I really enjoyed this book, it's a short one filled with plenty of action with a side of giggles to be had and with a few spicy scenes *melts* Looking forward to reading the next one.

Loved this book!
A great gang related storyline/romance/twist.
Blair turns 18 and suddenly everything changes and she has no clue why. All her life it was her and her dad, lawyer John, in a city run by two gangs - one side is the Black Spades, and the other is The Hunters. Naturally he warns her off both.
But on her 18th birthday suddenly the trio, Reed, Grayson and Carlton are very interested in her.
And they're not the only ones.
Her car explodes. Someone tries to kidnap her. She's ran off the road while with the Spades... And her dad goes missing.
However, Blair is getting closer to both Grayson and Reed and the electricity between both pairs bounces off the pages. However, Carlton is frosty and constantly off with her.
The cliffhanger is a great one and I love the way the story is unfolding! Blair is slowly finding more confidence in herself and it seems to be a long time coming.....

It started with a bang and what a bang it was! This is an engrossing read that had me completely captivated the entire time, I could.not put this book down. The ending left me reeling and left me wanting more. It was easy to become invested in Blair's story. There is an amazing mix of intrigue, mystery, danger, and heat. I am very excited for this next book, and get some of my pressing questions answered.

I LOVE gang romances! They're usually pretty crime filled and gritty and King of Spades is no different. I've had this one sitting on my kindle for a week or so, and I could not put it down today!
Blair is the daughter of a prosecutor and being that the town is divided by two gangs, it makes sense that she would be targeted because of her father. I love Blair! She may be at war with herself at times, but she has Reed, Grayson and sometimes Colton to help her. She may be stepping into her role as queen, but she still gets scared, and it shows how real people can be in these situations.
This book may be full of gang action, but it's also

Excited to see where this goes
I wasn't so sure about this book getting started as I'm not usually one to enjoy high school romance books but so little of the story actually centered around their ages it was easy to forget. I'm pretty impressed by this new author and can't wait to find out the ending of this series! Kept me on my toes with a good storyline and some delicious spice!
