5.0? I thought this was a really fitting and well done conclusion to this series. I would highly recommend it if you liked book 1, it was great in much the same way that book 1 was, just with a larger found family and more focus on the greater plot! (As a note, I would check the triggers for this book if you’re sensitive to reading about grief or suicide, as well as a good few explicit sexual scenarios with consensual nonconsent)

I liked that we met Hawthorn in book 1 and Alan in book 2, so we already had a good idea of these characters. It made reading their romance so much more fun. I do think my favorite romance in the series has to go to Robin and Edwin, but I think maybe the plot in this one was better! Overall an excellent series, and one that I highly recommend!

My favorite book of the trilogy; it’s a little unfortunate that you have to get through the first two books to get to this one, where the story finally came into its own. Also. Some grade-A smut.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. The best thing I've read in ages.

Can’t get into it. The first two in the series were fun, easy light reads but I’m just not enjoying this one.

I didn’t expect the ending and that’s a high compliment!!! Rereading for a second time, I loved seeing all the pieces that led the crew to that resolution. Jack and Alan’s relationship is so much fun to watch unfold. A worthwhile and fun ending to the trilogy.

There’s murder and danger and high stakes and yet I walked away feeling like this book is a cozy sweater which is the weirdest but best explanation of this book I can give.

 Better than the second one, not as good as the first. Well braided story lines with previously introduced characters. Interesting take on class wars and ideology.
