THE REVIEW FOR THE BOOK: PAS DE TROIS.



GENRE: DARK ROMANCE.
AUTHOR: BRYNN FORD.
TYPE:BOOK #3 OF THE FOUR FAMILIES SERIES.
POV: FIRST PERSON: DUAL PROSPECTIVE.
MY RATING: 5+++++ " DANCING IN THE MOON LIGHT" STARS.

So I just finished this book and I am...*staring into space*...
I have no words to describe how much I enjoyed this trilogy...
There was love, passion, danger, and serious triggers in this book...
Since completing book 1...I was feeling, poor Anya...she can't be in the worst situation and I was proven wrong again and again.

The books seem to be getting a shift on the darker spectrum as we read on and on...and that's absolutely spot on for dark romance lovers like me.
This time...not only Anya but Ezra too have to go through some serious shit...the four families are so cruel...all the time in the book, I was abusing them...particularly one female character named Renata...gosh I wanted to go in the story and kill her with my bare hands for all she did to them.
This series is not an easy read...I am warning you guys...not for light-hearted readers..its indeed a true love story but it had taken place in the vilest, ruthless place in the world...

The world-building by Author Ford is spectacular...she managed to pull you in with her words in such a way that even after finishing...you are still in a daze.

Her writing is so Flawless that Ezra and Anya never seemed like a virtual fiction character...they spoke to your soul, their pain of separation, their agony, relief to be united again.

Ezra was the true Prince charming...and he found his princess...
I am sure this story will be imprinted in my mind forever...

I want to Recommend this story full-heartedly...Lovers of Dark romance, don't think twice...read this book and get lost in the world of these dancing soul mates

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS

line



Star Rating : 4.5/5 Stars

POV : Dual

Cliffhanger : No

Hero : Ezra. He was the perfect hero. He wasn't the JP type but more of a sweet and innocent hero who got caught up in a very dark world.

Heroine : Anya. She was the woman who had too much pain in her life. Her strength had me in awe and the things she went through were too much for my brain to comprehend. She still survived them and came out even stronger. There is nothing more attractive than that.

Pace of the story : Fast

Angst Rating : 9/10

Heat Rating : 5/10

Triggers Involved : Rape , Abuse (Verbal + Physical) , Kidnapping , Starvation , Confinement

Plot Summary :
After the ending of Book 2 , things are not good for Ezra and Anya. Anya is almost broken and I totally don't blame her , there is only so much she can handle. Nicolai is on the brink of death and now he is the only one who can change their path of life.

This book had a lot of twists and turns that surprised me a lot. A lot of new players are in town and Ezra and Anya have a lot of opponents to fight. This is definitely the final fight and maybe they can find their Happy Ending this time.

Overall Opinion :
This trilogy was definitely a top read of mine. I am already warning you guys that it has a lot of triggers including Rape (multiple times) and starvation too. The book progresses smoothly and had a lot of Twists in the beginning that surprised me a lot. The characters who were supposed to be the Villain were suddenly the characters who sacrificed himself. But that does not mean all the problems were solved.

A new player was in town and this time Anya and Ezra were at even more danger than before. The ending of this book was perfect and I am happy that these two characters got their HEA even after so much pain and suffering.

I will definitely recommend this book to dark Romance lovers. If you are looking for a JP hero , then this book is not the one for you however if you are searching for a sweet hero who is the light to the heroine's dark world and makes her fight to survive , then this book will be perfect for you. Ezra was as much of a slave as Anya and they both suffered in their own way.

Final Verdict :
Dark Romance With HEA.
Has a lot of twists in the starting that I loved.
A must read for dark Romance lovers.
Hero is not JP but rather sweet and Sassy.

What a deliciously dark trilogy! I’m really happy with the entire story. It was twisted, depraved, and had me on the edge of my seat!

My only drawback with this particular book is that the storytelling shifted at the end from the story being played out on the page to the narrator telling the reader what happened. That won’t stop me from recommending this trilogy - it’s just a personal preference. I will definitely continue on to read the spinoff book, King of Masters.

Full review to come.

I am in a book hangover. I read all three books in one setting. I started around 4 in the afternoon and didn't finish until around 2 a.m. Brynn brings you into an unbelievable world that takes you by surprise and won't let you go. Anya, Ezra, and Nikolai's story took me to a place I was not prepared for. Now that we are on the third and last book you expect a happy ending and no more pain for Anya and Ezra. But you would be wrong on so many levels. These two are in for the fight of their lives.

