a fast-paced thriller that kept my attention. it was well written and was entertaining but not much else stood out to me.

Thank you so much for the arc. I loved the summary and had high hopes for this book but it feel short. The beginning was very hard to get into, a slow start. I felt that all of the conversations felt very forced and not normal. I also felt that the ikea breastfeeding chapter was super unnecessary. Overall it just wasn’t for me.

Very original and engaging plot. The first half of the book really sucks you in and makes you want to know more.

The premise sounded really clever so I was excited to see what this book had to offer. For the most part, this book delivers as promised in that there are multiple storylines that all converge and work pretty well together. There are a few chapters that I felt could have been removed with no damage to the overall story (ex. the IKEA chapter - it seemed more like this was something the author had actually witnessed and was looking for a way to write it into one of his books, it does nothing for character or plot development and the humor of it falls pretty flat). Grant has got to be the luckiest person ever - despite Lucas's best attempts at setting him up for an accidental death he just keeps coming out of it okay. And considering he spends about half the book traumatized by the events from the break-in I was a little thrown by how quickly he snaps out of it and goes buy himself a new gun. My biggest complaint about the book is that by the end it just feels too unresolved. A good portion of Tracy's storyline is about helping with the investigation at her mother's casino but we never get to learn who was behind it all and why they were framing her mother. Also, does Tracy get to solve the case involving the house flipping scheme or does that all go away now that the main players in it are all dead? Does Grant get to keep all the money? And when exactly did Lucas realize where that money was hidden? The big double-cross reveal at the end was a nice twist, but considering Lucas had been trying to kill Grant (for reasons I still don't fully understand) it was a little disappointing that he got away with everything. I hate a book that leaves the reader with so much unfinished business.

How hard can it be to kill a real estate agent? Contract killer Lucas Green is about to find out. Small time real estate agent Grant Anderson is scheduled to get his ticket punched. Some things don’t go as planned though and an inquisitive cop can feel something is out of whack. Lucas needs to pull the stops out to make Grant’s demise look like a fluke. Grant needs to get lucky to keep breathing and Tracy Cook, the intrepid cop, needs a result to keep her boss happy.

This is Vegas after all and there’s no knowing which way the cards will fall.

I read this book through NetGalley. My thanks to the author and the publisher for making this book available.

This uses the thriller elements in a way that I was hoping for from the description. I thought it was realistic and had that feel that I want in this type of book. It left me wanting to read more in this universe and that I had a great time reading this. Kyle K. Wolfson writes a strong story with interesting characters.
