Elizabeth's Review


3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time


Review Copy Provided by Author


Before I get into my review.... let me say that I really do not understand why Even Money and Double Down were published as a duet. Neither book is very long and Double Down begins at basically what would be the halfway point of the overall story.

I should also note that this review is more for the over all tale than just the portion that is Double Down as this book does not stand in its own and I truly believe both portions would have been stronger had they been published as one work.

I enjoyed the complicated layers to this story and the intrigue element. I found myself likening Bell, Dario, and the secondary cast even as I wished for more in terms of emotional growth and a deeper dive into who they were as people.

This is well written and most of my issues/concerns with this duet probably fall under personal preference, so I don’t dive too deep into them. The Even Money/Double Down set is definitely entertaining and overall is worth reading. As I read an advanced copy, I struggle with recommending the books depending on the price point of the published editions. Both books really need to be read for either to work well, so please take that into consideration. I will say that the story here left me wanting more. Not only would I like to know where Bell and Dario finally end up, I would like to know more about several of the secondary characters.
