Wish the series wasn't ending but since it is I'm glad it ended this way! A very exciting read with lots of information about our heroine's past and an idea of her future.
I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, but Wild Justice was even better. It was the perfect ending to the series and while the previous two books where good, this one was even better. Even though I bought all 3 books in this series before reading book 1, I still had my doubts that I wouldn't like it, but on the other hand I believed I would because it's written by Kelley Armstrong. I hadn't expect to like it as much as I did. The Nadia Stafford series is easily just as good as Kelley her other series and I am sad to see it end.
Wild Justice starts off fast paced and it doesn't stop, it just keeps going. Wild Justice is full off action, romance and emotions. This case is a lot more personal and emotional then the cases in the previous books and there is quite some attention for what happened with Amy twenty years ago. I felt so bad for both Nadia and Amy and for what they had to go trough and it was good to finally see her dealing with it a bit. I really couldn't put this book down and I don't think I ever put it down beside when nessecary because I had to sleep or eat. It's so good and I had to know what would happen next and how it would end.
Nadia is such a great character and this book it get's even more personal for her. It was an emotional book and I really felt for her and what she went through. Luckily she had other people to help her out, Jack, Quinn and Evelyn are all there. And while I didn't like Evelyn after what she did in the last book, in this book there is this phone call with Nadia and she says some thing that really redeemed her in my opinion. On the other hand I wish they didn't need Quinn. While he is a nice guy, I felt like he was just in the way and making soem things complicated, although it was obvious they needed him. I liked the cast of side characters and I especially liked Jack, he has all these charactestics that make him so unique and different. There are some great scenes with him in it and I just had to laugh a few times at his characteristicly short sentences.
Also the romance is upped a bit in this book. And it's both frustrating and done so well. I loved how it was handled and I was happy with how it all wrapped up. And it was certainly worth the wait, Jack and Nadia are awesome together and I liked seeing them finally together. Although there where a few moments where I almost started to doubt they would get together in time for us still to enjoy that. Kelley Armstrong knows how to write a good slow building romance, even in a book like this where the focus isn't on the romance.
To conclude: Wilde Justice is a great conclusion to this series. I loved it! This books is a fast paced, emotional and action filled book. The romanced angle is upped a bit in this book and I couldn't be more happy with how it all played out. This book was awesome and at the same time I am sad it's over. I really liked these characters and would love to see more from them.

I thought this was a good ending to a good series. In this final book we see Nadia dealing with her troubled past while trying to find out way someone has put a hit out on her.
What I appreciate about the Nadia Stafford books is that they well written, an exciting plot, with some romance thrown in. What I like most is that the romance has always been a subplot and not the main focus. She will still think about wanting to hook up but she doesn't do it constantly and there are not gratuitous descriptions of how good looking anyone is. It's refreshing to have a female character that doesn't act like a love sick teenager pinning after a guy, instead she is focusing on finding the person who wants her dead.
my one complaint which was more of an annoyance was the way Jack's dialog was written. He talks the majority of the time is stunted often two or three words sentences. I realize this is cause is he a man of few words which is fine but when he spoke for more then a few sentences it got annoying.
Jack dipped his chin in a nod. "It is there. Not going away. Giving you Nightmares."
It was been a year or two since I read the last two but I don't remember it bothering me before. Maybe in those books he just talked less.

This was so good. By far the best of the series. Full of plot twists, and some great character development that I felt was missing in the first two. Worth reading the series just for this!
Well, the plot didn't go how I expected it to, but on reflection, that would have made it a boring story. What it was though, was very good.
Particularly towards the end, it got quite complicated with preconceptions of the various characters being changed, but it was by no means incomprehensible.
My biggest problem with it is that it doesn't match the other books I have in the trilogy in size. Very annoying. But nothing to do with the text!

Even though this book took me about ten years to read it was worth it! A solid ending to this trilogy and some nice plot twists that I didn't expect!
Probably the best in the series. We got some of the usual mystery/hitman plot but with a little romance splashed in. It was also nice to get to know the characters more and I actually really enjoyed how this one ended. Almost like a happily ever after. Or as best as we could get in this case.
The series itself was great. Not her best but still well worth the read.

It had been a while since I read a Nadia Stafford, but I wasn't expecting it to have such a dark topic. I also didn't remember the characters too well, so I wasn't that invested in what went on amongst them. I liked the twists and turns of the story.
