Finlay Donovan has done it again! Done what? Got into trouble, of course! The seemingly never ending troubles continue for Finlay in this latest installment. I’m not sure what made me think this was the last book in the series, but I’m glad it’s not!

I’m not sure this would work for any other series or characters. But there’s just something about Finlay, Vero, and the rest of them that keeps me hooked. I find the shenanigans hilarious and entertaining! In an odd way, the characters feel relatable in their actions and reactions. I suppose that’s what lends a bit of realism to the whole thing even as I’m logically aware that none of it is realistic.

Still, this one is just as entertaining as the others and picks up where we left off, which is another part I love. The continuation of one story, as opposed to totally new, disconnected dilemmas, is much appreciated. I’ll for sure be following along until its conclusion, whenever that may be!

Thank you to Minotaur Books & St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!

Kinda ends on a cliffhanger and I don't even see an expected next one (I'm sure there is one, just no date yet). Wish I would've waited to read them back to back.

A generous 4 stars (really probably 3.5…). I was wishing for a little more wrap up on this one. Some things were, but it also felt a little rehashed. I really enjoy Finlay and Vero’s madcap adventures so I’ll keep reading as long as this series continues, but I’m done with the Russian mob boss…

Elle Cosimano never disappoints! This is the 3rd installment of Finlay and it's as good as the first. I didn't realize that everything that happened in this book happened within a WEEK. There is a lot of stuff that happens. That's probably why I love this story so much because it's so fast paced. Also Vero is my FAVORITE! It would not be the same without her. She adds so much laughter to otherwise extremely tense situations. I can't wait for the 4th one to get to know a little bit more about her and her past. I'm also excited to see where Finlay and Nick end up, will they last or just barely get started?
