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?

Very gag-inducing (you've been warned)

If you thought Through The Eyes of Desperation: The Red Version tested your gag reflex, just wait until you read this version. The Black Version is so much worse. Or better? Depends what you're into, I guess. Of the two, I preferred this one,although both are quite good. I think I may have preferred this one because I found the characters a bit more sympathetic.

Great companion novel!

Red this after reading The Red Version by Aron Beauregard. This book takes place at the same time from a different POV. Loved every minute!

Phenomenal!

This was a great edition to match with the first edition! The narrators voice matched perfectly with the story!

Basically just gore porn

This book is just no all the way around. It’s definitely more just detailed gore porn on disabled individuals and minors. The plot and character development is extremely disappointing and lacking.