As I said I read this series in one sitting, it is now the next day and I am still reeling. If there is one series you read this year, read this one. Although heed the warnings!!

In a world where I have been powerless and abused for so long, it’s a rush to know that he’s mine.

Phew! Ok on the one hand I’m so relieved and happy that this series is over because now I know how it all ends and I can stop the incessant wheel of questions going on in my head. But on the other hand, I’m going to miss Ezra and Anya so damn much. With this plot, the not knowing what is going to happen to our characters next and knowing literally anything is possible including death has been like going on the scariest roller coaster: you’re relieved it’s over, you wanted to cry and shit your pants the whole time, and the experience has forever changed you.

I’m not going into any details since this is the third and final book so a lot has happened and I don’t wanna give any spoilers. But I do want to say that this series is why I love dark romance so much. It hurts, it’s scary, it’s messy, but love conquers all. Love gives hope where there should be none, and it feeds the soul.

”I see you always dancing. Vibrant, strong, mine.”

Thank goodness for Brynn Ford giving us a happy ending. Pas De Trois was a nail biting, panic enducing, pulse racing final book. It made me cry at least half a dozen times. It was an excellent dark, emotional, disturbing love story. And this entire trilogy is a top fave in this sub genre (dark romance) for sure.

This trilogy is one of the roughest and scariest I’ve ever read but oh it is absolutely worth it. Read it now and then come thank me afterwards.

This was a good story admittedly. There's a 'but' coming though.
Before reading further, plz consider that I couldn't connect with the story. It was a good one but it wasn't for me. So base your decision to read it on that instead of my rant below.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's start. I learned the following things from the story....about myself:

1) I didn't feel connected to Ezra and Anya. I knew this from the beginning so I should've just cut my losses instead of pushing myself into a book slump.
2) I am too much of a cynic to believe in this particular book from this series. The ending was really fucking cute and my heart practically melted over Brandon. However, during the rest of the book, things just work out for the couple by sheer dumb luck, stupidity or other people's help. I assure you if they had been on their own, they wouldn't be able to get out of this situation...ever. That's why I am upset....I am too cynical to believe in luck. Also, it was a fucking soap opera drama with Renata and Anya in the middle of the book....which was exhausting somehow.

3)I am a detail person so I pick up on the smallest of things when given the chance. (Believe me, it's a curse sometimes). So Ezra mentions that he contacted the FBI and CIA but they didn't do anything cuz they are in Four Families' pockets, so to say.. But if those guys are owned by them, how come they didn't inform someone that Ezra was looking into things and asking questions? The whole thing would have just collapsed there, right? They could have killed Ezra leading to.....No Ezra, no Anya, no human trafficking bust, no arrests of the Four Families' members. Tragic ever after. *Devious grin* ( Don't sharpen your knives people, I just have a thing for tragic endings and my imagination is a dark place)

4) Anya DID NOT know how to use her power. She basically held 1/4 of the world in her hand and she still let the others streamroll her. I was like...."girl, if you don't want to stay in Vigo's room, don't stay there." She was promised to be treated like a Mikhailov guest which means she should be comfortable in her accommodations. Like I said...soap opera.

Something that I really really loved was Nikolai's death scene and how Anya cries for him. Even though Anya knows Nikolai is her tormentor and hates him, she still connects with him enough to be sad about his death. It's a normal reaction in captive situations. The author has obviously done her research and knows what she's talking about here so a great applause to her.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Blood taken requires blood given. But whose will spill?
The four families would see retribution for the blood I spilled. They were coming for me and I couldn't escape their wrath. But my master saved my life with unspoken promises of protection from their revenge. He was a man I thought I couldn't trust, but I had no choice. Secrets were about to be revealed that would change everything. Armed with the truth, I was ready to fight for a future with the man I loved that I never thought would be possible. I was ready to fight for our freedom. I was ready to take on power that didn't exist before. I was ready to transform from slave to queen and become the woman I had to be to survive. There was more on the line now than ever before. Three lives hung in the balance. Decisions were being made about our fates for tings that were beyond our control, but it was time for me to take destiny in my own hands. There was hope for us where there was none before. I could take it and run with it.

This is the final book in the Four Families Series. This is a dark romance and you have to read the first two books before you can read this one. Counts of Eight, and Dance With Death. Anya and Ezra have one dark story to tell and this conclusion will blow you away. I think I closed this book speechless and I also closed it with my mind blown too. I don't want to give any of the story away. I just know that if you love dark romances that really push your boundaries then you do not want to miss this series at all.

