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.

"A very fun read,it also stands out, so that's a plus!"

"There were so many things about this book that I really enjoyed. First, the main character, Enne was awesome. She was raised a proper lady, she went looking for her mother in the City of Sin, and emerged as a tough young woman who would not take anybody’s crap. Second, I love the diversity in this book. I felt the author incorporated many aspects into her book you don’t typically see in YA fantasy books. And finally, I thought the world building was great. This book is a little like Six of Crows in the sense that it takes place in a city filled with gangs and other dangerous people."

"This book didn’t even meet the “ok” standard. It wasn’t anything special, it made it to my dnf pile— I just couldn’t finish it with how much it bored me. It pulled the cliché “She wasn’t actually a simple girl” or smth like that. The way the author wrote the characters immediately was the first red flag yet I was willing to overlook that and that was my mistake. Another thing was the fact that she kept on mentioning how the mc was “small” or “tiny” to the point where it got repetitive. I feel like it just tried too hard to be like six of crows— to the point where this book feels like a rip off of it just with different characters and slightly different plot."

"I loved Ace of Shades!! The setting, characters, and plot were all amazing. SETTING I loved how it was set in the City of Sin. There was a dangerous element to the location and when it spoke of all the crime families and whatnot, I found it really interesting to follow. It was pretty cool."

"It wasn’t too bad. I was just a bit disappointed with the ending. It was still somewhat decent with the chemistry between the two main characters."
