I am a big fan of Alix E. Harrow! I have loved the author’s last three books! Granted, this is a novella, but it still counts. Since this is a novella, I’m keeping this short and sweet. All you really need to know is that you need to read this!

I think Harrow did an amazing job getting her points across with a short amount of pages. From the very beginning, I was into it. It’s a love story and how love endures. It’s also heartbreaking when everything comes to light. Harrow blends different periods flawlessly. I thought we were in medieval times with the knight and nods to an apocalyptic future. It’s thought-provoking, which I was not expecting! I thought this would be a cute little fantasy story, but it’s so much more than that.

I highly recommend this little novella! It has a lot to offer and think about. I am such a fan of Harrow’s work and can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!!

I have immensely enjoyed the Finlay Donovan series—this one is my favorite by far! This series is not for anyone looking for realistic life events. It is fun, chaotic, and full of dramatic moments. I have enjoyed getting to see some of my favorite characters!

It's always hard to review sequels because you don't want to give away any spoilers. I am a spoiler-free blog, so this will be a shorter review. We pick up with a new murder mystery, and Finlay's circle is in the spotlight. Five books later, we learn so much more about the cranky neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty. I always knew that there was more to her than met the eye. I loved getting to know her and how she delved into Finlay's life.

We get a lot of movement in character arcs in this book. I adored Finlay and Nick's relationship growth. Nick is great for her, and I love that she's finally realizing it. I even felt bad for Steven- only a little- in this book. Haha. We see Finlay's kids growing up and having more of a voice. I'm team Delia, by the way! Also, I'm obsessed with Cam. These books are naturally hilarious, but Cam adds so much! I love how he's this genius hacker but also just a kid!

I loved this book so much! It ended with a cliffhanger, which I have been waiting for for so long! I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment. There is no chance that Finlay will ever have a boring life. Even if things are unrealistic, it feels so relaxing and fun to read these books! I highly recommend them if you want a crazy and fast-paced read!

I had no idea we were getting this book because I thought book one was a standalone. I am beyond excited that Raybourn gave us another book with these women assassins!

I flew through this book so fast. I could not put it down because there was so much action. We pick up about a year after book one. Billie is restless, and so it was perfect timing! I loved seeing where everyone is in life after the events of book one. There is a lot of travel with them being chased and doing the chasing. I didn’t mind it at all because it was so fast-paced. There is so much action that it does keep you on the end of your seat. One of my favorite things about this story was the look into the past. We get some chapters throughout this book that are of a deal from the past. It was nice seeing how these women never really changed their ways. Haha.

Do I think that many 60-something-year-olds could do a lot of the things they do and live? I’m doubtful, but it does not take anything from the story. I would love to think they are out there kicking butt and taking names! It’s so entertaining along the way because the mixture of these four women is such perfection! There’s so much humor and many laugh-out-loud moments. There are several moments of sadness and reflection. Raybourn has added so much depth to these women that it’s hard not to love them.

If you loved the first book then you will love this one too! It’s such a great thriller with a lot of heart too. I don’t know if this is the last book with these women, but I hope not. I have enjoyed their banter, friendships, and found family they have created.
