Great ending to series!

I love this series!!! Tristan James does a fabulous job narrating. If this the end to the series, it's a great ending! So glad Miki got the answers we were all looking for! Thank you Rhys Ford for yet another amazing series!!

Great story. Great narration.

I had forgotten how much emotion was packed into this book until I decided to listen to the audiobook again. This book, like so many others by Rhys Ford, is about family. I enjoyed every page when I read it, and I enjoyed every word when I listened to it.

Love this series, wonderful finale!

Loved all the books and was so happy with this strong finish. A great tying together of all the threads of Miki’s life from throughout the books. Tristan James is fabulous as always. If you haven’t read (listened) to the rest of the books get on it, they won’t disappoint!

Love this combo

I think – for the most part – that Rhys is a wonderful writer but that you do have to want a certain type of drama to enjoy her stories. She excels at bringing us characters in pain and giving them some sort of resolution. In this series everybody has their back story filled with pain and some with anguish. We couple it with a current bout of violence and luckily the wall of Morgans are there to help keep the tide at bay. I think – though I’ve loved this series so much – that it has come to it’s natural conclusion and aside from some cute side stories - this is a needed/warranted ending.

As for the narration- Tristan James is amazing. He’s got this sexy as hell voice and he’s also pretty good at setting the mood for a story with his pacing and energy. For some reason, however, this time around, the voice he chose for Miki is a bit off from what he’d chosen before and it bugged me. Miki didn’t sound like himself – he sounded … softer? I don’t know – but it didn’t match previous narrations. It’s a small thing and definitely doesn’t detract from the rest of the story and all the lovely accents – but it did bug me a little.

In any case – fans of the series will be sad to see this one but love it at the same time. It’s not a standalone so don’t start with this one!

I'm sad to say goodbye

This series.... it's been a roller coaster beginning to end. There has been so many highs and lows, we've loved and lost, mostly loved though. No doubt about it, Sinners has been an amazing series and one I'm sad to see end. I read and reviewed the printed version of Sin and Tonic back in May and I couldn't wait for it to be relieased into audio so I could experience it once more.

Anyway, this book is in a way about closure and answers, but also a beginning and starting anew. Ever since the first book there we had questions that were never really answered and this book neatly ties it all together - not without some major and sometimes dangerous struggles and effort. We find out about Miki's family, where he came from and how he ended up where he did. But more than that we see him starting to truly letting it go, taking steps to truly getting better. To move forward with his life. His life with Kane. His life with and a part of the Morgan clan. I loved how he took steps towards that family.

It's not a secret that Tristan James isn't my favourite narrator, or even on my top 10 list. But on the other hand he narrates some of my favourite books, or the ones I'm most looking forward to. So sooner or later I will pick up more of his narrations, and I'm gladly going to listen to them. He's not a bad narrator by any stretch of the imagination, for me he ends up somewhere in the middle of the scale. I love his voice, there's something comforting and soothing about it. But on the other and, James most often narrates (reads) in a very monotone way that for me makes it easy to drift off to somewhere else. My personal preference is when narrator performs the book and lives the story and with the characters. However that's not James’s style and I know that there are a ton of people out there loving everything James say and will have a blast listening to this book and not have the hang-ups that I have.

One thing that never fails when Tristan James is narrating is the brilliant accents, especially the Irish ones. He nails them every time and it adds another layer, and makes the characters so much clearer in your mind. He manages to give each Morgan a separate voice with a great accent to boot. And while he might not add much feeling or performance to his narration he still brings you the warmth of the Morgan clan to you. You become a part of it - whether you want to or not. You are brought to the fold by Donal and mothered by Brigid. Even Dude, the dog, comes through so clearly. No doubt about it, Tristan James is a talented narrator and I've enjoyed the hours I spent listening to this story.

So I couldn't quite manage to keep things short and to the point. But... this book.. there's just so much to say, to talk about. And I might possibly try to stretch things out so I don't have to say goodbye to these characters, this family just yet. Spending time with them these past 6 books have been a privilege and an honour. I'm grateful for every moment of it.

A Bittersweet Goodbye with the Perfect End

I have loved this series since I started it. It is a favorite listen of mine as well. It was with a heavy heart I began this final part of the series. I know it is time to move on but I will miss this group. The story was as good a book as the rest of the series. We see all of the threads that had been left out there being wrapped up. Miki's past is revealed and we see the perfect end, well I hate to say end because these two you know will pop up somewhere again but goodbye for now, to Miki and Kane's love story. Also of significance is Miki going to therapy to help him at last deal with all he had been through and what he had going on through out the story line. Miki is changing but keeping his core true to the Miki we all know and love.

This author has done a tremendous job on this series and paired it with the perfect narrator for it. For me this completes another of her series that is a joy to read over and over and never regret hearing again. I look forward to more from the author and hope to keep getting peeks back to these men and the family to which they all belong.
