Bold Tricks is the third and final book in The Artists Trilogy by author Karina Halle. The trilogy includes the following novels:#0.5 On Every Street (novella)#1 Sins & Needles#2 Shooting Scars#3 Bold TricksThis was a great ending to the trilogy! I am so happy I stumbled upon Sins & Needles and as soon as I read that first book I was hooked. In my opinion, this is a five-star trilogy. I would highly recommend reading the novella so you can get an understanding of Ellie and Javier's history together. The author layers these characters and gives them such a hopeful kind of darkness if that makes sense. Often I was upset with the choices made by the characters in this trilogy but I understood them because of the skillful character development. I wish I could read these books all over again for the first time. I love tons of butt-kicking action in stories and Bold Tricks had more than enough to offer! (view spoiler)My favorite funny/sarcastic quotes:"Tell me, angel, what is it about that boy that make you forget who you really are? Is it the tattoos, because you know I have those....Or is it those horrible glasses of his. You know, I can look like a f***ing idiot if I really wanted to.""'You're a sick f***,' Camden seethed at him. 'You're going to have to start coming up with more original insults. I believe you've already called me that before.'""It wasn't long until we came to a very high, very round building done up in pinks, oranges and blues. 'It's like the coliseum on Gay Pride Day.' Camden commented. 'You would know,' Javier sniped.""'I can feel how nervous you are, angel,' he said. 'It's coming right off you, like sweat.' 'Can you feel this?' I stuck up my middle finger at him. He only looked amused at that. Great.""We went around the corner to a room that said something in Spanish and Javier lightly knocked on it. A very distictive knock. Code. Funny how cartels had the same knock as those No Girls Allowed clubs back when I was in middle school."
