Another great mystery!
Another good book
This book is like the prequel for Stone Cold. It had twists and turns and I found myself holding my breath Because Eva was playing so close to fire! I love how some of her past life was revealed and the way it affects her now. Great read.
Red Robin
A dynamic story. Eva works her mission even though she is wanted in the United State and the Mafiaso has put a target on her back. All the wonderful characters in Kristi Belcamino stories are well developed. I recommend the Queen of Spades series.
The Queen of Thrillers Gives us Another Ace of a Story
Eva is developing into quite a person and Kristi takes on yet another scourge. Kristi leads the reader through another suspenseful and emotional journey. In this latest book in the Queen of Spades saga Eva continues to work through her grief of the loss of her family. One way to do this is to eliminate the type of people who cause such grief. This time she takes on the forced sex trade. One of the most vicious and cruel acts that humans inflict upon another member of our own species.
I really enjoy reading how Kristi brings together current issues and great situations while also allowing us to become a part of stories. The reader also feels a sense of satisfaction when the book ends and Eva has been able to save another life. I highly recommend this book and look forward to another Eva story.
Another great story in the Queen of Spades series; Kristi has done it again! This one is another suspenseful, action-packed journey for Eva that will keep you engaged from the beginning and keep you flipping pages until you are done. This story goes beyond a mission for Eva as she has to also deal with the bittersweet memories from her past while searching for a missing girl. She has to probe into the darker side of town as secrets, lies, shady deals, corruption, trafficking, and the cartel throws dangerous roadblocks in her way. With a few twists and surprises thrown in, Eva’s vulnerabilities are exposed as she risks it all to find and bring the missing girl home. There is lots of suspense, danger, high emotions and action to enjoy in this thrilling addition.
*I received an arc from the author and I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
I have yet to be disappointed
Eva, our international woman of assistance and assassination, goes to Mexico to help a mother find her missing daughter while still dealing with the death of one of her own girls. As the story progresses memories from the past threaten to pull her under, the web is more tangled than first believed, and an ace up her own sleeve could help her prevail. Kristi Belcamino’s The Ace of Clubs delves into the seedy underbelly of Mexican Cartels and continues to expand Eva’s reputation both good and bad. Ms. Belcamino has a gift for allowing her characters to fight both emotional and physical battles. I have yet to be disappointed by any of her books and will have to wait patiently (maybe) for her next one. Reader discretion advised due to dark subject matter and/or possible triggers.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Without giving anything away and absolutely no spoilers, here’s what you need to know. Thrills, intrigue, corruption, lies and just plain great writing captivate you from the first word to the last. Belcamino does an amazing job keeping action new, fresh and fast-paced, in this latest installment staring the kickass heroine, Eva. If you haven’t read the other books in this series, it’s okay, you can still pick up this story easily, but you will certainly want to go back to read the others. There are recurring characters that you will certainly want to get to know, so, stop here, one-click this book and don’t look back! You won’t be sorry. I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I was lucky enough to have gotten a ARC copy of this book from the author. I am volunteering to leave this review. This is the 100th book that I have read this year and it was in the top 5. Plenty of action and suspense.
Eva goes to Mexico to help a mother find her missing daughter. A cartel head is taking young girls and using them for sex and trafficking. Eva, The Queen of Spades, is out to find justice for these girls. This is another page turning thriller that will not disappoint.
THE ACE OF CLUBS…….Kristi Belcamino
One is drawn to the strength and courage she shows, twenty three days she has had a meal, then she exercises. A mantra of counting, to occupy her thoughts, her soul was hers, and always would be, that he could not take.
Eve landing in Cabo San Lucas, a meeting with the mother, her daughter Hayden has been missing for two weeks, was Eve’s mission. Telling the mother to get her act together and to fight for her daughter.
The story is compelling, your emotions are high, the captured girl hasn’t spread her wings, to life yet. The story draws us, as reader we too are fighting for all three of them. The beautiful thoughts of Eve’s when nightmares come, but so are the last memories of her family. This is why she does this. Will it be a victory, or a sadness. Another story that will leave an impression on you.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
