Casino Infernale by Simon R. Green
5.0
Simon R. Green is a prolific writer and the grind of turning out numerous novels can sometimes take away from the quality of the writing. That said, Casino Infernale is top notch. Number 7 in the Secret Histories series, it continues to follow the adventures of Eddie Drood and his wild witch girlfriend, Molly Metcalf.
Without giving too much away, Eddie & Molly are tasked to "break the bank" of the Shadow Bank, a nefarious institution secretly financing the dark side of life and its players. In order to do so, they must compete against the major players in a series of games at Casino Infernale.
The casino scenes and games are flat-out fun. Roulette takes on a new meaning, games are literally life and death and the protagonists are constantly confronted by traps and near-death experiences. Eddie Drood is also hampered by a new, devastating limitation of his powers.
This book is a page-turning, fun read. I would highly recommend it!
