To get you started, here is the first chapter of Deadlock! I’m so excited for you to meet Lindsey and Jace.
Chapter 1:
I’m going to kill my sister.
Lindsey Morris gritted her teeth into a smile for the photo her jolly Aunt Martha snapped, the silent threat in her head becoming more of an inevitable truth with each passing moment. God knows, it wasn’t unlike her twin sister Lena to flake out on her, but their parents’ fortieth anniversary party was something the two of them had been planning for months. All for Lena to leave Lindsey holding the bag. Again.
Relieved from picture duty at last, she left her parents and hustled in her towering heels across the banquet hall to check on the champagne, dodging cousins and uncles and aunts. She hadn’t seen some of them in years. If a certain sister hadn’t left her running this entire show, she might have had time to stop and catch up with each of them.
All of it had come together nicely, though. Her parents were beaming in front of a life-size poster of one of their wedding pictures, forty years having done nothing to dim their happiness and love for each other. Lindsey snapped a picture of her own before slipping out the door into an echoing hallway to dial Lena. As expected, her sister’s voicemail greeting chirped in her ear.
“Hello?” A long pause ensued, during which Lindsey’s blood pressure spiked. “Gotcha! Sorry, you don’t get to talk to me right now. If you want to talk to me later, better make it good.”
Lindsey waited for the tone. “I don’t want to talk to you. I want to strangle you. Dammit, Lena, where are you?”
Hours passed before she could get away to the blissful solitude of her apartment, where she hoped a glass of wine and a Simpsons marathon might make her feel a little better. But even Bart and Homer’s animated antics weren’t enough. Her anger had burned away to sad ashes, and she couldn’t get her parents’ disappointed faces out of her mind. It would serve Lena right if none of them ever spoke to her again, as drastic as it sounded, but something about Lena made one eager to trust her and believe her when she made the promises she never kept. And the anger Lindsey felt when that inevitably happened could just as easily be turned on herself for enabling her twin, for never enforcing any consequences when Lena flaked out.
But how many times had she tried? How many times had it worked?
Then her glass was empty, and she poured another, sitting alone on her couch and staring at the way the light from the TV played hypnotically through the crimson depths as she swirled the liquid in her glass. Everything she was doing to make herself feel better was having the opposite effect. The fact she had no one to vent her frustrations to made it worse. Bad-mouthing her sister to their parents wasn’t an option, especially today—they were probably on the plane for their anniversary trip to Cabo San Lucas.
Lucky them.
“I need a vacation, too,” Lindsey told her wineglass. It was the only one there to listen. Then, sighing, she set it down on her coffee table and picked up her phone, shooting ramrod straight when she saw that she had somehow missed a text from Lena twenty minutes ago. She’d probably been in the kitchen scavenging.
Sorry. Ran into some trouble. Give Mom and Dad my love. I need a favor. Go to this address and ask him for help. Please. It will all become clear.
An address followed, which Lindsey’s eyes scanned without seeing. Her brain had shorted out on the word “favor.”
“Are you freaking kidding me?” she asked her phone, gripping it with a force that threatened to shatter it.
Lena in trouble was nothing new. Ever since high school, on through college, and even after, she’d been getting herself or someone else into shit she couldn’t always talk her way out of. Thinking Lindsey would simply forget about tonight and rush in to help her was simply par for the course, but Jesus, it had to stop sometime, didn’t it?
One thing was for sure. No way was she going to that address, wherever it was. To some strange place to ask someone she didn’t know for—what, even? Who was she supposed to be looking for? She wasn’t about to let Lena make her look like an idiot on top of everything.
No one else could get her off her warm cocoon on the couch to face the biting cold. She didn’t know what she might find at her sister’s apartment; she didn’t care, but she was going all the same. Lena probably wouldn’t be there, but maybe it wouldn’t be too difficult to nose around and find out where she was. Then she would go find her, even if she had to hop on a plane to do it.
There were some things she desperately needed to say to Lena’s face, and it was well past time.
She rushed through her apartment, throwing on a coat and shoving her feet into boots, her pulse pounding in her ears. No one else on earth could push her buttons like this. Lindsey hadn’t trusted Lena since college, her twin’s antics during that particular time of their lives having been the final straw.
Yes, she was her sister. Yes, Lindsey still loved her as such. Gossip sessions, shopping trips, friendship…those areas had always come easily. But real trust?That ship had sailed years ago, when Lena had pulled what was probably her cruelest stunt of all—at least that Lindsey knew of. The skeletons that could lurk hidden in Lena’s closet were enough to give her cold chills. The two of them had the same face, and Lena probably had enough enemies that Lindsey should look over her own shoulder when she walked down the street.
In the back of the Uber she called because wine and rage and driving didn’t mix, she white-knuckled her purse straps all the way to her sister’s apartment, going over everything she wanted to say in her mind in case Lena was there. Confrontation ordinarily tied her tongue up in knots, and no doubt it would this time.
