Review: Dangerland! by Erin Singer

Dangerland! by Erin Singer

Blurb from Goodreads:

Kurt Richter has been in love with Eugenie Zepp since he was eight years old. Now he’s in his fifties, twice divorced, a father of four. The entire neighborhood is suing him, and he’s been estranged from Eugenie for a decade.

In other perfect timing to declare himself to her.

Kurt and Eugenie grew up in Vegas among the glamour and the grit, slot machines in pharmacies, off-Strip tiki bars, all night poker games, shimmering desert heat. They’ve spent a lifetime orbiting each other, building families and making a beautiful mess of them while trying to decide if what they share is destiny or disaster.

Now their adult children are back in town with grudges, heartbreaks, and schemes of their own. As secrets surface and loyalties shift, will this be the right time for Eugenie and Kurt, after everything they’ve been through?

In this delicious, darkly funny, romantic comedy, everyone is looking for love in all the wrong places and gambling on the biggest games in life—but in Dangerland, there’s always one more chance to win.

  This reminded me so much of Carl Hiaasen, but set in Las Vegas.  I grew up in Las Vegas, and this was so supremely accurate!  I enjoyed that aspect of it but oh my goodness some of the characters made my heart hurt.  It was funny in its own way and well written.  Definitely give this a try!

Dangerland! comes out next week on July 7, 2026 and you can purchase HERE.  

To love Vegas was to constantly be defending it to outsiders, to tourists, even to one's own husband
