I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard and had to stop looking at the book in order to calm down so I could breathe normally. Did the plot make sense at all? ...not really, no-- in fact, I ended up skimming the info dump explanations because ...seriously? but the humor was on point.
5 stars for the enjoyment factor and the vibes.

I enjoyed this last installment less than the rest of the series. It might just be me, but I couldn’t get into the story and humor this time.

I LOVE MY FINALE MEN! 
They are constantly getting back up again and again, even when everyone basically has it out for them. But, Dear Lord, every single time a character from a previous book kept showing up, it was like witnessing the Avengers assemble. They've come such a long way since The Fence incident, and I just didn't want to stop reading their story. It's safe to say I loved every single character that was mentioned in this book. This is series is without a doubt one of the best things I've ever read.

Audio: 5 million stars, Michael Ferriauolo is Leland and crew!
Book: 4.5 stars

I loved this new addition to the series, while it isn't my favorite of the 5 (6 including Cassel and Jerebear's) books, this still made me laugh and kept me engaged through all their adventures.

I hope that not only Tavish has a book but Micha and Everly too! This group of characters keeps growing and I am not mad about it! It leaves room for more Hitman books and that is a win to me! haha

As our adventures with Leland and Jackson, and their assorted crew of rather reluctant friends and colleagues, we definitely went out with a huge bang. 

From beginning to end, Leland and Jackson are non-stop. There's fuckery afoot (isn't there always?), and the lives of the people Leland cares about most are at risk. And Leland is not about to let that slide. 

I will say Leland wasn't quite as annoying in this book as he was in the previous two, but that's mostly because there just was too much going on. Leland didn't really have time to get up to too many of his usual antics - though he definitely had more than enough time to arm himself and everyone around him quite adequately. 

In a way, this didn't reel like a true conclusion. I feel like there's more that could be coming. There does seem to be some unfinished business between Leland and the man who trained him as a hitman. As far as I'm aware, there are no plans to continue this series, but I've learned to never say never.

I don't want this series to be over. I'm going to miss the fence.
