Synopsis

The first in a steamy science fiction adventure series featuring a Brazilian tarot card reader and a Russian crime lord.

Year 2950. Humanity has survived devastating climate shifts and four world wars, coming out stronger and smarter than ever. Advanced technology is available to all, and enhancements to appearance, intelligence, and physical ability are commonplace.

In this future, Felicia Sevigny has built her fame reading the futures of others.

Alexei Petriv, the most dangerous man in the TriSystem, will trust only Felicia to read his cards. But the future she sees is darker than either of them could ever have imagined. A future that pits them against an all-knowing government, almost superhuman criminals, and something from Felicia's past that she could never have predicted, but that could be the key to saving -- or destroying -- them all.

I was in a bit of a reading slump before I picked this book up but now I'm cured :) This is a romance heavy sci-fi. It's a fun and easy read but it still has enough drama and depth to keep your interest. The sci-fi aspect was done in a very refreshing way. I don't think I've seen a story like this b......more

Goodreads review by Jane on September 25, 2019

There was a lot to like here - the year is 2950, thanks to the melting of the polar caps and numerous natural disasters only a few high altitude cities are left populated on Earth, along with Mars and Venus. One Gov rule, controlling the numbers of children born, given lack of space. But for all the......more
