I'm not a big fan of short stories.  After being let down on many occasions because of the less than glamorous descriptions or sad, too rushed plot line, I have avoided short stories.  So when Juli D. Revezzo asked me to read her book House of Cards, I was skeptical.  I opened the book with a little dread because I feared I would be let down again.I wasn't.Revezzo has a great imagination that takes readers on a twisted ride.  House of Cards if filled with imagery, great characters, and wonderful description.  There was never once while reading this short story that I felt the details were lacking.House of Cards is set during the French Revolution.  Fearing for their son's life, Sinjon's parents urge him to run.  Being wealthy in France isn't a pleasure when facing down execution because of your rich bloodline.  Sinjon tries fleeing from France, but finds himself facing a bigger threat.  Sinjon must use his wit to weave his way through this new world he has been subjected to in order to survive.House of Cards is a must read for those who like action, suspense, and a true thrill.
