"Bold Tricks" is the exhilarating conclusion of The Artist Trilogy by Karina Halle and this crazy wild ride continues as Ellie, Camden and Javier are on the run and forced to work together and rely on each other.The Artists Trilogy is adrenaline-fueled entertainment and in this final installment the action is off the charts and some of it takes place in the frenetic Mexico City and in a dangerous Honduran jungle. Full of twists and turns, surprises and revelations it's an intense, highly emotional and bold ending, with some scorching hot scenes and heartwarming moments and the usual sarcastic and so "F inappropriate" humor and brilliant writing.This is one of my favorite series, I love this story and it was great to see how these characters changed throughout this journey. We followed Camden's transition in 'Shooting Scars' and in this last installment we can see how power transformed Javier but in "Bold Tricks" we also observe Ellie's evolution."My real nature, my real self, wanted that person to believe in me, to see the good, ignore the bad, and make me feel like I had a future."We can easily identify "change" as a constant in The Artists Trilogy, it was part of Ellie's life as a con-artist and it's a different type of change that becomes her goal. In my opinion, what makes The Artists Trilogy original is that this story goes beyond the love triangle, something that is not so common in the contemporary romance sub-genre, this is Ellie's journey and her evolution."We all make our own paths in life. Everyone we meet, everything we do, it changes us. It makes us who we are. And, if we're lucky, we're given the chance to make things right again. - Sins & Needles"A story about friendship, love, redemption, transformation, perseverance, second chances and about fighting for those second chances.It's about Ellie, her turning point and how she makes things right again.Also on GoodReads: [...]and BookLikes: [...]
