The best in the series and a wonderful hat to top off the Knockemout trio!

Lucian and Sloane make compelling grumpy-sunshine leads and their romance is steamy and teasing. The drama and mystery at the end really was just a cherry on top of the whole book sundae!

I'll miss this world but believe that Lucy wrapped it up beautifully with her epilogues!

This book will show how hard is to break the circle of abuse. And how sometimes things can get complicated. And how grief is so hard. How can completely change the way we look at the world. And how two broken people either will collect them fully together or will completely destroyed more. This I think the best on from the entired series. And even some of the things I did not like like the sorry of women being in jail. But tat not change my opinion how much I like Sloan and Lucifer together. Great book.

I can't explain how much I adore this book. It had me feeling emotions that I haven't felt whilst reading for a long time.

Lucian and Sloane's story filled with bickering and hating each other so much that you love them. It scratched a spot in me I didn't know I had. Their chemistry was INSANE. It was so entertaining to read about their past and to figure out smalls bits about what they actually meant to each other. The whole thing was great. One of my favourite book couples of all time.

The plotline and the sudden plot twists in this book had me hooked the entire time. I ended up dreaming about the plot! So many loose ends from the other two books got tied up into a neat little bow. It was really well executed. 

This was the perfect ending to this series and I would recommend it to anyone!

The last 200 pages are what saved it, the beginning was too slow for my tastes
