I enjoyed this book just as much as the third one! The pacing of this one felt ridiculous the whole way through so it was a riot to read. I’m really glad that some major story lines from the previous books have finally been wrapped up so that we can move on. Also Stephen is clueless.

The way I desperately wanted to like this book and yet dreaded reading it every time I picked it up.
The plot lines are going from “suspended disbelief” to absolute insanity and there are so many villains all coming after Finn and Vero by this point that it feels impossible to keep the players straight. I can generally follow a large cast of characters and complex plot points but this book threw me off. Every chapter I was rolling my eyes and also found “wait, who is that again? How is he involved?” To the point where it was almost stressful. I think it would have been better to read book three right before this book. Since I read it approximately a year ago, I’d forgotten some critical details and the author gives you absolutely no help in recalling earlier plot points.
This book picks up literally right where book three leaves off, which again gives you zero context if you’re trying to read this having had a reading break since the last book. Maybe it was my fault for not re-reading book three before starting this one, but I refuse to believe a prerequisite of enjoying a book should be remembering every small detail of the book before.
The plot holes are getting bigger, the hijinks weirder, and the characters more unbelievable. Everyone dies around these two and the cops have never once thought to investigate them? Ooookay.

Solid addition to the series, though the narrow escapes and action sequences are getting less and less plausible. Also a bit more violent than the previous books.

At first, I wasn't confident that I would like this book. Part of that was due to the fact that it's been over a year since I read the previous book in the series, and I didn't do anything to refresh my memory about what happened, though I remembered the major events. The other part was due to the fact that the plot seemed to focus more on Vero, Javi, and their problems instead of Finlay, the mob, etc. However, when I was a little less than halfway through the book, I was able to get as into it as I'd gotten into the previous books in the series, remember all of the characters and their stories/connections, etc., which made for a much more exciting and enjoyable reading experience.

I love this silly series. I read the last book so long ago that it took a while for me to remember all the characters and where the story had left off. It’s not a piece of profound literature, but I still give it five stars because I love all the main women characters and it’s a fun book that can make any bad day easier.
