Kill Game (Seven of Spades, #1)
by
by
This is the amazing start of one of the best m/m crime series that I know.
Levi Abrams is a detective in Las Vegas. He is currently working on a series of murders with the murderer's trademark being a seven of spades card that is left with each victim.
Dominic Russo is a bartender and bounty hunter who runs across one of the crime scenes of the seven of spades killer. Despite being a civilian, he repeatedly investigates the murders and gets to know Levi on a rather personal level in the process...
Things turn from mysterious to scary when the killer seems to take a personal interest in both Dominic and Levi as they investigate the case.
I absolutely love the romance between Levi and Dominic. It is beautiful and real despite being a completely alternative type of romance, as it is not (yet?) heading towards a married with kids kind of relationship. Their romance is not yet fully developed in the first book, but I can hardly wait for the next book to see how their 'acquaintance' will progress.
I need to point out, though, that the Seven of Spades case seems to be treated a little carelessly by the police department. Given the nature of the crime and the implications raised in the story, I doubt that the book would really end the way it did.
Still, I consider this plot to be one of the very best crime plots in the m/m genre. I can hardly wait to see how it resolves!
Thank you for the buddy read, Adam!

"'Levi sounded even more tense than usual—which, for a man who seemed to walk through his day like a wind-up toy wound three notches too tight, was pretty impressive.'
Oh come on. As if you weren't his biggest fan anyway."
