Ok — so while I loved learning The Spy’s story, I loved the enemies to lovers and “touch her you die” vibes — there was not nearly as much stuff from Kingmakers in here. It was all about mafia stuff going on on the outside. This book showed me that I am not a mafia book girlie and that’s okay, but I won’t be reading the Brutal series or the other mafia romances from Sophie Lark. I really like her writing and it’s nothing against her story telling abilities but the mafia world isn’t my favorite. I wanted to read about teenagers being young and in love and petty drama and mafia classes and stuff — this one focused too much on The Spy’s revenge plan outside of Kingmakers. However, the clues in Books 1-3 leading up to the Spy’s reveal. 10/10. Honestly it’s a really well done series, it’s just not for me!
