finlay donovan jumps the gun somehow manages to crank the chaos up even higher, and i am fully obsessed. finlay and vero infiltrating a police academy while still juggling their usual mess of crime, questionable life choices, and near-death experiences? perfection. the banter was top-tier, the plot was ridiculous in the best way, and i actually laughed out loud multiple times. at this point, finlay’s entire life is a dumpster fire, but it’s the most entertaining one i’ve ever seen. easily my favorite in the series so far.

This was fine. The audiobook narrator did a good job; however, since I only physically read the last two installments I had a harder time connecting with the characters in this one because how the narrator portrayed the characters wasn’t exactly cohesive with how I had imagined them previously. Obviously no fault of anyone, they were just different takes. The book is a good time though. For me it wasn’t quite as gripping as the others. It lacked something, maybe suspense or just the fun of Finlay being mistaken for a hitman the others had? But the story leaves enough unanswered questions that there’s potential for the next one, and I will pick it up.

This book was…fine? Finlay continues to be a fun character and her life is appropriately chaotic. But the side characters have started taking on crazy lives of their own, the romance is not just a slow burn but positively glacial, and the way each book ends with another cliffhanger is losing its appeal. I’m enjoying the series but I need some resolution to even ONE subplot or I’m going to lose interest.
Dear Elle Cosimano, please write faster, I need more Finlay Donovan!
Another fun story filled with crazy antics of Finlay and Vero getting into one jam after another.

I still really like this series, Finlay and Vero get up to the craziest things, and they're so fun and entertaining, but I feel myself desiring for the conclusion to the whole mob plot and seeing everyone get their happy endings. Certain things are starting to feel a little too drawn out, and I just hope that book four will give us a satisfying conclusion to Finlay's story.
The mystery felt a little lower stakes (not sure why, but they did), and it took me about half the book to get hooked, meanwhile the first two I was hooked almost immediately. I'm also sad about Julian. I like Nick and all, he seems like the more obvious "correct" choice, but Julian really stole my heart in the other two, and I love a good age gap romance.
When I got to the finale though, I was quite surprised out how much the tension really shot up, and that cliffhanger has me excited.
