Just think of me as a canvas and you as the paint, and try and imagine that we are creating a masterpiece that's so beautiful, that no other piece of art could rival its beauty." - ClintOh boy! What a freaking conclusion to THE MOST suspenseful romance EVER! Yes, EVER!If you have been a fan of the series and read the first two books, Pieces of Lies (book 1) and Pieces of Truth (book 2) you know what a roller coaster this story has been. Not only is it a love square; yes three men and one woman but it also has secrets, TONS of secrets and an underground society that holds too much power.First, I highly recommend either re-reading or at least re-reading the epilogue at the end of Pieces of Truth (book 2) before starting All The Pieces. In fact the book picks up and dives back into the storyline."I know I had no right to do this to you, but if you ask me if I regret it, I will answer you no. if you ask me if I'd do it again, I'd say yes. I would do it again and again. There is darkness in me that lives and breathes just like yours, except it's motivated by love and not by pain." - JoshNorah and Josh are off in Europe getting ready to elope. Norah thinks her past, Sam and Clint are just that, just her past. Things seem perfect until Josh is kidnapped and the two men sent over by her father to help Norah get Josh back are Sam and Clint!! Yes, Sam and Clint are back and on a mission to help Josh and Norah! It's like the world has gone C-R-A-Z-Y!As Norah, Tess, Clint, and Sam are trying to find Josh the love square continues as all the men still have feelings for Norah and she has feelings for them as well. The entire time, I was still on Team Clint. He has been my favorite man out of three, even when I couldn't trust him, I knew deep down he and Norah were it for one another. At the same time, Sam was her first love, and Josh would (no, scratch that he DID) everything, even lie and cheat to get Norah. As much as I wanted Clint to be the guy, I wasn't sure if that was the right choice for Norah."I was going to marry you Josh. I picked you. I chose you. I came all the way here and did what I needed to get you back. And you just pushed me away. You pushed me to them." -NorahNorah is still feeling the pull from all three men while trying to rescue her fiancé. All three men really stepped up and showed their true colors at the end. All they wanted was what was right for Norah, even if that was letting her go. I admired them all."You want to know what the saddest part is Tess?" I said, sounding chocked up. "What's that Josh?" I felt heart constricting as the brutal truth flowed from my lips. "You say she's mine... but honestly, I don't think she was ever mine to begin with."The very best thing about the book is the multiple perspectives! The book is written in Norah, Josh, Tess, Sam, and Clint's point of view! I think it was essential to the story that we knew what all the characters were thinking. It truly made the book for me. For the first time in the entire series I felt like I knew all the characters and all the truths were laid out for me; no more hiding or lies. I also love that aside from the romance, there is a suspenseful story being told, even in book three of the series. The Lappell are still up to their old tricks, even to the very end they play a major role in the book. I absolutely loved even in the third and final book in the series I had no idea what was going to come next.The ending, oh man the ending! There is closure for all those involved. I felt like the ending- that goes into the future was one giant epilogue! I loved it. I can see some people not being totally happy, but I think considering what a love square this series was, the ending was perfect. I think over all fans will be very pleased, yet sad all at the same time.The Pieces of Lies series is a special series. It has everything I love in a book... a love triangle/square, lies, deception, secret societies, the mob, the rich, power, greed, and of course three amazing men who know how love a girl... that is for sure!I can't wait to read more from Angela Richardson in the future. I am so grateful she has shared her series with me to read and review. Such a wonderful and different story I hope others will read and love as well!I give All The Pieces (Pieces of Lies #3) 4.5 StarsARC provided by the author in return for an honest review.
