About this listen

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 highly enjoyed this story about a tarot reader with a quirky affinity for luck that creates chaos and intrigue around her. The worldbuilding is solid and expansive with an Earth that has recovered from societal and environmental crisis and a solar system that has been colonized and terraformed.
The romance was also scorching hot and I'm definitely picking up the sequels.

Enjoyable sci-fi fantasy.
