About this listen

Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets...and secrets hide in every shadow

Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school - and her reputation - behind to follow her mother's trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted.

Frightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected - he's a street lord and con man. Levi is also only one payment away from cleaning up a rapidly unraveling investment scam, so he doesn't have time to investigate a woman leading a dangerous double life. Enne's offer of compensation, however, could be the solution to all his problems. Their search for clues leads them through glamorous casinos and illicit cabarets and into the clutches of a ruthless Mafia donna. As Enne unearths an impossible secret about her past, Levi's enemies catch up to them, ensnaring him in a vicious execution game where the players always lose. To save him, Enne will need to surrender herself to the city...and she'll need to play.

I'm not one for YA fiction but I found this well developed and complex. Beautiful world building and fresh magic system. The narrator does a decent job of it and I never got distracted by the voice.

Atmospheric and Memorable

This book is honestly my favorite of 2018 and 100% in my all time fav list. Amazing characters and interesting plot.

With LGBT and POC rep, this book is perfect for people who are bored of straight white characters in fantasy.

Amazing!

Good, interesting plot-line. I’m more of a regular book person than audio book but this story made sure I came back to find out what would happen next. Also the ladies voice wasn’t annoying to listen to like I sometimes find, which can make the book less enjoyable.

Loved it!

Just finished the trilogy and can’t put into words how impressed I am but the unique story and world building.

Must listen

Very confusing book and no proper ending. The card games and other details were too intricate and there was very little investigation. Too “woke” for my liking.

A load of nonsense

The story was nothing new, the world wasn’t particularly interesting and any potential it did have doesn’t feel like it was realised. The characters were more irritating than charming. Overall felt like a waste of time.

No charm
