If you’re a package deal, then I’ll learn to love them too.

What a fantastic ending to an incredible series. I couldn't put this book down - I had to know how it all ended and I was ready for every crazy moment of this ride!! Bliss and her men are AMAZING and this book is full of suspense, action, violence, sex and jaw-dropping moments!! Sooooooo good!! When is Rebel's book coming out?!

as far as tying up loose ends go, it was really my saving grace for continuing this book after Bliss got pregnant or really, after pregnancy talk happened in general. this book was really chaotic (in a good way for the most part), but there was a LOT going on. i feel like certain issues could've been closed out before the final installment came so that there wasn't a whirlwind of things to focus on at the end of the series. dealing with Caleb shouldn't have been dragged out. PERSONALLY i feel like making him form a relationship with Rebel was unnecessary because they could've killed him off when they rescued Vincent. another thing i feel was unnecessary was the amount of povs in this book. it's already a lot plot-wise to focus on the povs of the four/five main characters, but adding in Caleb, Siren, Rebel and whoever else? it was just too much.

i also felt like certain resolutions to problems that have carried out through three books weren't resolved in a way that was satisfying to me. like Bliss finding out about Nichelle, Axel and her dad. it just seemed really erratic and all over the place for the emotional weight of Bliss finding all this out. it was like it was out in seconds and if the book were naturally fast paced it would've been fine, but i feel like it was more medium paced and this emotionally heavy, hectic scene was too much too fast and it wasn't paced properly.

my saving grace for reading this story was really wanting answers. i wanted to see what happened to Fancy. i wanted to see what happened with Psychos. i wanted to see what happened with War's MC. i wanted to find out what happened with a lot of things. there were just a lot of things that ended abruptly after being carried over through three books. and these issues were something that were HEAVY and i just didn't like the way they were "resolved."

i wish i liked this closer as much as i liked every other book in the series, but it really disappointed me on what i was expecting for the way things should've wrapped up.





THOUGHTS WHILE READING!!
⇢ ANOTHER CALEB POV? I’M SICK OF THE JUMP-SCARES IDC WHAT THAT LOSER HAS TO SAY

⇢ it’s SEEMING LIKE Siren tampered with Army and Fancy’s car to fuck with the brakes (her being good with mechanical stuff was foreshadowed earlier) so they’d die and she’d have War sooner rather than later and i’m betting the idea wasn’t hers, it was Gus. I KNEW I COULDN’T TRUST HIS ASS, but nothing’s been confirmed yet so i’ll wait this out—i still don’t FUCK WITH THESE SNAKES

It Ends With Violence by Elle Thorpe is a why choose romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Gregory Salinas and Michelle Price. This is the third book in the Saint View Psychos trilogy.

I love Elle's books! She does an amazing job pulling me in from the very beginning and I can't help but binge her books in one sitting. I am loving the chemistry between Bliss, Nash, Scythe, and War. I really liked that we got we Vincent, Bliss, Nash, War, Scythe, Rebel, Siren, Gus and Caleb's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next series Saint View Rebels to be released on August 31, 2023, so we can get Rebel's story. 

Gregory and Michelle did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you like why choose romances, dark romances, or romantic suspense.

I was really looking forward to the conclusion of the series and while it wasn't as action packed as I expected it didn't disappoint. I loved how the romance was wrapped up beautifully. 
I really enjoyed this book but it still left me wanting more with the epilogue at the end... I thankfully know that there is another series of Saint View and I'm excited to start reading it.

Great ending

Like all of the Saint View stories there is action, mystery, and steam. Axel's killer is found, but its not who you are expecting! I'm so glad the group gets their happy ending. Vincent/Scythe has to be my favorite character from the all of the series.!
