the novel: 💗💜💗

Dominic was no different, even if he did pretty it up with self-deprecating charm and a friendly smile. And what a smile it was—an easy, devastating grin in a face that was handsome enough to begin with, all warm brown eyes and strong jaw. His nose had a small break in it, but that somehow made him more attractive. The thought alone was enough to annoy Levi, who didn’t normally find large guys appealing.

“Oh, yeah, men like him are the worst,�� Martine said. “Big strong guys who chase down fugitives for a living but still make the time to bring you coffee in the morning?�� She gave a mock shudder. “Gross.��

“You referred to your murders as executions. Do you consider them just?�� “Don’t you?�� “No. You don’t have the right to decide who lives or dies, no matter what kind of people they may be.�� “I disagree. The human species has a responsibility to purge its diseased. Like cutting off moldy bread before it ruins the entire loaf.�� Levi felt cold all the way down to his bones;

Vigilantism appealed to the darker side of human nature, the thirst for primal justice that knew no constraints.

“That’s the way it should be. Sometimes killing is unavoidable, but it should never be casual. The day taking a human life becomes something you can just shrug off is the day you find a new line of work.��

“What do you want?�� he asked, pulling Levi close. “Tell me.�� Levi was too worked up for modesty or ambiguity. “I want you to fuck me with all the strength you used to bust through that door,�� he said. Then he cast a mischievous glance at Dominic’s right shoulder. “If you think you can handle that.��
