One-Eyed Jack – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Eva Lucia Santella, the so-called Queen of Spades (and aunt to another Kristi Belcamino heroine, Gia Santella), is a wealthy, martial arts grand master and leader of a literal army of women ‘soldiers,’ who live and train at her fortified villa on one of Italy’s lesser-known beaches.
‘One-Eyed Jack’, (an online tag) brings an impending atrocity to the Queen of Spades website. Eva acts swiftly to meet up with ‘Jack’ and brings in a young actress, Molly, to form a team that can bring down the evil terrorist, Sebastian.
Will Eva be in time to save the day, rescue the victim’s and punish the evil and guilty perpetrators?
Get Kristi Belcamino’s excellent new crime-thriller
One-Eyed Jack as soon as possible to find out – you’ll be up all night to finish it, as it’s absolutely unputdownable!
Love her characters! All of Kristi’s book are entertaining, full of twists and turns you don’t expect! Waiting for the next installment.
This was a very enjoyable read and the best from Kristi Belcamino.
An Awesome story. The plot was intriguing, capturing my attention from the start. It was a page-turner I didn’t want to put down. The characters were well-developed and believable. This was a great addition to the Queen of Spades Thrillers series. I highly recommend this story.
I received an ARC of this book from the author. These are my thoughts:
This latest of the Queen of Spades series has it all – action, bad people, good people, the dark web, twisted minds. Eva Santella receives a request for help with something bad about to happen in Miami. Of course, as she finds more about it, she HAS to help! This is about a dark web group, the kind that spews hate with members that egg each other on to do nasty things. Can she stop events already in motion? Overall, this story is pretty educational, delving into how these groups work, how they keep their anonymity, how they find each other of like (dastardly) interests and how they fuel a small flicker into a roaring blaze.
It’s interesting; I’ve read 2 books in the last few weeks that mention this ‘Incel’ group and at first thought it a fiction writer’s fabrication, but when the second book included the group, it was no longer a coincidence.During the time reading the books, I also heard news stories from major news networks that have reported on it. Never let it be said that Belcamino does not have a nose for current events!
One last thought: Enter Alex Miller. Hopefully, he will appear in Eva’s life again! (Sorry, you’ll have to read the book to find out more!)
Just as thrilling as the first book
Eva, now firmly reestablished in Italy, is drawn in by a plea for help from a young man in Florida. As the story progresses help is given, tracking down information becomes dangerous, and being a hero is not always a blessing. Kristi Belcamino’s One Eyed Jack is just as thrilling as the first book Queen of Spades and equally haunting. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Eva next.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
The leading lady is a real kickass. This is the second in the Queen of Spades series. The characters are well fleshed out and continue to develop nicely. The plot is good. It deals with a, hopefully, small segment of society. The book is more than just a thriller. It’s thought provoking. The bad guys behavior is explained, not excused. Lots of action. Highly recommended.
You will be captured by the first page! Complex interesting characters and an intense storyline. One page after the other brings excitement, mystery and danger! I love this series and you will too! A real thriller from beginning to end.Eva is the bomb!
The Queen of Spades is back in the USA. A member of the Incel nation is planning on a mass killing. Eva teams up with Conrad, One Eyed Jack, who is a member trying to find out the location killings are planned. This is another page turner from Kristi Belcamino.
I am newer to Belcamino’s work but have become a quick fan. Her books are fascinating and compelling and she does an amazing job of pulling a current issue/concern into a great read. Her heroines are powerful, intelligent, bold, and brave yet have compassion for those in need and a softer side that helps make them more relatable. In One-Eyed Jack, Eva is still mourning and dealing with the aftermath of losing her family but has found a new calling in helping those with no place to turn, as well as training women, like herself needing a purpose. Aside from her personal issues, she is determined to do what is right in helping the individuals who contacted her for assistance to help prevent a horrible event of epic proportion. This is a great story full of suspense, action, and mystery with a complex storyline that is gripping from the first page to the last. Eva is an amazing character with great resolve and fortitude and I am looking forward to her next story.
*I received an advanced copy from the author and I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
The books by this author just keep getting better and better, there is simply no other way to describe them. If badass, kickass and do the right thing are things you love to read about, this is certainly a book for you! Eva is the wonderful heroine in this captivating page-turner that will have your attention from the first page to the last. This book was hard to put down; the only way to describe this book is absolutely captivating! Thrills, suspense, excitement, danger, all await you in the second book of this series. That being said, you don’t have to read the first book to enjoy this one, but you will certainly want to after this (if you haven’t already)! I received an ARC of this wonderful book and am providing my honest review.
