Spotlight & Giveaway! - A Chip and a Chair (Seven of Spades #5) by Cordelia Kingsbridge


Thanks for checking out the blog tour for A Chip and a Chair, the conclusion to the Seven of Spades series!


Just as the Seven of Spades investigation is closing in, an act of terror devastates Las Vegas. In order to save the city they love, Levi and Dominic may need the help of the very killer they’ve been hunting…

About A Chip and a Chair
It's time to lay all the cards on the table.
Detective Levi Abrams and PI Dominic Russo are reunited and more committed to each other than ever, but they can’t truly move forward with their lives until the serial killer who’s been tormenting them is behind bars. When a secret burial site is discovered in the desert with the remains of the Seven of Spades’s earliest victims, that goal finally seems within reach.
But just as the net is tightening, the neo-Nazi militia Utopia launches their master plan with a devastating act of terror that changes the landscape of Las Vegas forever. As Levi and Dominic scramble to prevent the city’s destruction, they’re opposed by treacherous forces that propel them toward catastrophe. In the end, Levi’s fate may rest in the hands of the very killer he’s been hunting.
The race to save Sin City is on, and these players are going for broke. No matter how hopeless things seem, as long as they’re together and they’ve got a chip to play and a chair to sit in, they’re still in the game.



About the Seven of Spades Series
Las Vegas has never seen a serial killer like the Seven of Spades.
The self-styled vigilante is on a mission to cut down the wicked and treacherous, and Sin City has no shortage of targets for their bloody wrath. What happens in Vegas . . . ends with the Seven of Spades’s calling card on a grisly corpse.
Standing against the killer are Levi Abrams, a dedicated homicide detective locked in a constant struggle to restrain his own dark side, and bounty hunter Dominic Russo, a charming rogue with a heavy secret weighing on his shoulders.
The hunt for the Seven of Spades sends Levi and Dominic on a collision course, igniting a passionate relationship forged in conflict and sealed with blood. Together they’re stronger than the sum of their parts, but a wily, elusive serial killer isn’t the only threat that will strain their bond to the breaking point.
Ante up, because the Seven of Spades is all in. Are you?

I will not spoil this book for anyone in my review. I won't be saying much about the story, but maybe more how I felt about it.

This wasn't my favorite one. In fact, I thought parts were WAY over the top. There was a few times I lost interest in it and I floated away. There was a few times I yelled that I knew what was happening. I never did that in any of the other books, it was always a complete mystery. I'm not even sure how I feel about the ending. It didn't necessarily have a solid closure. Could that be so these characters can split off into another series?
Only Cordelia knows. Maybe we should bust a SoS on her to get all the secrets?

That being said, I absolutely a-freaking-dore Levi and Dominic and their band of misfits. Especially Rebel, because she's the baddest bitch there is. Ever. While Levi may not be able to trust everyone, there a select few he can, and they are ride or die. I'm not sure what the future exactly holds for these two, but as I said above, I wouldn't mind a different set of stories, maybe one's less murder-y for them?

Random thoughts:
 Minocqua, WI, and really anywhere up north, are gorgeous and you should definitely check that out ^_^


What happened to that f*cking banana bread? It's just sitting in Levi's drawer! }:‑)
