The emotional impact of this book left me drained. A roller coaster ride for the final instalment to the series. I cried my way thru some of the chapters.

A much more enjoyable and pacy book than the second in the series. It was nicely linked to the previous two books but stood well on its own also.

In the final book of the series, we get closer to finding out just why Ben shot Rick and Cole right at the beginning. Of course, this being a Cole McGinnis book, there's just no simple answer. We have to have people shot, chases, action, and don't forget the llamas! There are less than six degrees of separation for our characters, and as the mystery unfolds, characters show up that were once closely linked to Cole, Bobby, and Ben.

Well-written with a brilliant epilogue, this brilliantly concludes the series. And it is a series, a proper, full-on series, so you will need to read from book one for it to make any sense. If you like M/M Mystery Romance, then I can definitely recommend this.

* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *

Easy and quick to read with great characters and a fun plot (0 more)
Fun and fast paced
As the first in five this book is a great introduction to the series, with a continued series of another 5 books released as well. I absolutely loved these books and the characters, especially in the second series despite being older than the target demographic. Highly recommend the series if you are into action and adventure books with quick humor and a dash of romance subplot.

I love love love this book! It was one of my first Alice in Wonderland spinoff reads, and it was actually the very book that got me more interested in the Wonderland theme! The characters are amazing and unique and odd, making it a fun and adventurous book. The rest of the series didnt disappoint!

The start of this book confused me, so much so that I actually went back to Amazon to see if it was indeed book 1. It was but it is book 1 of a series that follows on from a previous series. There was no mention of this anywhere and it was only by muddling through that it became clear. This took something away from my enjoyment of the book, hence the 3 stars.

The story itself was well written with some humorous moments. There are twists and turns aplenty, some of which you can see happening and others which will come from the sidelines when you're not expecting it.

I enjoyed this book whilst I was reading it, once I got past my confusion. However once I closed the book, that was that. Not enough for me to get either the previous books in the first series or get the continuing books in the second series. If you have all four books of The Frey Saga then I would give this one a go - you have the back story so will probably enjoy it more than I did.
