Another 3.5☆ for me here. This series is good, I love the writing style and I always appreciate a dual/multi POV but something is missing for me and I just can't quite put my finger on it. I liked these books, I enjoyed reading them but I just didnt *love* them, yaknow?
The toxicity of their relationship is not what bothered me, I love a toxic relationship and a morally grey MMC but for some reason, whilst I was rooting for them to make it, I didn't find myself wrapped up in their love story. I understand that Carter and Aria's story will continue on in the background of other works within this world but I would have liked an epilogue of sorts to eat least tie the ending of this series up?
Overall, this was a good series. It was well written, had enough plot to keep me interested and had some good spice in it.

This is the conclusion to Carter and Aria's story, though I'm sure they will be around in the other Cross brother books. This book perfectly brings everything in this series together. There were so many twists and turns I didn't see coming. I was kept in the edge of my seat through the whole book. This series will tug on your heartstrings! The Merciless series is one that should not be missed!! I am looking forward to reading about the next Cross brother!!!

For me, the series' fourth novel felt a little flat and dragged out. I occasionally became sidetracked and didn't felt as captivated to read.
When compared to books two and three in this series, the outcome is completely the reverse.
I'm not sure what changed for Carter because Aria had already been in danger and trying to flee. He appeared to have changed over night.
He deserves to be redeemed, in my opinion, but he needed to put more effort into earning forgiveness. The disregard with which he handled Aria and his refusal to ever consider her point of view, were nerve-wracking.
The way this novel ended made me a little sad, especially since I had been excited to read it after enjoying the other books in the series.
But I still really want to read the stories of Carter's brothers.

I’m really glad I finished it. I liked the idea of this story. I think I just had a really hard time with how insta love and Stockholm it was.

This book was everything, I mean I don’t cry easy but this book had me in tears! I felt the heartbreak for both Aria and Carter. The whole series has been truly amazing and I’m so in love with the Cross brothers how they stick together and understand each other without saying too much. Wow just wow Willow Winters you are amazing I loved this series from start to finish, you are an artist with your great mind and writing!
