A thrilling conclusion to the New Year chapter of Stonewall Investigations!!

This was one of the first books of Max’s that I’ve read and I couldn’t put it down! I love a good murder mystery and The Unicorn was imaginative, creepy and everything you need in a sadistic serial killer. A Lover’s Game is a thrilling murder mystery with an established steamy and engaged couple, Zane and Enzo. I loved both Zane and Lorenzo but I must say I’m a sucker for Italian charm (and wit). This story is the conclusion of The Unicorn serial killer that seemed to be an overarching subplot in the Stonewall Investigation Series. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, as all important details are alluded to but I would recommend reading the first in the Stonewall series to understand Zane and Enzo and to get a better feel for them as a couple. I also feel like I needed to know more about how The Unicorn’s victim and fellow Stonewall Detective, Collin Eillish and how he died. That being said I was kept on the edge of my seat tiring to guess who the killer was. It wasn’t until towards the end that a few things clicked into place and I love that Max kept me guessing (as that is hard to do!). This story is dynamic, detailed, thrilling and steamy and now I have to go back and read the rest in the series! I look forward to seeing where Max takes the Miami chapter and what he does next!!

A highly recommended thriller!!

An excellent conclusion to the series, especially with the serial killer coming back around to be the focus for Zane and Enzo. I did enjoy the challenges they faced to strengthen their relationship, beyond the first blush of romance.

Great ending to the Stonewall series. Very similar to all the other books. Light on action/threat, and I worked out the baddie fairly early on, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless.

Can't wait to spin off to Miami!
