Synopsis:
Bad Things Always Come In Threes…
As a thief, I'm good at three things: hiding in the shadows, getting in and out
unseen, and uncovering secrets. I put these skills to work for the Sinclair Family,
one of the magical mobs that run the tourist town of Cloudburst
Falls.
Everyone knows Victor Draconi wants to take over all the other Families--and kill
every last Sinclair. What they don't know is that I'm on to him, and no way will I let
the man who murdered my mom get away with hurting all the other people I care
about. Especially when I've got places to break into, stuff to steal, and Devon
Sinclair fighting right by my side…

Review:
I received this book from The Fantastic Flying Book Club for the book tour, all reviews and opinions are my own. If you would like to check out the rest of the blog tour click here for the official schedule.
I loved the ending to this it was nonstop action from the very beginning. Everything that was building up in the first two books finally gave way and everything started to come together. Of course one of my favorite characters is the Lochness monster, and we get to see a lot more of this creature in this book and learn a little more about it and why it isn't all bad.
Lila again is back to take names and kick some butt with the help of her friends as well. I like Lila a lot because she is so tough but she has issues just like everyone and deals with them the best way she knows how. The ending was awesome and I was left wondering what next I know this is the end of the Trilogy but I could definitely see more if ever needed. Maybe about when she is older.
Like I said the pace of the book is really fast I flew through it and couldn't put it down, which is good for a last book. Since some times it is hard for me to pick up the last book but this one kept me on the edge of my seat I had to finish it to see what happened. I also enjoyed that it wasn't all lovey dovey and was more about the story than the relationship though that was in there as well just not as much.
Favorite Quotes:
My stomach rumbled, reminding me that it had been a very long time since I'd eaten. "So... please tell me that they have some bacon in this joint."
Oscar laughed. "Now I know you're all right."
"You didn't think I would forget to pay the lochness toll, did you, Lila?" He smirked, seeing my disappointment. "Your mother taught me better than that."
