Ratings and reviews

Picking up where Bad Deeds (book 3) left off, the story quickly brings action and tension to the forefront. Even with the quick recap from Jones, you truly cannot read this book and understand the characters or their motivations if you haven’t read earlier titles in the series. And for those who have read them – be warned – this is grab you by the throat tension filled moments that mix with answers, heartbreak, sprinkles of potential happiness and a need to turn each page faster and faster as the story moves on to its conclusion. Told in two parts with different points of view coming forward to share the story: Shane’s part gives us his own frustration, mastery and adaptability as the mind games and manipulations bring danger, disgrace and conflict to his door. While he wants to keep Brandon Enterprises on the straight and narrow, and his sibling rivalry with his brother is starting to settle, his father’s manipulations and the illicit drug deals and trades are weighing on him. And then there is Emily – a perfect match for him even with her own secrets and the dangers she faces –there’s seemingly an endless twisty maze for him to navigate to get any resolution – and that won’t come without some serious disillusionment and disappointment as more secrets and bad deeds are uncovered. Emily is so totally in love with Shane – but her secrets and the dangers those produce, including her being a target for those who wish to manipulate Shane’s actions by using her as a pawn become even more relevant here. There are answers to be had, but at what price? With the stalwart and always in his corner (and hers) Jessica, a potentially lifesaving treatment option that could be derailed with each choice that Shane makes and some seriously emotionally laden revelations and discoveries that Shane faces in nearly every new twist, the story has so much going on with answers, new questions, more revelations and more answers right until the end. A solid conclusion for a series that brought up many questions, situations and plenty of steam along the journey. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

The first thing you need to know about this book is don't read it until you have read the first three books in Shane and Emily's story. In this dramatic conclusion everything Shane and Emily have been working for will get resolved. Be prepared for some surprises along the way but if you are a fan of the series you definitely don't want to miss this one! I'm looking forward to more stories involving some of the secondary characters that will be coming. Now is the time to catch up. I highly recommend you do.

This book picks up right where Bad Deeds ended. After the gun goes off, chaos erupts. Shane feels like his life is imploding. Afterwards, Shane has to deal with the darkness that is consuming him. He wants revenge in a big way and he wants to fight for Emily and Derek. Shane is tired of all the bad in his life and has decided he is going to remove it all one way or another. There are many twists and turns in the final book in the Dirty Money series, but it sure makes for an awesome read. I could not put this book down because I needed to see how everything was going to play out and I was not disappointed. It is real difficult to try and write this review without giving away some major plot points, but all I can say is read this entire series, in order. You will NOT be disappointed.