She had to have her words straight in her head or they would slip right out. But niggling in the back of her mind was the fact that their parents would never get over an irreparable rift between them, no matter the cause. It was enough for her to rein in on a few of the epithets she wished to hurl at Lena’s perpetually smug face. But not many.
If Lena was off having a grand adventure with plans to show up next week thinking all was well—she added the epithets back in.
Long ago, Lena had given Lindsey a key to her apartment so she could water her plants while she was away. The plants had died anyway—Lena didn’t even take care of them herself after she got home from wherever she’d been. But Lindsey had hung on to the key, and it had come in handy more than once. She stalked directly to her sister’s door, lifted her fist to beat on it, thought better of it—she might not even answer—and fit the key into the lock.
The sight that greeted her as she flipped the nearby light switch caused her heart to stutter and her breath to catch, momentarily choking her.
Her sister’s apartment was trashed.
Scavenger Hunt: Where are Lindsey’s parents going for their anniversary trip?

Sto girando su Crazy Time da un paio di stagioni, per cui ha senso buttare giu qualcosa siccome qui se ne parlava. Non e la recensione perfetta, giusto la mia esperienza.
La cosa che mi ha preso subito e stata la sezione con i croupier veri. Trovi gli show, baccarat con croupier che parlano italiano dalle 18 in poi, e va da se quella famosa ruota con Cash Hunt e Pachinko. Sulle slot siamo intorno ai 2.000 giochi: Pragmatic con Sweet Bonanza e Gates of Olympus, il vecchio Book of Dead di Play’n GO, qualcosa di NetEnt, Betsoft e Yggdrasil. Non e un catalogo infinito, ma il grosso c’e.
La promo iniziale su Crazy Time era il classico 100% fino a 300€ con in aggiunta 150 free spin dati un po’ alla volta. Il wagering sta sui 35x, cosa che ti fa sudare ma ho visto di molto peggio. Girava anche dei free spin senza deposito ma cambia spesso, per cui tanto vale verificare le condizioni aggiornate sul Crazy Time download: guida completa all??™app per Android e iOS, bonus e sicurezza se ti interessa.
Si parte da 10€, la registrazione con SPID e documento — nel mio caso e passata in 24 ore, a un amico quasi tre. Visa e Mastercard vanno senza storie, Neteller e Skrill sono i piu veloci, accettano pure crypto pero li non so dirti. Le uscite fatti su Crazy Time hanno impiegato uno o due giorni con Skrill, in banca ci vogliono 3-4 giorni.
Quello che non mi e piaciuto: non c’e un’app vera, c’e la versione mobile web. Funziona bene sul telefono, ma in certi tavoli live mi si e impallato e ho ricaricato la pagina. L’assistenza di Crazy Time ti risponde in italiano 24 ore su 24, attese sui 5 minuti, pero la prima risposta e quasi sempre preconfezionata. Licenza dichiarano la MGA — per un giocatore italiano e un dettaglio che pesa, ognuno si regola.
It’s enormous that you are getting thoughts from this post as well
as from our argument made here.

Bazzico su Crazy Time da circa mezzo anno, allora ha senso scrivere due righe dato che qui si chiedeva. Non e la recensione perfetta, semplicemente come e andata a me.
Il motivo per cui sono rimasto e la parte live. Girano gli show, blackjack con dealer in italiano in fascia serale, e va da se quella famosa ruota con i bonus round. Lato slot siamo intorno ai 2.500 e passa slot: i soliti Pragmatic tipo Gates of Olympus e Sweet Bonanza, Play’n GO, NetEnt, Betsoft e Yggdrasil. Non hanno tutto, ma il grosso c’e.
Il pacchetto di benvenuto su Crazy Time quando mi sono iscritto era un 100% fino a 500€ piu 200 giri gratis distribuiti nei giorni successivi. Il wagering e 35x, che non e una passeggiata ma ho visto di molto peggio. C’erano anche un piccolo no deposit pero ruota di continuo, quindi tanto vale verificare i termini attuali sul Crazy Time recensione prima di depositare.
Il minimo per depositare 20€, iscrizione con documento d’identita — da me ci e voluto un giorno, a un mio amico quasi tre. Le carte vanno senza storie, Neteller e Skrill sono i piu veloci, accettano pure crypto ma non l’ho usato. Le uscite da Crazy Time hanno impiegato uno o due giorni con Skrill, in banca siamo sui 3-4 giorni.
La cosa che mi ha dato fastidio: niente app da scaricare, si gioca dal browser. Gira bene sul telefono, ma su alcune slot si e bloccato costringendomi a riavviare. L’assistenza che trovi su Crazy Time parla italiano ed e attiva h24, tempi sui 5 minuti, pero la prima risposta e quasi sempre preconfezionata. Licenza dichiarano la MGA — per l’Italia e una cosa da sapere, ognuno si regola.
