Ahhh, this was perfection. (Well, almost. I'll get to that.) I loved all the short stories with all my faves and their shenanigans and I'm so sad this series is finished. Though I know I'll see them again in the spin-off series, so that's something. I fell HARD for these books. I will no doubt read them again and again in the future.
My only small complaint is that there's not more content for Archer and Mac in this?? And while we do have shorts for Maniac... it's just prologues again, while I would LOVE some shorts of Thomas and Aiden just being happy together like the others got in their shorts. (Well, all except Archer and Mac, which... again... what the hell?) But it's only a small complaint and it didn't bring down my enjoyment of what we did get.

GAHH I'm so sad this series is over. I loved all of it so freaking much. This book is the perfect end to an absolutely amazing series that I will be revisiting many times in the future.

Yeah, I'm starting to sound real repetitive but I loved this. Period. Archer and Mac are amazing together and my god I fell for Archer HARD in this book. Also loved that it introduced us to one of the spin-off series, which I'm also excited to dive into!

I'm just absolute trash for all the Mulvaney's and their significant others. Truly. This was excellent. Avi and Felix are fire together, holy mother of god. Felix is crazy, dramatic, soft, vulnerable and scarily badass all in equal measure while rocking gender non-conforming fashion. What a hero. Avi is hilarious and fun, one half of the murder twins and Felix's perfect match.
Onwards to Archer's book!

Yessss, this was exactly as amazing as I expected and hoped it would be. I've been looking forward to reading the twins' books and I loved this. Asa and Zane are so fucking good together, it's not even funny. Definitely a power couple by the end.
Also, it might feel like the book spoils the fact that Felix and Avi will get together, but hah, if you've read this book and book 3, Moonstruck, you know it's really inevitable. Still, can't wait to read HOW it happens in the next one! I also suspect things are headed into a certain direction with this foursome and I honestly hope I'm right because YES PLEASE.
Ugh, I love these books so much, it's not even funny.

A cute and fluffy romance... between a psychopath and his crush who just killed his abusive ex. It's a romance novella, Onley James style! And I'm here for it. Dimitri - psychopath and Calliope's son (!!) - and Arlo were so freaking cute and I love them. Also loved the Mulvaney's making an appearance because I adore them too.
I have never read this series before, so the end had me very curious about Asa's book, which is next. I mean. More curious than I already was, that is. Onwards to the murder twins!
