See all formats and editions
Hit woman and thief Reed Gable works for the highest bidder, no matter where the job takes her. An orphan of circumstance, Reed knows the streets of Las Vegas better than anyone. Growing up rough has gotten her to the top of her profession, and she plans to stay there.

Accountant Brinley Myers, a recent hire at the Moroccan Casino, discovers a money laundering operation orchestrated by the New York mob and suddenly her life and the people in it become collateral damage.

Reed has Brinley in her sights and is ready to close the contract when she sees Brinley’s son in the car with her. Even hard-hearted Reed can’t kill a mother in front of her child. Before Reed can come up with a plan to finish the job, she’s double-crossed. It’ll take all her street smarts to keep herself, and her surprisingly beautiful mark, alive.

I am so excited to be starting what I hope will be a new series by Ali Vali! I'm a big fan of Ali Vali's work and buy every book she has written! Some I love more than others and I can see this book will be on the lists of those I love! The story was action packed with lots of twists and turns mixed with some romance. I loved that Reed was not perfect and we got to see her flaws. She has done some things she is not proud of and is trying to now do the right thing. I look forward to learning more about her backstory. I like Reed and Brinley as a couple. Brinley brings out to caring side of Reed. The pace for them to get together made sense based on what they were both dealing with. I really loved the "cameo" appearance of some of my favorite characters in the Devil/Cain Casey series. I see a nice partnership forming with Remi ( and I could also see Reed in the next Casey book :-) ). This is a great start to what I hope will be a new series and I look forward to continuing this Journey with Reed and Brinley!

if the Cain Series is the gold standard, these stand-alone stories are the bronze companions well worth reading because the Cain-verse gets richer and, we are reminded of the delicious pairings we have devoured in previous books!

i have one tiny complaint. I had trouble following the dialog direction. i would welcome better "who's talking" now, clues.

all things considered, it was a fast, enjoyable read. on to my next buy!!

I loved Double-Crossed. A great combination of thriller, mystery and romance. Reed is an excellent main character/hired gun/thief. OK, I admit, there are a lot of names, branches of families and spouses to start off with. But it will clear up.

Great story. Have read and loved all the Devil series. Love Cain and Remi. Was a bit sad that there haven't been any sequels added recently. Loved this book though. Has all the excitement of the under belly of Sin City. Reed, like Cain and Remi was very likeable, while still not drifting out of character.
Well done. Hope there is another Devil book in the works of Cain and Remi will be featured in the Las Vegas series.

It's awesome that we get to hear about other main characters from Ms Vali's other series.

I enjoyed getting to know Reed, Oscar & Brinkley along with little Finn. Reed becomes a thief & we get an inside look at why she chose thievery as a profession.

Double-Crossed has a lot of action of who did what & why & how. It was a good, fun read to find out who gets double crossed & why & how. Reed ends up double crossed & has to figure out how to get out of the mess that others get her into.

Enjoyable reading. Reed could have her own series just like Casey Cain!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mob series
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019
Reed is a self employed assassin. Raised by an addicted and neglectful mother until removed by the Nevada State, she grew up forgotten in a foster system that spit her out at the age of eighteen. Reed ditched her previous identity and started working towards complete independence from everyone and anything. After all, no one had ever helped her in life.

Brinley Myers moved to Las Vegas with her one year old son. Her previous partner cheated on her and that made her turn to an ill advised night with a man, leaving her pregnant with Finn and hounded by the man’s family for money. Getting a fresh start away from them took her to the Moroccan Casino’s accounting department. Soon, her life is upended when her employer takes out a contract on her. Reed is in even more trouble as she struggles to eliminate an innocent person while getting caught in a war between the powerful mob families in Las Vegas.

'Double crossed' is a mob story with romance at the side. Thirty percent into the tale, and the mains had not met yet. There was a lot of mob family related dynamics that made this feel like a Joe Pesci movie. Interesting if you are into it, but not so great for romance fans. If you enjoyed the movie ‘Casino’, this will be enjoyable as well.

I have to say, this book moved me in a few different ways. It made me shake my head at how a child had to endure so much in life and get by with so little support. It also made me question what I was reading when Reed simply committed a double murder. The author even managed to evoke some sadness when Reed left an escort behind. Ms Vali did a great job of conveying feelings, whether it was anger, greed, sadness, regret or loneliness.

Reed isn't an easy to love character. There was something about her not making excuses for her choices that made her a likable character in the end. She openly admitted to Brinley how damaged she was. How she was no better than the people who hired her to eliminate other individuals. On the other side, Brinley falling in love with the person hired to kill her was crazy, but somehow Ms. Vali makes it sound credible in some twisted way. Still, the romance was lacking for me and while the ending clearly sets this as just the beginning of a series, I was not crazy about the choices the mains made. However, I will read the next book and just accept the premise of the story and enjoy it for what it is, an intrigue/thriller book.

Complex plot, fascinating protagonist, and so well-written. A superb thriller – 5 Stars

Oh my! This is the first book by Ali Vali that I’ve read and it was outstandingly good. Set in the gambling capital of Las Vegas, the story opens with Reed Gable fulfilling a contract-kill. Intelligent, controlled, and somewhat an enigma, Reed works for the money, and there are plenty who are willing to pay big bucks for her skills. However, when Reed is hired very soon after to kill another casino employee, Brinley Myers, Reed makes a mistake that is guaranteed to make her life a whole lot more complicated…she asks herself ‘Why?’

This intricately plotted book involves the extended members of not one, but three mob families, plus a host of lesser ‘players’ too. As the story progresses, more about what motivates Reed is revealed, as is the complex balance of power and loyalties that define the ‘rules’ under which the mob families operate. ‘Double Crossed’ is a book with a storyline that constantly offered more than I was expecting, and kept me guessing right to the very end. And, as for Reed? Well, she’s one of those rare characters that I found repulsive on one level, yet incredibly attractive on another. Brilliant!

This is a fast paced crime story where the mob are involved. It has plenty of twists and turns and also a lot of characters to keep track of. The two main characters connect when one is contacted to kill the other but is unable to do so because she has a child. This keeps you reading because you want to find out what happens. I could not put this book down and I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author.
