I think the guys having their own POV for each book was a good concept in theory but turned out to be not so great. We were missing out on important character development. Instead of seeing how they each took to Addy, we were just thrown into a new character's headspace at different stages of their rs. This last book especially felt a little tedious since it was so action filled and that's not really what I signed up for with RH. It has to be like a good 60/40 rs to plot/storyline. At least for me. I want to see the progress of their relationship goddamn it

I had to take a few days before writing my actual review. I also peeked other's reviews to make sure I was not the odd man out.
The overall story line, the organized crime, the ledger, and the Merchants individual hardships was good. I really liked the diversity, the creativity, the raw power and shocking kills.
At first I didn't love Addy until her true nature and intentions were unveiled. Once she stopped pretending I thought she was bad ass. Gia for me went from bad ass to annoying. However in this book they both were just acting out of character and making dumb ass decisions.
Addy wtf. Your mom is trash, it was a struggle to read their bullshit. I feel like the author knew that this the mom storyline was garbage and tried to rationalize it but it was just a waste of space.
Mercer's story is still a mystery. I would have rather had a 5th book than for him to be short changed the way he was. The ending was rushed, exhausting, and unbelievable. I felt like it was cartoonish and visions of Batman's Gotham took over while reading. It was beyond ridiculous.
I was not satisfied with the ending to the series. With that said it's still a good series and I am glad there is a spin off, hopefully that will help fill in some of the missing pieces.

Even though I’m pissed I couldn’t love Mercer as I should’ve because I spent the whole time finding him sketchy, I found the plot, subplots, backstories, character personalities great, as expected from Ruby Vincent. First time to read RH where a guy is focused in each book and I surprisingly liked it.

Well holy crap. If anyone thought this was how the book and this series ended you would not be surprised by it, but the road getting there was full of "what the actual F*UCK!" this book was a slower read for me because I didn't like the feeling of Mercer/Jasper being deceitful. But the last half of the book was a quick read, it went from plotting and confusion to a full on war in a matter of seconds. This book brings insight into why Mercer never fully pursued Adeline and I have to say I agree with him. He may be a liar but he never lied about how much he cared for Adeline. Overall I say this was the ending everyone wanted but I can honestly say I was surprised on how they got there.
