Ok at first, this was not the book I wanted. I was bored and a little irritated, but then after a POV came into present day and other povs started picking up, I was glued to the story. I couldn't put it down. I needed to know what was next, what plans were being made, and how it was all going to work out. I can honestly say, while I suspected Ares from the get go, I didn't expect who is father was or what was really going on. There was a lot of mess and plot points brought to a head. Hedeon's parents story is actually sad, except for his dad. I'm glad that he got his happy ending regardless of what his past is. I also love the epilogue of every single couple and how they are all doing. This book was a lot. But worth the initial slog!

The writing and the plot just keeps getting better! I figured out who the spy is but I doubted myself and it turned out I was actually right all. The reveal was still surprising and that everything finally maked sense. I loved how everything is connected and that we get to see characters and couples from the Underworld series too! Also, I wasn't expecting was who the spy's parents are.
I wish we get to have Hedeon's book too. I think his story would be interesting to read and won't be rushed. I like to read how he fell in love too. I just wish that Hedeon get to finally meet his mother too.
The epilogue seems like it's the epilogue for the whole series though. But I'm still excited to read the last book of the series! Hopefully it won't disappoint because Sabrina Gallo is so hot please??

The Spy
Kingmakers
By: Sophie Lark
Narrated by: Antonio Turner, Avie Paige, Connor Brown
Sophie Lark gives us the conclusion to her incredible Kingmakers series with The Spy. This is the culmination of all the Easter eggs that have been dropped, flat out hints and suspense like no other of book of the series! This story features Aries and Nix's budding relationship and a sprinkling of Sabrina, all bringing their own parts to this stunning conclusion. Nix wanted to go to Kingmakers, and despite her father's warnings, she began her journey. Aries has been watching her, and while her family's reputation preceded her, Aries became her friend. Slowly their relationship evolved, and feelings grew. Or did they? Secrets, deceptions, and growing passion, this book holds a bit of everything. But it stands out from the others with it's unpredictable conclusions! Twists, turns, and so many surprises, Lark had me thinking and remembering little bits from the other books, as things slowly fell into place. It's an amazing ending to this series!
And the narration for this is impeccable. Antonio Turner is fantastic as Aries. He holds all the anger and emotions of a man who has been keeping it in for so long. You can hear it all in his performance. Avie Paige becomes Nix, creating a character that while a little naive, she has a strength and bravado while never letting go of her true feelings. And Connor Brown gives us the past, letting us learn what is the root cause of the problems, with a performance that should not be missed. This is a fantastic team of narrators and a wonderful listen.
