So… the Spade Brothers 💀🔥♥️🥹🥵
I quite enjoyed the plot and pacing on this one; there was the obligatory dark romance trope, but also some good thriller elements, unexpected twists, and admittedly tear jerking moments.
Even though the LORDS series can be read as standalones, I stand by the author's suggestion to read them in order, as this one specifically involved a lot of callbacks to both The Sinner and The Sacrifice. This book almost felt like a conclusion to the series, tieing in previous characters and wrapping up plot points, so I am very curious what to expect with Madness (releasing at the end of the year).
