This book is about Natalie, a young woman who is a Magician.  She is having money troubles and she might be in even bigger trouble after she injured a guy during one of her routines.  She decides that she is going to interview a Card Shark and tag along with him to figure out how him and her are different in their card tricks.  She ends up getting involved with another card shark and the story goes from there.  I listened to the book and Julia Whelan narrates it and she always does a stellar job, so it was a really good listen.  I thought that the book was interesting and it kept my attention.  There were some surprises that I wasn't expecting in the book.  For a lot of the book I was really wishing that I could see the card moves that they were talking about, although as a lay person I would've probably missed the trick anyway, haha.
