GENRE:
PARANORMAL ROMANCE
17-year-old Calise Thomas
grieves her mother's death. As she trains with Chris and his friends
at a cabin in the woods, she realizes why they live in the forest -
to hide their identities and profession. With each of them wearing a
spade tattoo, she tries to investigate the purpose behind the
mysterious mark. At the same time, her attraction for Chris heats up
and things get sidetracked when she feels like she's being watched.
Something unseen and heavy is in their midst, but no one acknowledges
the foul, unsettling presence that grips the air. Instead, they take
on their secret profession, leaving Calise to figure out who she is
and what she's capable of.
MY
RATING: 4 STARS
I
really enjoyed Spades by Kristy Evans. I think the characters were
well thought out and executed rather well. The story was interesting
and kept me reading. The only beef I had with this book was the
cliffhanger. I was so into this story and then it just abruptly
ended. The good news is the second book is available so you can
easily purchase it and keep reading.
I
think Chris's character was very mysterious and interesting. There
were more questions raised with his character instead of answered in
this book. At this point, there isn't much romance going on between
he and Calise. Whether there even will be isn't certain. I guess I
will have to move on to the second book to find out...and I
desperately NEED to know!
I
like the main character, Calise. Her mother has died, and her father
has moved on with a new woman—a woman Calise can't stand. Calise
feels as all hope has been lost and just desperately wants to end it
all and be with her mother again. Her attempt at suicide failed when
Chris found and saved her. He brings her into his super secret world,
now it's up to Calise to find the courage and strength to belong.
Chris's
friends and co-workers are Tre, Kevin, and Blue. Tre is a fun
character, Kevin is kind of indifferent at this point, and Blue is a
huffy mean girl. Their personalities are all different therefore they
all work really well together in this story.
Overall,
I really liked Spades and have already purchased the second book. I
absolutely recommend this story if you are a fan of paranormal
romance. Right now, Spades book 1 is free on Amazon. Follow the link
