Status Updates From Finlay Donovan Rolls the Di...

Wow. That was a nail bitting scene. The books here always have a crazy action sequence like the stairwell scene! Damn. I could visualize the door and Nick panting. Pacing. It doesn’t let up. Cam has a great commentary as well and did his job way too well. Nick & Garrett jumped to the gun bc I didn’t realize Finlay & Vero made it out unscathed & unseen. This moment was both exhilarating & head scratching!

The dialogue, action, the gambling, the way Vero shows that Finlay has an effortless resourcefulness that is so hidden & perfect for poker. Vero is great at explaining & providing her skills to enhance their progress. The pacing is super well done, emotion, scene setting and much more.

Wow. That’s a crazy segment. This story is really leaning into the Las Vegas scene without having to by being Atlantic City. The way that the plot twists are twisting. The comedy, the comedic horror or realization. Truly Pokey (Frank) was really helpful & his defensive skills to help against Charlie was so great bc I was worried about it like Finn was. The payoff of getting away from trouble was fascinating.

The whole ARC moment was truly why I love this book as a reader.

The way that Finlay signed Trina’s book to Ike is so lol. I find the audiobook narrator really accentuate the nuance & especially with the jokes like being squashed. The whole phone call scene with Sylvia is fascinating. The book title shines here especially as Finlay’s luck, her way of working through this maze of a book is by luck & she is at the whim of a myriad of reasons. The plot twists are interesting.
