MY REVIEW

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you’re anything like me, you couldn’t wait for the conclusion to this series to reach your hands. After the devastating cliffhanger at the end of Bad Deeds, I was beyond excited to see where the author was going to lead us.

End Game starts right where Bad Deeds left off. There are two bodies laying on the floor, lots of blood, and Shane is wondering how much more collateral damage is in store because of Adrian and his cartel because of Derek’s ignorance and his pursuit of who knows what.

I can’t even reveal much more than that of the plot without giving the whole thing away. Just know that for much of the book, Shane is working his sexy butt off distancing himself and his family from the cartel and keeping Emily safe from her elusive brother’s activities.

So I still loved Shane. Although this story turned sappy for the most part with the many lists of the reasons why he loves Emily, it was the sweet amongst the sadness that got me through. This last book was a journey through pain and discovery. Shane really got to test his limits and figure out how far he was willing to go to protect the people he loved.

LRJ has plenty of books planned for the new year - a new series and all - and I’m planning to read each and every one of them. Until then…
