About this listen

SKIN IN THE GAME

At Shadows Casino, this isn’t just a phrase, it’s a grim reality. Far from prying eyes is a world of decadent pleasure, and unimaginable pain, where only the desperate or the rich dare to tread.

Cee is the leader of the sinister establishment, but that hasn’t always been her story. Long before she'd ever heard of a parlay or letting it ride, Cee was just a little girl with a daddy who liked to gamble. And when her daddy brought her into Shadows, he made a bet that changed both of their lives forever.

Years later, Cee is thrust back into the murky depths of her childhood memories, thanks to the story of a new bettor: a mysterious man whose situation is eerily similar to her past.

Will the bettor’s tale of desperation crack the façade she's erected? Or will Cee have him ground to a bloody pulp?

Always bet on black

Having now completed both The Red Version and The Black version, I am in love with this twisted world that Volpe and Beauregard have crafted. Volpes writing and the narration by Sierra Kline make The Black Widow a vvcharacter that you both revile and still hope to win. Both endings are quite grim in their ways, though one seems to be canonical due to its connection to an ending in the Red Version. I would highly recommend both books.
