Spoiler alert.
This review will reveal who The Spy is.
Stop here if you don’t want such a spoiler.
I’m spoiling everything for the people that are like me and can’t handle the suspense and need to know everything before reading.

I’ve waited three long years for this…
Hiding. Lying. Spying.
Waiting like a spider for her to wander into my web…
Now she’s here, and I have to get even closer to her. I’ll help her. Befriend her. Seduce her, even.
The only thing I can’t do is fall in love with her.
Her father took everything from me: my money, my family, my life.
He has to pay for what he’s done. And she’s the only thing that can hurt him…

How the hell is there a 5th book after that ending? Everything was practically wrapped up with a bow, so I'm confused on how there is a book 5. I'm trash, so I'll still read it though.
The Spy tied the Kingmaker's series together perfectly, unraveling the mysteries from previous books and tying together the loose ends from other characters' stories. Where this book shined wasn't the romance, but the action, family dynamics, and secrets uncovered. So, while there is a romance and it is supposed to be a large focus of the book, that was the least impressive part of it for me.
The romance felt very stale, and I wasn't feeling these characters' connection with each other. There were moments that were cute, but I never felt the fire between them like Cat and Dean or Leo and Anna. They were the most forgettable couple to me, and this could partially be because the emergence of a certain couple that I love being a large focus of this story.
However, the action? The ending? All were perfectly executed! It was just the romance that couldn't allow me to give this 5 stars.

I love this series so much, of course, I wanted to find out who the spy was, and it was better than I expected. The Spy and Nix's story is amazing, sweet, and yet unique. This end to the wonderful and amazing series was perfect. You need to read them all and in order to have the whole experience!

I loved this one so much! Absolutely loved Rafe and Nix and I loved seeing the characters from the Underworld series back in this and seeing their POV’s
I also loved the epilogues of each character, and I would’ve been very happy with the series ending

Maybe I read this too fast to comprehend it, but I felt like I wanted more before the couple forgave each other.

This is tough to rate. At points of this book I was convinced this book was absolutely terrible. The main couples relationship was hardly developed. It was like he went from i hate you to I love you so fast and it made no sense. I will never get over the breastfeeding scene. I wish I could erase it from my brain. Just why Sophie, why. Then the most cringe worthy line that also ruined Miko and Nessas book was used again. Not once, but twiceee. I actually felt ill.
The side plot though? Phenomenal. The side characters? Fantastic. That is what saved this book. I could not care less about nix and Rafe, but everyone else was great. And the little epilogues in the last chapter was the best.
