can no longer have. When his brother is murdered Cassel becomes trapped between the FBI and the mob, both of whom want to use his talents for their own cause.
I have to say that Red Glove was as brilliant as White Cat, a book that I loved wholeheartedly. Even as Cassel explains how to swindle a mark, I can't help but love him. I feel sorry for him and I keep hoping he can just get out of this whole thing alive. He is certainly not an innocent character but there is something about him that invites sympathy and I sincerely hope that he can get together with Lila and live a normal life. I don't think that is possible but, you know, one can hope.
I love the world of the curse workers that Black has built. It is intriguing that, as one of the FBI agents says, if you know that you are a curse worker then you've already broken the law. Because it is taboo to lay bare hands on someone else and it is illegal to work someone. I love how just the sight of bare hands causes an extreme reaction in people. It's almost like being naked and carrying a loaded weapon at the same time.

(highlight) ** I just wanted to say that I was kind of right about the chair. In my review of White Cat, I questioned the chair, thinking maybe it was Cassel's dad. I was wrong about that, but it was a person. I feel alright about my detecting ability right now because I also was guessed it was Maura that killed her husband.**

I really like the sound of this book and that it's different. I think I will try the first book. Maybe I will adore it too. ;)
