Another great box set. The storyline of Eva is amazing and leaves you waiting for the next book. The author has a keen eye for the details, but doesn’t overwhelm you with too much description. Love reading Kristi Belcamino’s other series too.
Queen of Spades:
Eva is such a tough woman. Through her own heartache she powers on, seeking vengeance after a devastating loss. She discovers that her life in America all these years hasn’t actually kept her hidden, and it is people from her past who are seeking their own vengeance.
This was a great read. You really feel for her, and totally understand the actions she takes. Even with revenge on her mind, she still has a good heart and is willing to do what she can to help the people she deems worthy.
One-Eyed Jack:
A member of an online group has planned something huge that will be truly devastating. They have strong views and will go to extremes to prove a point. Eva is contacted as a last resort to help control and prevent the catastrophe from occurring.
Behind closed doors, Eva still struggles with her loss, but in the presence of others she is strong and determined to do what’s right.
Characters in this book (and series!) are all complex, each with their own insecurities and flaws, yet most think with their hearts before their heads, putting the well-being of others ahead of themselves.
Another great read by Kristi Belcamino! Highly recommend!
The Suicide King:
This new Queen of Spades book runs alongside one of the earlier Gia books. This shows what was happening on Eva’s side of the story, as she discovers a member of her army is missing and in danger, and that her niece, Gia, is in town and in trouble herself. Eva doesn’t know Gia, but is compelled to help her, even knowing that (like Gia) she winds up losing everyone she loves.
This was another great read, allowing us to see more of Eva’s life and what motivates her. She’s a strong woman who will help those in need, no matter what.
The Ace of Clubs:
Following straight on from The Suicide King, Eva heads to Cabo to help find a missing American girl after receiving a mother’s desperate plea. Unfortunately missing girls aren’t a rare occurrence here, and Eva has her work cut out for her trying to find this particular girl. The city is full of people with something to hide, and most are not willing to tell Eva the truth about what they know.
It is so great to see Eva’s vulnerable side throughout these books, and not just her tough side. She doesn’t let her personal demons slow her down though, she just puts those thoughts on hold while she helps others.
This series just keeps getting better and better! Kristi writes these awesome female lead characters, but they aren’t perfect, which just makes them that much more likeable. Loved this book and can’t wait for the next one!
Wow!! I flew through this box set. Fast moving and full of action, Eva Santella (a.k.a. the Queen of Spades), had to flee from the Mafia in Italy after they put a contract on her life. She was the first female Mafia boss and when they chose to expand their business into sex trafficking against her wishes, she declared war on them. She stays beneath the radar for years and settles down to an amazing life with her husband and children. But they find her and slaughter her family. The stories follow her from exacting justice for their murders into her new mission in life – helping others. Each book chronicles her efforts to right the wrongs and injustices inflicted on the people who ask for her help.
Kristi writes in a concise way that keeps her stories moving. You won’t find wasted words that only serve to fill pages unnecessarily and confuse the reader. Absolutely one of my go to writers.
