Now THAT is how you write a series finale, my friends!!! Sophie Lark gave me absolutely everything I wanted! The Spy is exciting, mysterious, intriguing, suspenseful, and action packed! It's full of love of all kinds, heartbreak, longing, passion, and romance! The friendship and family built over the course of the series between the characters is front and center and one of the most beautiful parts of the story to me. I never wanted it to end!
The spy is a character that I've been wondering about since I read The Heir, and I'm so glad we finally got his story. It was completely different from what I thought it was going to be in the best possible way! I loved his dynamic with the heroine, and the forbidden aspect of their relationship. It's always better when it's not allowed, am I right?! Other than that, I don't want to say much about the characters. I went into the story with very little information, and that's the best way to experience it IMO.
If you've read the previous books in the series, you know they all contain three POVs, the main couple and a third person that gets to take center stage in a subsequent novel. Because this is the finale, I assumed that would change, but it didn't! The third person's chapters in this one is done in a completely different way though, and it's actually one of my favorite uses of the third point of view in the series.
Aside from the hero and heroine's personal and joint storylines, The Spy was the final chapter of this incredible series that I've been obsessed with since the first book landed on my Kindle. Sophie Lark wrapped up everything beautifully. The way she wrote the epilogue was absolute perfection! She's just a brilliant storyteller, and I truly could not have asked for more!

“I want you,” I say to her. “I want your wildness. I want your passion. I want you to love me the way you love the wind and the water and the outdoors. I want you to be untamable, except by me. I want you to be my wife.”Highlighted by 1,432 Kindle readers- “Our fathers shape us,” Sloane said, zipping her case. “But it’s our husbands who determine what we truly become. And us them.

About the author
”There are crossroads in life where you can either choose the cold truth you see in front of you,…
…or you can choose to chase the impossible dream.”Wow. Just, wow. Sophie not only gave us an exciting, heart wrenching, and passionate story with The Spy, but she wrapped up the Kingmaker’s series with a neat little bow. I definitely ended this one shedding some bittersweet tears, because yes I already miss the Kingmaker crew. Sophie does a great job closing out everyone’s story, while also giving our Spy and his heroine, Nix, one heck of a story.Here’s the thing about The Spy. The story in this book has been building since probably the first book and we just didn’t know it yet. In The Bully we get The Spy’s POV as a third POV, so we are teased and teased, and now FINALLY we get to know what the heck was going on! So many ah-ha moments in this book. I will warn, that the love story between the Spy and Nix definitely takes a bit of back seat to what the Spy’s overall mission is and all that ensues because of that mission.There’s so much action and excitement and I loved it. I can’t say TOO much about what all goes down because it will spoil it for the reader, but what we are given is what makes this story a 5 star read for me. This book was just entertaining from start to finish and when I was done I still wanted more, because it was that good. I DO however wish we could have gotten just a DASH more of the Spy and Nix. What we did get is AMAZING though, and I almost feel like a jerk for begging for more, but yeah. I fully recognize that this was probably an incredibly difficult book to write because it truly provides us with so many things: a new and unexpected (for the characters) love story, closure for a big group of well loved characters AND side characters, the finale to a four book series, AND so many questions are answered that have been building about the Spy’s story since the very first book. So even though I’m mentioning that I wanted more SpyNix content, I’m also saying that the story stands without it as a 5, because Sophie totally put in the work to make this one amazing.This book just contains SO much, and it was incredibly entertaining. I loved this series and while I’m sad that it’s over, I absolutely CAN NOT wait to see what Sophie gives us next.For now I’ll be reading her back catalog, starting with Ivan 😚🎶
