Mayhem is the exact right word for this book, as that's exactly how we start off, and then it just really doesn't stop. At all. And knowing that, we're going to keep this review short and sweet - mostly because there isn't a whole lot of character development with this series, and that's usually where my heart lies.

But I will say the twists and turns get very, very twisty and very, very turn-y. This book was a wild ride from beginning to end, and it definitely kept me on my toes. I never really saw any of it coming. I thought I'd figured out the pattern in the last book, but this one threw all of that completely out the window. I'm honestly still not entirely sure I understand how it all got resolved, but it did.

With one last book to this series, I have a feeling we're certainly going to go out with a massive bang. I'm not entirely sure I'm prepared for what's to come, but I know it certainly won't be boring.

Oh how I love these books! They never fail to make me burst out laughing, the narrator of the audiobooks is so freaking amazing!

And omg LELAND! It's only been maybe a week since I read The Former Assassin's Guide where he showed up but I've missed him. And Jackson, too. These two idiots are so much fun, and I don't know if Leland has become slightly less unhinged or if I've gotten more used to him but I felt this book really really worked for me. Him, Jackson, and the Fence are still my OT3 though 😂

And Cassel! My baby boy! With Jeremy who's a total simp for him (understandable) and poor Henry who secretly loves all the shenanigans Leland drags him along for.

The found family in this series is just excellent and I read this in just over a day because I didn't want to stop. Love these guys!
