The first word that came to mind when I turned the last page: EXCEPTIONAL.Once again, Shay shoves you right into the story – I absolutely love that! No beating around the bush, no pussy footing around, she gets right down to business…… and why not? – we are talking about the mafia after all, so it only seems fitting.Evan’s in a race against time and himself. He’s been through hell, but he’s still clawing his way back. Evan comes face to face with the one thing he never thought he would ever need…… someone else. But that’s exactly where he finds himself. Evan doesn’t just want Lia, he needs her. She’s his calm, his savior, his everything. There is no way he’s letting go of her this time. But what happens when the secret life Evan leads introduces itself to Lia? Will she run? Needless to say, what happens is nothing short of breathtaking.The entire series is the epitome of page-turner! It is erotic, intense, riveting, and emotional. It’s action packed from beginning to end with twists and turns you won’t see coming. There’s no sugar coating here; it’s raw, honest, and real.Anyone can write a great story, but not everyone can create characters that are so vivid and real that you forget you are reading a book and not living in it. Shay Savage has a remarkable gift of pulling the reader into the story in a way that is unimaginable unless you have experienced it for yourself. She says her stories have teeth. I think it’s more like fangs, claws, spikes – anything that can grab you and drag you along for the ride and keep you captive until the bitter end.It’s a sign of a BRILLIANT and PHENOMENAL writer when you feel every single moment of a story. I could feel the darkness, angst, and torment in Evan’s mind with every word I read. I have never been so fascinated with a character. Inside the mind of Evan Arden is a complex and twisted place to be, but it’s one of the most interesting places you will ever explore. You will see Evan for who he is and not what he is…….. a killer.You will never read another book/series like this ever! The ability to do what Shay Savage has done with the Evan Arden trilogy is rare, and it’s truly a gift to readers. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this series! Be forewarned this does not have puppies and rainbows. The Evan Arden Trilogy is RAW, DARK, GRITTY, and KILLER!I love how Shay closed out the series. It is clever how the story came full circle (read the Epilogue and you will see what I mean). It feels complete, and I’m not the least bit disappointed it’s over. Thank you, Shay Savage, for one of the most intelligent and gripping series I have ever read!!
