I feel like I have been on a roller coaster with Sin and Ella for the last 24 hrs. We have become friends. We cheer each other on. We forgive each other. Some readers feel there are certain things that should not be written or forgiven, but thank God that I am not one of them. I am so grateful to Giana Darling for jumping into The Evolution of Sin! I want to be Ella and feel that ferocious devotion from Sin. I am sad to leave this book and have a terrible sleep deprived book hangover. It was so worth it..... much LOVE!

Solid ending to a solid series
I really enjoyed reading this series, and this final book was very fulfilling. It ended as everything should have (in my opinion) and left no loose ends. Can't wait to read more by this author.

What a conclusion to a rollercoaster trilogy.
There's always some characters that get the short end of the stick and as much as Elle didn't get on with Elena, she really didn't deserve what happened to her but no one ever does. She held herself well in the book and especially with the situation she was thrown into. Cheating is bad enough but when it's with a family member? Double whammy.
Sometimes it felt like Elle was the older party in this relationship. At the end of the day, Sin got them into this situation and should have dealt with the ramifications in a better manner but this also helped showcase his character arc. He started to release that he needed to prove his worth to Elle and that she did deserve better. He needed to be there for her and at times he definitely proved that. Their story isn't easy and it isn't supposed to be because when something causes such destruction the journey to healing is never going to be a smooth process.
I think Giana wrote an amazing trilogy and I am dying to know what happens to the other siblings.

Elena Lombardi deserves the whole world and screw her family and friends for making her out to be the villain when she so clearly wasn’t. Elena never should’ve apologised to Giselle that pathetic little witch and the fact that Giselle and Daniel never faced any consequences is so ironic. The only person that got shit for anything was Elena and screw cosima for encouraging the affair and claiming she doesn’t pick a side when she so clearly chose Giselle. I HATE THE LOMARDI’S except Elena my princess did nothing wrong

5 stars!
Another book I could not put down. When I was at about 70% through this, I made myself set it down because I had to get some cleaning done but my reward for cleaning and housework was going to be that last 30%.
Ended on a cliffhanger in the previous book, so I immediately started this one after.
One of the rare times in this entire trilogy, where I sided with Elena. I understood her anger, her hurt, and unfortunately in those moments a person can say things that deeply hurt the other party, whether true or not.
However what did tick me off and again make me start thinking 'screw you' to Elena was the e-mail she sent Sinclair after the blow up.
When Sinclair got that e-mail it was clear that was going to change him for a bit and I'm glad it wasn't for very long. Giselle nipped that in the butt and showed him, told him what she wants is what he can give her and what she wants him to give her.
And again, Elena was not my favorite person. So many interactions between her and Giselle, and her and Sinclair just made me hope she would go away, for awhile.
The only thing, that I felt was a misstep was the Christopher thing. And Giselle made a dumb decision.
However in this book, she gets a threatening note at her and Cosmia's apartment but doesn't tell anyone. The only person she kind of tells, is Dante, who doesn't really do anything as far as I can tell. So of course he shows up at her art show and no one knows that they need to be extra watchful over Giselle because she, again, didn't tell anyone!
Content warning:
This was an amazing finale. I'm so happy we have more with this family and Cosmia and Alexander! I cannot wait to read the duet of them!

Gah, she just can't be a grown up and she has to belittle and call his kink "disgusting" and straight up tell him he's an abuser. Ugh. Shut up Elena!When Sinclair got that e-mail it was clear that was going to change him for a bit and I'm glad it wasn't for very long.

So in the previous book, Giselle feels like someone is following her, she immediately tells people and manages to stay the night at Elena and Sinclair's home. All good things to do, all smart things to do. There's also a moment, when Sinclair is wooing Giselle to take a chance on him for real, that she gets a random picture but because it's during this time when she's getting gifts from Sinclair she doesn't think much of it.However in this book, she gets a threatening note at her and Cosmia's apartment but doesn't tell anyone. The only person she kind of tells, is Dante, who doesn't really do anything as far as I can tell.

There is a forced oral rape, it's not graphic, not by the hero, but how the passage of time is written and a couple lines here and there, it definitely happened.This was an amazing finale. I'm so happy we have more with this family and Cosmia and Alexander! I cannot wait to read the duet of them!
