2.5 stars. This was painful... Dominic's new job as a PI leads him back into his gambling addiction, while Levi is struggling with his out-of-control rage and anger issues. They're both slowly falling apart, and Dominic's desperate lies to hide his relapse to avoid Levi's disappointment drives them further away. Things are a mess.
I don't really know what to think of this book: mystery was fine, but the Seven of Spades subplot drives me crazy. I spoiled myself since book 1 on the culprit and it doesn't feel believable to me. I see the hints but SoS just seems so... omnipotent it's just hard to believe.
I don't FEEL like i even enjoy the book while I read it, but damn it does draw feellings out of me. I have complicated feelings for Levi's character. Sometimes I like him, and sometimes I really don't. I get that he is a flawed character but he can be so frustrating to me... but it's true the man has a lot of shit in his life he has to deal with. I love Dominic, he's my favourite character and seeing him sink back into his addiction felt like a personal attack. HOW DARE YOU HURT MY CUTE CUDDLY GIANT? Need to read the next volume to see him being OK and I am curious to how Levi and Dom's relationship will be mended. I might have weird feelings about the book, but I like them together and I need them happy.
The side cast is still as cool, love Martine, REBEL, Leila (hot badass PROSECUTOR lady) and the flirty lawyer, Sawyer. I do wish the series gave me side couples because 1. i love side couples and 2. i need a distraction for the sheer mess everyone is, lmfao
EDIT: you know what? Nevermind I do NOT like Levi, his reaction to Dominic’s relapse is fucked up and lowkey confirmed Dominic’s fears and I hate it
EDIT 2: I think I am just angry, at everyone. Lmfao
