Made of countless stories, contributed by every character, set in a city where the lines between morality and immorality are blurred. A romance thriller at its core, here is what is on the menu when you are served House of Cards:
HORS D’OEURVE
PLOT
A dash of thriller mixed with romance, drama, and intricate details freshly plucked from every character’s past. Spooning it over an exhilarating beginning, toe-curling climax, and a teary ending. Sprinkled with a balance of sweet fluff and savoury sexual tension.
PACING
Blending a fast-moving story with slow-paced sections and a pinch of cliffhangers.
WRITING STYLE
A sweet treat for all types of readers. Except for a few jargon sprinkled across the story. Heavy-words-free, unnecessary description-free, with special attention to grammar and punctuations.
APPETIZER
SETTING
A fresh location called Sitciny fermented in “the present time” for a year. Classist and capitalist. Served with chilly winds, early graves, and a fight for survival.
ORIGINALITY
Quillinary styled interpretation of the enemies to lovers trope, the reverse sunshine-grumpy trope, and the second chance at love trope. Strong female characters, a healthy male lead character, topped with layered character development, angst, and refreshing romance.

She tasted the desire for love and hate.
Once, a little too fast and once, a little too late.
Terror reigns Sitciny ever since the ruthless Wayne Hayes gained command. He has risen to power with an equally formidable companion.

Her plan to betray Wayne and regain control is put to the test when a twist of fate brings her to her ex-lover, Ryan Price. The attorney on Wayne’s radar is bound to disappear any day. Will Maise let Ryan be the collateral damage for breaking her heart 14 years ago, or will she risk everything and change the entire game? “House of Cards” is a thrilling tale of power, betrayal, and love that explores the thin line between deepest desires and deadliest hate.
