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. What we did get is AMAZING though, and I almost feel like a jerk for begging for more, but yeah. I DO however wish we could have gotten just a DASH more of the Spy and Nix.

This book was just entertaining from start to finish and when I was done I still wanted more, because it was that good. 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. There’s so much action and excitement and I loved it. 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. 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. The story in this book has been building since probably the first book and we just didn’t know it yet. Sophie does a great job closing out everyone’s story, while also giving our Spy and his heroine, Nix, one hell of a story. I definitely ended this one shedding some bittersweet tears, because yes I already miss the Kingmaker crew. 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. ”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.”
