Jack Shannon has it all, until the day his mother is arrested. Summoned back to Las Vegas and his family hotel, Jack has limited time to clear his mother’s name. Luckily, he has suspicions about who would want to see his mother behind bars and the hotel in someone else’s hands. To pull off a heist to obtain proof, he’ll need all of his best friends to join him. As the stakes rise, how far must Jack go for his family and the hotel? Which is more important to him?
Aces Wild was a fun adventure! My favorite part was the asexual representation and found family. It took me some time to warm up to Jack, but as the heist began to take shape he became more likable. Remy was one of my favorite characters, I really enjoyed their positive attitude and loyalty to their friends. There were a couple plot holes that didn’t quite make sense, but I still enjoyed the story. If you can suspend your disbelief and enjoy heists, found family, and ace rep then you should check out Aces Wild!