ARC received from Candi Cane PR . Voluntarily reviewing and all opinions are objective and my own.

This series has been amazing thus far and this book is no different. What’s great about this series is how each book has me utterly unaware of how the next one will go. So, going into this one, I had NO idea how this series would end. I assume a HEA after everything, but how Ezra and Anya got there, I wasn’t sure.

This book was such a whirlwind of darkness, it was amazing. Book 1 sees Anya’s typical dark life, book 2 shows how it can be really bad, and book 3 features Anya at new heights while Ezra lives her old life. That’s all I will say on that for spoilers. This book definitely showed a new side of Anya, in the midst of all the craziness.

I felt it gave more insight into Nikolai’s character, and though the insights were answered, I felt there was more to it. He did what he did due to obsession, but how did he think it would end for them? Did he have a plan, or did he suspect she would need the protection he provided which is why he did it? So many questions I still have! Still, I do feel satisfied with the book overall.

To avoid spoilers, I won’t hit the main plot in this book, but let me say, it’s a good one! It leads into a very bittersweet ending. While I am pleased for the ending, I almost wish when she was on the road, that would be it. Again, this won’t make sense but I am avoiding spoilers. I cried for her, and for them, so I am happy with the ending it gave and VERY satisfied. Because even when is all said and done, the question remains, what about the Four Families? Is that it for their interventions in their life, so I enjoyed how it all got wrapped up. The time jump was also bittersweet, but I do feel it worked with this.

All in all, Byrnn Ford wrote an amazing trilogy for a debut series and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Pas de Trois is the explosive conclusion in The Four Families Trilogy so YOU HAVE TO READ Counts of Eight (Book 1) & Dance with Death (Book 2) FIRST! There's so much going on here plus it's the conclusion and as such, everything is bigger & I'm not willing to name names or give details. I do want to give a stern warning that it's a dark dark Trilogy that gave this dark & twisty soul pause so proceed with caution. There are so many twists going on that it was like I didn't know any other word to say but the f-bomb, and even that stopped at a certain point because I just couldn't utter another word. HOLY HELL I truly thought that our heroine couldn't go through anything else before finally losing her mind, but Brynn Ford rose to surprise me as she leveled up. The pain that seeped out of my kindle felt like it was choking me is an example of brilliant writing since I wasn't' reading about them, I was living their lives. So yeah, Pas de Trois blew my mind (which is crazy since I already experienced the previous 2 books) and I believe you'll feel the same way after you hit those one click buttons! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If you’re a dark romance lover- READ this series! Definitely take note of the warnings, as there is just about every trigger in these series to watch out for. It wasn’t over done-it was tasteful-sophisticated- and PAINFUL to its very core. I was seriously rubbing my chest throughout this story, because there are so many emotions this author pulls from you. There is true and real heartbreak-such a fantastical gut wrenching ending-but I’m still sitting here trying to someway plot some revenge. This is a must read for any dark romance lover-if you have no triggers, this is definitely for you!

Anya, Ezra and Nikolai are the focus of this book that starts off where the second left off. Anya and Ezra have been through so much heartbreak. This story just pulls you right in and makes you want to root for the main characters. This author tells a compelling story like none other.

"I had to become like them.
I had to become regal,god-like.
I had to become a QUEEN."

I had the privilege of beta reading this beautifully dark book and let me tell you I was an emotional wreck the entire time. If you thought the first books were a punch to the gut just wait for this one!! As always Brynn takes her characters on such a dark path with so many twists that really pull at your emotions!! I cannot wait for you all to experience this book!! Thank you again Brynn 🖤🖤

Stomp on my heart now will you Brynn Ford.

"Mine?"
"Always fucking yours."


I don't think people understand how forking heartbreaking the revelation of Nikolai was. You don't understand. I lay awake thinking about the secret he kept. Nothing was more deafening than that. And I can't even say why because that is the Mother of Spoilers.

We survived Dance with Death, we are safe right? WRONG. With the looming end to this trilogy, comes the question of how everything will wrap up and I was glad that it did not disappoint.

This book was heartbreaking in a whole different way. By the time I finished reading this book I could not stop crying. I felt like my soul was crumbling. My heart shrinking. Despite the happy note in which it left, the path that led to it was one filled with so many traumatic events, so much despair, so much pain and blood. And in this book we were not spared all of these intense feelings just because it was the last book. No, the author managed to raise our hopes only to throw us into yet another curb that left us reeling.

