A good finale for this series. There is closure for all of the major plot points and everybody gets their happy ending. There are MM and MMMF scenes in this book, which I am super excited about. I'm so excited that all of the bad guys got what they deserved.

i’m so glad Scarlett & her boys got their true HEA.
the fight scene between mafia families was wild & i enjoyed reading it all. the triad came out on top. i’m so glad Scarlett’s dad is dead & gone as well as the POS who raped her that scene was liberating to read.
this book had all the enjoyable sex scenes. i enjoy the sharing & jealousy at the same time LOL

This book was simultaneously everything I could have asked for and just not enough.
The beginning? *chef’s kiss* Absolutely perfect. The angst, the genuine heartbreak, the total unsteadiness of everyone in the Triad. Everything is in shambles and all anyone knows is that they are out for blood but don’t know exactly who they want it from or how to go about getting it since most of their assets have essentially been destroyed. They have manpower but nowhere to point it.
Now… I have some slightly ambivalent feelings with the way the situation was resolved between Scarlett and Motshan after the events at the end of “Liars” (if you know, you know). I don’t know how anyone, especially Scarlett, could make heads or tails in any competent manner after that night or trust their memories, but I also don’t know how much weight they carry for me in the long run in terms of rating the book. It’s like, “Yeah, this whole plot point has some holes in it I don’t like and are bothering me, but it’s all in service to something greater in the plot so maybe look at it that way”. Plus, Motshan isn’t a big enough personality to compete with either Scar or the boys anyway.
Now, we get to my favorite part of the whole book that doesn’t involve nookie of some kind: the ENTIRE middle section. The whole 30% or so section that might as well have sprung from the forehead of Frances Ford Coppola like Athena did from the forehead of Zeus. This huge, sprawling, epic action sequence was not only inspired–it was the la petite morte for all us reverse-harem mafia romance readers who love our heroes and heroines blood-soaked, violent, and utterly psychotic. What I wouldn’t have given to be a Go-Pro on Scarlett’s dress!
The largest downer in the book came after this point in the book. After the events of that day wrap up we don’t get to see the wrap-up of events between the two gangs, we get time devoted to a subplot romance I couldn’t have given a toss about, and we get a lot of waiting around. It’s just too much down time and too much discussion about babies. Nothing turns me off more than constant talk from men about when they can get to knocking a woman up.
What did I enjoy in the later 15-20%? Um, hello, Sebastian and Tristan! I don’t care if it felt a little forced. Sword-crossing is always okay in my book. And the sex. Lots of varied, spicy scenes.
Dana has concluded this trilogy in a challenging year, but she has done it with aplomb. I still remember “Scars” was one of the first RH mafia romances I read when I started reading these sorts of books last year, and I feel in love with the down-and-dirty Scarlett: the mafia princess who ran away from that life when she found out what her evil father had in store for her and decided to go somewhere else and make a life for herself. Years later, she’s made a life of her own with men who love her and her own power to wield. She may have never truly gotten away from the mafia life, but the mafia life she has she runs on her terms.

What a good ending
I’m waiting on my physical copy to arrive but I needed to finish the series. I loved this series so much… I wish I had gotten the extra ending though. I know they are available in the discrete covers though. Maybe when I have more money I will do that. Cuz I know what it will probably include and I need it. Scar, Seb, Tristan and Eliott will always hold a special place in my heart now. Well done Dana ❤️

Omens was a very anticlimactic end to a meh series. The entire series has very basic generalized tropes from several different dark romances, and when it does try to do something different, it doesn't pull it off. The FMC is just another bad play off on Harley Quinn (which seems to be a common occurrence with a lot of mafia stories). I don't find her different or special in any way. The guys are all similar styles to a million other guys. We did get some MM crossover action within the reverse harem which was great. And I feel like she tried to get some depth in Elliot with his backstory. But it all just falls short. The spice though with all Dana's books was excellent, but if you took out the MM play, it was all kinda the same shit different story.
