All it took to blow my world apart was a single word.

A name.

Sabrina.

Like a patchwork reforming in my mind, snapshots of my past are starting to filter back. And with every piece I remember, fury grows inside me like a hurricane.

The man who captured me wants to bury the past, and me along with it. But I’m not afraid of him. I won’t let him hide his secrets in the dark.

Because I’m not alone anymore.

For the first time in my life, I have people in my corner. Declan and Elias knew it long before I could see it, and Gray has finally realized the truth just like I have—we’re stronger together. We’ll have to be to hunt down the monsters that stalk me.

There are people in this town who are rotten to the core, and my Sinners and I are going to burn them down.

We’re going to make them bleed.

We’re going to make them pay.

Even if we have to walk through hell to do it.

Finished the trilogy! For some reason, I’d convinced myself that there were four books in this series – I was wrong. Eva Ashwood has the kind of brain that makes me smile and also fills me with anxiety! She has a great way of writing a book, but the plot is always a little psychotic.

This book was quite fast-paced to keep up with the demanding plot line. It was definitely a ‘finale’ book, crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s. Reeling from the events of book 2, Sophie had her work cut out for her both mentally and physically. There is a level of human resilience that captivates, finding out the worst of your past and being able to move forward with it, and Sophie manages that.

I knew that the plot surrounding Alan was going to be more complicated, and it did remind me of elements of Kings of Chaos, but in a less dramatic way. Don’t get me wrong, Alan is a fucking bastard, but he’s less of a bastard than the ‘final boss’ if you will, in the Kings of Chaos series.

It is in this book that the quartet come together more solidly, solidifying their feelings for each other and being accepting of the untraditional relationship they share. It’s a subtle arch that feels less like a plot point and more like a narration. But I appreciated it.

We get to learn much more about Sophie’s unknown past in this book, which was needed. Without it, Sophie’s character development would have hit a brick wall, and she wouldn’t have been able to mentally survive what this book brings to light.

It was very much an HEA kind of book with a well-rounded epilogue that made sense for the characters involved.

There was the added avenue concerning Sophie’s past, which I’ll not reveal here, but I’m not sure how it added to the narrative or plot. I could have taken or left it to be honest, it didn’t really add anything that I found meaningful to the development of the plot.

I do think that I was expecting more of a climactic explosion to tidy everything up. It was there, and it was clear, but I felt like I needed something more. It was a little too neat for my head to wrap itself around the conclusion.

Honestly, I am so tired today. I’ve got really itchy, sore eyes, and I’ve been yawning non-stop. I got eight hours of sleep, so I really shouldn’t be this exhausted, but I also greeted the morning waking up from a dream where I was in a hiking group that was being chased by a bear, and then a cow called Matilda, who wore glasses, was savagely eaten by said bear…so I can only apologize for this short review.
