Rather than being a deal-breaker, however, I firmly believe that the series needed the darkness, and I’m hoping that the final two stories will guide both Dominic and Levi back to an eventual happy ending. When things start to go wrong, they go very, very wrong, and traversing the worst of it was admittedly more difficult than I thought it would be. I just spent most of the story cringing over the actions of one of the main characters, the whole situation turning into a downward spiral which he never recovered from. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, because I did. While both of the previous novels in the Seven of Spades series had tough moments, Cash Plays was rough all the way through. But, if living in Vegas has taught them both anything, it’s that more than fortunes can change in an instant, and sometimes not even love is enough in the end. In stark contrast, however, his relationship with his newly-licensed PI boyfriend, Dominic Russo, is better than ever. For Detective Levi Abrams, the accompanying frustrating days and nightmare-filled evenings are definitely taking their toll. It’s been three months since the serial killer known as the “Seven of Spades” resurfaced, and the Las Vegas police aren’t any closer to catching them than they were in the beginning.
