Neil’s past is rapidly catching up to him and there is little time to make things right. Much has changed about the Neil of the first book because now Neil has reasons to stay with the Palmetto State Foxes, his family, his home. You can really feel his resolve radiating from the pages, very different from the Neil who was determined to bolt, so you know that the character development is A++ up in here.
This conclusion to the trilogy goes out on a soft yet hopeful note (although I wish there was a little more to the epilogue). I’m happy that the characters, despite all that’s happened regarding the Moriyamas and Neil, they stay true to their code and their friendship and resolve to protect their own, no matter who they used to be before. That kind of connection is profound, but is magnificently portrayed in the camaraderie of this once fractured, but now whole, team.
My heart aches for Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten, but I’m happy that they’re now safe and content and together. (My heart physically aches for them, especially Andrew. Why am I so emotional?)

The first book had my curiosity, the second one had my attention, and the third had my LOVE. This is one of the only series I’ve read where it actually got better the more I read. Neil’s arc was so beautifully delivered as he became less of an unreliable narrator while simultaneously opening up to his team. This is the only book where I actually needed to physically step away because the emotions were too much. I cried at least twice reading this.
[EDIT 12-18-2020 SECOND READ]
Okay, I just finished rereading this. Wow. Emotions = felt. Tears = shed. Soul = crushed. I literally cannot stop thinking about this series. It has taken over my life (probably for the worst, but I’ll live with it). Just-yes. Thank you, it was amazing.
