A book filled with Ace characters attempting a heist in Vegas? Count me it! I thought the book moved a little slow in the beginning, but the book was like a moving train and once it picked up speed it got good. While I did think the first half was a little slow moving, I really liked the second half of the book! I think the book was lacking a little bit on the heist portion considering that was what it was marketed as, it was more spying than heisting. However, I loved the ace representation and how everything wrapped itself up. I didn’t mind that the book didn’t end entirely how the main character, Jack, wanted it to, but I personally like the ending that way. I enjoyed all the main characters and thought they were all interesting and added to the plot.
