i knew i’d have fun with this but i wasn’t expecting to CRY. i was genuinely moved!! now, it’s not perfect - there are some plot holes. ha! but seriously this was a super solid read. weird and gorey and it’s got a bit of an x files vibe at times, which rules.

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

How is this the last book in a series that started off with such promise? I just…I feel very sad that this is how the series ended when I know Katee can write much better than this.

I loved this one. I loved the Private Eye vibes with all the mysteries and sleuthing. I loved Oliver and Jack. Their chemistry and banter to the point of aggressive flirty arguing was dynamite.

I loved Jack being so normal and easily accommodating to Oliver's disability while also giving him shit for not taking care of himself trying to pretend he's just fine all the time.

I loved Oliver seeing beyond his societal prejudices to how limiting the rule of law and society is for most who exist in it beyond the elite even from his minor but very safe place in it.

These two fighting, fucking and snipping at each other while trying to solve all the blackmail and such was great times.

My favorite was when Jack was stomping through the village so mad at the beautiful countryside and picturesque sheep because Oliver hurt his feelings. That's my man.

the thinly veiled Paul Hollywood fanfic that nobody asked for. i’ll never watch GBBO the same way again.

😭😭😭

this was fine, i guess. i liked Lola the virgin showgirl and whatshisface the virgin hockey bad boy and the smut was smutting for sure. but the evil Vegas boss plotline seemed unnecessary for a story that was only 56 pages. 🤷‍♀️
