The third novel in J. Gabriel Gates’ YA urban fantasy series The Luck Gods Series, “Daughter of Diamonds,” is a mind-bending original magic system based on the four card suits, slow-burn romance, and royal intrigue. In this episode, Aggie, the recently crowned Queen of Hearts, must deal with the difficulties that come with being a demigoddess,
such as controlling her OCD, getting ready for the SATs, and locating her brainwashed mother, the Queen of Spades. Aggie becomes a suspect after a well-known Heart is killed, and she and her roguish ex-boyfriend, the Jack of Hearts, must work together to solve the case.
