Overall Rating: 3⭐️

Format: kindle

Favourite Quote: “My atoms miss your voice.“

Tropes: dark mafia romance, all is not as it seems, multiple pov, found family, secret society 

Just a reminder, my three star reads mean I enjoyed this book. I had fun reading it. Would recommend if you like the tropes or author. For me it didn't hit the spot at the time.

If you know me, you know I rave about the dark verse series. It’s no secret that I love the first five books and I loved the storyline of the syndicater… however… it was a real shame and I did refresh my Kindle after the authors note that Amazon had uploaded the wrong version but the version after that also had lots of typos duplicated sentences words missing which was a real real shame because it was a great storyline. 

But let’s talk about the plot, I did already figure out the ending obviously I didn’t know if correct but I was which was okay. I think I would’ve liked more of a curveball. You kind of saw it coming. Everyone else had been eliminated. A few interesting changes and they did confuse me a little bit, but again, I think that’s because of the upload! 

Mr Shadowman though … wowwww the way he was the guardian the guardian?!?!!! he just has so many layers but nobody sees and he is just 110% my favourite and Lyla she was so strong and so badass and at the end I was like what the hell but obviously then a bit I knew about we figured out happened and I was like okay fair enough. I wouldn’t say it was as twisty as the others in the series but it did put a lot to bed.

I would have liked more of Zephyr and Alpha maybe for a bit of his memory to come back but hopefully this will come in the novella I think I would cry at his pov of the memories and them as kids that would just be amazinggggg.

Lex was an interesting twist I didn’t fully understand his part in the story and Xanders age was confusing me through out but they were cute, Tristan and Morana where fireeeeee her accent though was a shame but I loved seeing the softer side to Tristan. Shame he didn’t say ILY that would have been sweet I was expecting it at the wedding but he didn’t?

Dante and Amara always pulling everyone together love them and Tempest was sooooo cuteeee shame about Vin might have been nice for a omg moment for him and the girl but they weren’t kind of 86ed off the storyline…

It was definitely a great book to tie everything up. I think that’s what I felt. The most. There wasn’t a lot of surprise. It was a lot of finalising which I really appreciate because it was nice to know where everything went and who did what and where and see the couples in happy ever after, moment! And I love love loved the multiple povs I would have liked them longer but that’s just my love for the characters and couples I guess ahha.

The typos and sentencing issues did affect the way the storyline came across. It meant at times I was trying to figure out what they meant rather than being amerced fully into the story.
