I've really enjoyed the whole series but unfortunately struggled with a few parts of this one.

When Fionn had to go away for nine months we didn't get any of his POV just letters which I felt was a missed opportunity.

This is such a fun series of books. Full of interesting characters and funny dialogue. My new favorite author! Barbara, Bentley, and Winston are my favorites <3

  This one is hard for me to rate. I'm going into a bit of a reading slump, as well as some depression. So I fell out of the mood to read it about halfway through and wasn't enjoying the book as much. I'm not sure if it was the book or me. This one didn't feel as spicy as the others after the first spicy scene. And the cotton candy thing was disgusting, I hated that scene TBH. 

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

   The narrators both did an amazing job, as always! I hope equally talented narrators are used for the new series.

The animal cruelty is a dog being stabbed by someone other than the MCs. The dog does NOT die!

Sometimes, the state of the world makes you feel a little stabby. Unfortunately, due to my conscience and a longing to avoid jail (as well as an embarrassing squeamishness), murder really isn't an appropriate option. Alas. Luckily for me, Rose and Fioann haven't got these qualms even remotely. They're quite happy to commit crimes. I salute them for it. As a member of the raccoon trash crew of disaster, like recognizes like. Go forth and be chaotic. I'll bring the popcorn.

I mean if you're reading about serial killers and don't expect a Dexter vibe with romance, are you okay?

This was a fun book, just like the other two in this series, but it was a little lacking for me when you compared it to the other two. A fun way to end this trilogy. 

Rose and Fionn's story was really fun and it was really interesting to read about Rose's job as a motorcycle circus performer because it's such a unique thing. This book definitely has the fun dark humor that you get in the previous two books but it's also much sweeter of a love story while still being very dark. 

I do really enjoy the fact that you get to see the couples from the previous two books and see how everything works out for all three couples. And it was nice that there were a couple bonus epilogues to really see how everyone is doing.