If you haven't read Counts of Eight and Dance with Death, i suggest you do so before reading this one.

Anya, Ezra and Nikolai's story will remain with me for a long while. Like I mentioned before, I started this trilogy and finished in one sitting. I feel incredibly overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.

This series was phenomenal, heart breaking, gut wrenching and in the end just amazing. This is an absolute must read for every dark romance reader. We pick up right where book 2 leaves off and Anya and Ezra still have this up hill battle to get though to reach their HEA. And let me tell you the journey is nothing nice and full of twists and turns that have you holding your breath because you have no idea when the next blow will come. The love and will power these two have to survive and to be together is unmatched. This authors words serious hit you right where it counts and even though they may make you uncomfortable at times it was so freaking worth it. Amazing conclusion!!! Highly highly recommend this series!

The finale. Despite the wild ride we’re throttled on there’s happiness at the end but we all know how harrowing the journey has been. This series is not a light fluffy romance, there’s much more darkness.

MUST read series in order. If anything could be summed about this series it’s, love is selfless.

**BETA read**

Pas de Trois is the fantastic conclusion to The Four Families trilogy!
I am ever so thankful thank Brynn selected me to be one of her beta readers on this series. I have told her straight up...she doesn't even really need beta readers because what I've read could be published right now and be good to go.

Pas de Trois picks up right where Dance with Death ends. Throughout this book, as I was reading on my computer, I had to stop and prepare myself to scroll down through the book because I was so nervous over the outcome of a few situations. No joke...I legit had to pause, take a breather, and force myself to hit the button to scroll down. There were things that I was sooooo torn on what I wanted the outcome to be.

This conclusion is not as intense in darkness as Counts of Eight or Dance with Death, but it is full of being on the edge of your seat! The darkness is still there...don't worry my fellow dark romance lovers...but as she wraps up this trilogy the darkness starts to fade.

Right now...I can't say much without giving things away. There are a few characters that I would LOVE to see a spin off of...I would love for them to get their own story. There are a few...one in particular...that I asked Brynn to write me in to kill them off.

Get ready for a fantastic conclusion to Anya and Ezra!!!

Merged review:

Updated review after ARC read:
Essentially nothing in my below BETA read review changes, EXCEPT to say that the darkness that faded a bit...is no longer true. Brynn kept the darkest that we saw in books 1 and 2 and carried it into and through Pas de Trois. This conclusion remains hauntingly dark...and I am absolutely enthralled.

This trilogy is what dark romance is made of. If you are a dark romance lover...you MUST read this trilogy!
It is sinfully sexy and hot as hell, even as Anya and Ezra have to battle to keep their lives. Is escape finally possible?
Even knowing, with beta reading, what to expect I was still on the edge of my seat. I wasn't aware of what all changes Brynn made, so she definitely kept me on my toes.

Anya and Ezra stole my dark romance heart.

This is a continuation trilogy and MUST be read in order:
Counts of Eight
Dance with Death
Pas de Trois

Pas de Trois is the conclusion to this dark romance trilogy by Brynn Ford. After Anya and Ezra did the unthinkable by killing two Heads of House of the violent and illegal organization known as the Four Families, they must face the consequences from the rest of the group and figure out how to survive. Anya continues to prove how strong, resilient, and ruthless she can be. In her new role, she's no longer the slave but the acknowledged queen of Mikhailov Manor. In this book, Anya has much more to fight for than just herself and Ezra, so making sure that she bides her time and plans strategically to ensure her freedom. The remaining members of the Four Families do their best to torture and humiliate Anya, but she proves unyielding in her quest to protect her little family. Ezra is still steadfast in his love, loyal even to his own detriment, and willing to sacrifice everything to be with Anya.

These two characters have suffered at the hands of their cruel master and his other evil counterparts, from both physical and emotional trauma. In these instances, it's quick to label yourself as broken and damaged, which is the dehumanizing effects of enslavement. When Anya tells Ezra that she feels complete with him, he is quick to say "You're complete on your own without me." I love that Ezra realizes this about Anya and works to build her up, and to make her realize that she is already complete and whole on her own. His presence and love bolsters and encourages her, though she already has the strength to live and survive even before he comes into her life. As the ultimate revenge against their former captors, Ezra and Anya continually choose to belong to each other every day, to live and love even after a gritty existence with the Four Families.

I actually like Stella and Murphy? I lowkey wish they had a book so I can see his redemptive arc.

