She never even once thought that Serrano was out to get her that Reyes somehow just so coincidentally shows up in two backwater towns hundreds of miles apart. For someone who was on the run, this seemed improbable and quite stupid. There were other things that niggled such as Kyra so easily accepting Reyes as a partner. She’s his lodestone, and, I imagine serves as his conscience in the future. Later in the story, we are shown a real streak of ruthlessness. There is some sort of perverseness in Reyes character that he would have sex with someone he planned to kill. And for all Kyra’s “wickedness” as Rey would put it affectionately, she still reads fairly innocent.Īdmittedly, Reyes is pretty heartless. Whether that’s a realistic view of things or not, it’s how the story is played. Their justifications somehow make them all good. Like many cons or morally ambiguous characters, they are good people to the core. Later they take a bad drunk/drug dealer on the side for a little con.
They both don’t like drug dealers and at one point burn down a meth lab. Kyra only screws over bad people and Reyes usually only kills bad men. Reyes realizes later he’s been lied to by Foster by I wondered how often he has been lied to. He decides if you are worthy of taking out based on the information provided and he takes you out. Reyes is set up, curiously, as a one man judgment squad. Foster, the guy who hired Reyes, didn’t have a long history with Reyes and so it seemed a little farfetched that Reyes would just accept the “report” given to him, as if that was sufficient to whitewash his kill. A woman that kills her father needs killing herself in Reyes’ mind.
He agrees to take down Kyra because she allegedly killed her father. He is meticulous about who he kills and for whom he kills. Reyes is one of the best but he’s a hitman with scruples. Serrano has his security guy hire a hitman to retrieve the money and kill Kyra, in that order. She does this by learning what Serrano likes and transforms herself into the perfect woman, luring him in, and then ultimately humiliating him by gambling away his engagement ring, taking his money, and publicly admitting she just dated him for the money. Kyra runs a long con on Serrano, not just to take his money, but to humiliate him. Kyra is a grifter, working with her father, until he is beaten and left for dead by a casino owner named Serrano. I had enjoyed Grimspace and heard that this book was fresh for the romance genre and it is. In reviewing my emails (because my memory, as you know, is terribly spotty), I see I received the book for review from you.
