Homicide detective Levi Abrams is barely holding his life together. He’s reeling from the fallout of a fatal shooting, and his relationship with his boyfriend is crumbling. The last thing he’s prepared for is a serial killer stalking the streets of Las Vegas. Or how he keeps getting thrown into the path of annoyingly charming bounty hunter Dominic Russo.
Dominic likes his life free of complications. That means no tangling with cops—especially prickly, uptight detectives. But when he stumbles across one of the Seven of Spades’s horrifying crime scenes, he can’t let go, despite Levi’s warnings to stay away.
The Seven of Spades is ruthless and always two moves ahead. Worst of all, they’ve taken a dangerously personal interest in Levi and Dominic. Forced to trust each other, the two men race to discover the killer’s identity, revealing hidden truths along the way and sparking a bond neither man expected. But that may not be enough to protect them.
This killer likes to play games, and the deck is not stacked in Levi and Dominic’s favor.
Kill Game is a murder mystery with a serial killer and a slow burning romance. The investigation, mystery and action takes a front seat and the slow burning romance is on the back seat, but it's oh so stunning. There's chemistry between the love interests and a promise for more romance in the sequels, which I cannot wait for!
Homicide Detective Levi Abrams is struggling because he was involved in on duty shooting recently and now he has to face a murder mystery, which turns out to be a work of a serial killer. Bounty hunter by day and bartender by night, Dominic Russo gets drawn into the investigation and tangled up with the mystery and the Detective. Levi and Dominic are absolutely great characters on their own right, and their banter and cooperation is fantastic to read. I especially loved Dominic, who's such fantastic, intriguing, and basically a big teddy bear. And Dominic takes his coffee just like I do: milk, sugar and every flavoured syrup he can get! It is a nice contrast between the main characters, as Levi enjoys his coffee as black as darkest soul with extra espresso. It is also wonderful that Dominic and Levi had their own interests and plenty of scenes where they weren't together. A wholesome story, I'd say, as there's work, family and friends involved.
There's plenty of action, complex mystery, slow burning romance, and absolutely great and easy to identify with main characters. I fell for Kill Game, and I can't wait for the sequel.
I highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in murder mystery, crime solving, and slow burn romance!
