I'm glad to see that the Nadia Stafford books got a proper ending. I only wished this book was paced a little bit faster. I was riveted until about 60% of the way through when I started to get a little confused on the plot. Then I just started to not care at all about them catching the villain.
I believe that this book really could be read as a standalone (although I always recommend reading the other books before), because it had been a while since I read the other books in this series and I had no problem following along; not once did I need to refer to the previous books to understand what was going on. So kudos to Armstrong for that :)
I don't remember Jack talking as stiltedly in the other books, maybe it's just been a while. With the way his character talked, it reminded me a bit of the male interests in all of the Kristen Ashley novels. Despite his stilted talk, the dialogue between Nadia and Jack were probably my favorite part about this book. Whether it was figuring things out, a friendly conversation, or more, the character chemistry between the two of them was awesome.
We all saw it coming, but I am ridiculously glad that Nadia and Jack ended up together! It was really sweet and everything that the fans of the two of them could want.
Anyways, if you need a break from reality and want to read an engaging book with a flawed but awesome female character, this is the book for you!

Definitely my favourite of the Nadia Stafford series. I've had this book on my to read shelf for quite a while but because the other books were just okay I wasn't running to finish series. I came across this book in my to-read pile and it spoke to me. So I picked it up and I'm glad I did!
In this novel we finally get to what has been building across the other two novels. This novel is all about what happened to her and her cousin when they were younger. It is about finding vengeance for Amy. But it is also for Nadia. She is facing her demons in this novel, and we watch as she works through that. We also get to learn more information about Jack, the elusive figure no more.
There were plenty of twists and turns in this novel. There was nothing that made me go "Wait - hold the phone. WTF just happened" but a couple of them did make me go "huh, interesting". I thought that Armstrong did a great job of ending the series and giving these characters the ending that they deserved.
All in all, this was an enjoyable novel. I definitely liked it the best out of the 3 novels.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite books. Like of all times.
This was fantastic. Such a great conclusion to the series. Everything I wanted to read and more.
The author made some really complex characters and some really intricate situations. I loved reading it and if you've come this far in the series, you have to finish it.

This was among my top five or six most anticipated books of the year, and it was worth the wait.
I enjoyed the first two books, and this was a fitting conclusion - with the added bonus that for a change, my ship, having been in a state of will-they-or-won't-they for the first two books, actually became canon. It's a shockingly nice feeling. :D
.. not that the book's all about romance; far from it. We learn a whole lot more about Nadia's past and what really happened on that disturbing day twenty years before when her cousin was murdered. There were plenty of twists and turns, with things not nearly as simple and straightforward as they seemed at first, but we do get closure, and I felt it was, all in all, pretty satisfying.

I'm sorry to see this trilogy end. I really enjoyed the first two novels. This one was alright, too, but the story felt somewhat formulaic to me. I liked how Armstrong ended it, though, by dealing with the events from Nadia's youth. The rape and murder we were originally told about was terrible enough the way it was, but (without wanting to sound morbid or perverse)it was kind of interesting how that episode was expanded upon and had a few twists we weren't originally expecting.
One other thing that bothered me was that I found the relationship between Nadia and Jack beginning to parallel that of Elena and Clay from her Otherworld series. They didn't really seem all that different. That being said, I'm glad these two finally end up together.

The conclusion to this thriller series about a female killer for hire has her solving the attack on herself as a child and murder of her cousin. It turns out that things are not quite how she remembers them from the attack and things turn interesting when hired killers start coming after her. A good solid ending to the book and I'm not left wondering at the end about now what.
A very satisfying conclusion to the Nadia Stafford trilogy as secrets are revealed, relationships are clarified, and healing begins for the ex-cop turned assassin. I've enjoyed these books very much and was pleased friends recommended them to me.
The third and final installment in the Nadia Stafford trilogy, Wild Justice looks back on the murder of her cousin Amy. A really enjoyable read, I was glad to see Nadia and Jack finally get together. I didn't see all the twists coming and loved every second of the book. Ugh, I just really love Kelley Armstrong, guys.
