Wow, what a culmination and gripping conclusion, weaving easter eggs from the previous three books. It wasn't until the second book I was starting to pick up on things, and the blurb I saw for the fourth had me scouring book three for hints. I may or may not have put off another read-along to make sure I finished this instead.

It was bittersweet reading the collective couples' epilogues, but I just saw that Sophie is giving us one more book, so I recommend you don't read them until after that one once it's released!
This is my favorite book of the series for such excellent plotting and laying out the groundwork that paid off magnificently.

I'll miss Kingmakers... at least until we get our last story.

Still can't believe I managed to find a mafia book I love, thanks Sophie!

I really really loved this one!!! The spy and Nix were amazing together and the way everything played out was so satisfying and well thought out - I didn’t personally like this quite as much as Miles and Zoe or Dean and Cats books quite but it was really really satisfying to read and I loved the way it came together
My main issue with this book specifically (along with ongoing issues from other books which I’ve talked about in my other reviews of the other books in this series like lack of birth control etc) was the age gap tbh - they didn’t talk about it tbh and I totally forgot one was a freshman and one was a senior but damn that’s kinda weird 😬 so ya that definitly wasn’t my favorite thing
