I really liked the concept of this book. I did figure out who the spy was before starting this book, BUT
I love how intertwined all of these books are and how the other characters are so present in each book. I feel like unlike the other books, the romance is not the main focus of the story. I liked that instead of the romance takeovering the storyline, we had more of a focus on the Mafia elements. I also liked how the 3rd POV in this book was the spy's father. I would have also loved to get his mother's POV, I think that would have been interesting.
I have to say the low points of this book were
Tropes: secret identity, mafia, rival families

It was bittersweet reading the collective couples' epilogues, but I just saw that Sophie is giving us one more book, so I recommend you don't read them until after that one once it's released!
This is my favorite book of the series for such excellent plotting and laying out the groundwork that paid off magnificently.
I'll miss Kingmakers... at least until we get our last story.
Still can't believe I managed to find a mafia book I love, thanks Sophie!

My main issue with this book specifically (along with ongoing issues from other books which I’ve talked about in my other reviews of the other books in this series like lack of birth control etc) was the age gap tbh - they didn’t talk about it tbh and I totally forgot one was a freshman and one was a senior but damn that’s kinda weird 😬 so ya that definitly wasn’t my favorite thing
