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, 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.

This is a book that was evidently quite poorly planned, and hurriedly put together on a tight deadline. This book wasted valuable time **just** reaching for resolution on side-plots, only to leave them unfinished and open new ones. Perhaps this was done purposefully to emphasise what life is like in The City of Sin, but I definitely think that it ended abruptly with too many questions for the reader to speculate. As much as I love open-endings, this one was bad. A lot of work was evidently put into the world-building; I definitely felt like I was in the City. But the plots and side-plots needed a lot more tidying up (Chez? Mansy? The other Irons?). It’s also very striking how there were key characters introduced who clearly drove the plot but very little is revealed about them (Vianca Augustine?), and for when they reappear it’s almost sloppy (N’s second assignment). This book had a lot of potential that I was patiently waiting for it to reach - right until the end. It never did.
