Rather than the conflict between the couple, and the conflict within the department and Levi’s coworkers, and the search for the killer, this installment focused more on the terrorist acts and the MCs efforts to stop them from destroying Las Vegas. Why? Because in this book, the MCs are not only still trying to find and stop the Seven of Spades, they’re tied up in trying to stop Utopia, a Neo-Nazi militia group-terrorists who plan to knock “Sin City” to the ground. That being said, this finale was outstanding, but it was not my favorite of the series. ![]() Adding in the serial killer, the Seven of Spades, just made my addiction to this series that much stronger.
