Publisher's summary

It takes a queen to defeat a queen.

High school senior Aggie is ready to concentrate on important things like college essays, science projects, and her secret older boyfriend. There’s one major distraction, however: she’s a demigoddess with the power to control luck. Her mom is one, too—the deadly Queen of Spades. When Aggie discovers how wicked her mother has become, she knows she has to win her back from the evil forces controlling her before it’s too late.

Aggie is shocked when she’s chosen to be the next queen of her suit. Accepting the role will give her the strength to defeat her mom and save her. But in order to become queen, Aggie must first face a deadly trial, a heist to steal a dangerous treasure from the most powerful luck god of them all.

Mother of Spades is book 2 of The Luck Gods Series, is a YA contemporary fantasy/urban fantasy novel featuring royal intrigue, slow-burn romance, and a mind-bending original magic system based on the four card suits: diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades.

Action packed and entertaining

I enjoyed Girl of Hearts, so I was excited to listen to this one. Gates jumps us right back into the world she built in the first book and the stakes become clear pretty quickly. The main character is sometimes lacking the dynamism you might feel she would have gained from her experiences in the first book, but her relationship with her mom is mostly believable. I find the Morbus plot.line the most interesting, it has potential to go to some very creepy places. The tension builds steadily throughout the book, so I was engaged in the story the entire time. And the narration is superb, I always felt that I was immersed in the book by the narrator's performance. I look forward to the next one.
