An amazing conclusion to a fantastic series - I'm going to miss these guys so much!
I already know I'm going to struggle to write a review that does this book justice without also throwing spoilers around like confetti at a wedding. Suffice to say Alain continues to terrorize with how twisted, evil and psychotic he is. Which means James, Lois and Adie continue to suffer at his blood strewn hands.
The story is fast-paced and action-packed, venturing repeatedly into some pretty dark territory. It didn't want to put this down, and when my thoughtful teenage son had me awake at the crack-ass of dawn, instead of being sensible and attempting to grab a couple more hours of sleep, I picked this up and read it until it was finished.
Strike that, I didn't read it, I devoured it like the most delicious of meals, savouring every morsel and extracting every last drop of flavour that I possibly could from it. I want to say I loved every single word of it but the author, and those who have already read the book, will know that isn't possible. There is possibly a tiny little lose thread that was left. It didn't play out the way I expected, but I'm hoping against hope that the author possibly has plans for it. Please. Otherwise I may seriously fall out with her.
It's written first person from Adie, James and Lois' points of view and all 6 books must be read in the correct order, this isn't a stand alone. (I made the mistake of attempting to start with book #4 and quickly found myself totally lost.) This, along with Ariana Nash's Silk & Steel series, is my joint favourite series of 2019 and is without a shadow of a doubt my top BDSM/romantic suspense/dark read of the year.
