He'd come to the Foxhole Court every inch a lie, but his friends made him into someone real.

who doesn't love an underdog story.

this entire series was a ride, but most especially this final installment. this book is packed and BAT SHIT, but gives way to a riveting buildup to the final showdown. i feel like things overall were tied up fairly well. andrew minyard and neil josten are probably the only characters i will ever suffer a mafia/underground crime plotline for. this is the most dysfunctional found family ever and i love them.

i need to go find any and all fan art and post-epilogue fan fic of this series now, thank you.

4.0

I think this is the strongest installment in the series by far; we actually get character development, growth, everything from the first two books is paying off and it's GLORIOUS.  I couldn't put it down, and actually cried a couple times; it's been a wild ride, and I definitely think this isn't the book for everyone, but I had a hell of a good time with it.