Pas de Trois is the third and final book in The Four Families trilogy and the story continues following the events that happened at the end of Dance with Death.

This book was less uncomfortable for me to read and I enjoyed it more compared to the previous books. Horrible things still happened in this book, but there was more focus on angst, suspense, and a bit of action. My guesses and suspicions about the mysteries and unanswered questions from the previous book were confirmed to be correct when the secrets were revealed in the early part of this book. The first secret that Nikolai kept from Anya may have saved her and Ezra from losing their lives, but I still found it to be so twisted and vile. Then there’s the other secret which just made me feel angrier towards Nikolai and the fact that he did that to Anya out of vengeance was just so downright cruel.

I loved Anya in this book. She was fierce, stronger, more confident, and a queen. She still showed some vulnerability from time to time, but she never showed it in front of her enemies. Ezra is still the amazing charmer that he is, but my heart broke for him in this book, especially with the things that he went through at the hands of Renata. I actually kind of liked Renata in the previous books. I knew there was something sinister and shady about her character, but my impression of her was mostly that of a strong and confident woman, and I thought she wasn’t that bad compared to her brother, Vigo. But then what she did to Ezra in this book just proved that she’s not much different from him after all. Other characters that shone in this book were Murphy and Stella and I think that they’re a very interesting and intriguing couple.

Overall, Pas de Trois was a great conclusion to The Four Families Trilogy and I’m very satisfied with how things ended. Anya and Ezra deserved this perfect ending and it’s all I ever wanted for them and more. I’m so glad to have known them and their story, and I think Brynn Ford did a great job in writing this story about two survivors who found love in each other and then overcame the darkness around them. Reading this book and the trilogy as a whole was like riding a rollercoaster of emotions as there were a lot of times when it made me cry, nervous, and angry, but there were also a lot of times when it made me smile and swoon over Anya and Ezra. I do recommend reading this series, but please do pay attention to the trigger warnings that were provided in all books before reading them. It’s a series filled with darkness, fear, and pain, but beyond that, there’s also light, hope, and happiness, and I promise it’s all worth it when you reach the end.

Explosive conclusion to this amazing story!!!

“I want to spark a fire in the dry heat, explode into flames, and burn down the four families with Ezra by my side.”

What an amazing and explosive conclusion to The Four Families Trilogy! Right from the very start we are taken back into the darkness and pain of Anya and Ezra’s life. The story is action packed, extremely intense, thrilling and so twisted that I was unsure we would finally get a happy ending.

This story is an emotional rollercoaster ride that will shock you, tease you with happiness and then throw you into a tailspin of hurt and pain you never see coming. Anya and Ezra are put through so much but they both come out fighting for their lives. Neither one will give up on the other and it was thrilling to read. They kept me on the edge of my seat, hoping and prying that their suffering was finally over.

This whole trilogy just blew my mind. With incredible and brilliant writing, we readers are taken on an emotional journey into despicable darkness, depravity and pain only to be given small glimpses of sunlight and happiness over the course of the story.

Anya and Ezra’s story gutted, made me cry, and filled me with such intense happiness throughout the series. It was breathtaking and unforgettable.

Highly recommend.

Brynn Ford has completely shattered my heart with the last book of The Four Families Trilogy, the heartbreaking cliffhanger in the second book left me with so many doubts and so many encountered feelings that I couldn’t believe my mind suddenly switched sides; Anya, Ezra and Nikolai managed to create their own story and now I do believe when an author says that characters speak to them and ask for their stories to be told.

Secrets that will tear your heart out, lies and a world where a new ruler takes part as the head of one of the most feared families, you won’t find anything like this out there, THAT I can guarantee you; this story is so original, so dark with genuine and fearful characters, with a background that will make you crave more about this dark world.

I felt in love with the devil of the story and maybe it’s because I’ve read so many dark romances that my heart and my mind automatically seeks the monster of the story to fall in love with, and in this case Brynn Ford delivered an amazing one.

This book in my opinion is not as scandalous as the previous ones, however the same triggers remain, but this story is more about the closure the characters get and even though I do believe the author could be bolder with their story, I’m happy to say Pas de Trois is a really good ending to a one of a kind dark romance tale.

Pas de Trios is book 3 in The Four Families trilogy and must be read after Counts of Eight and Dance with Death.

I’m always excited to find a new dark series and trigger warnings are my one-click indicator. In book 1 we met Anya and Ezra who are dancers that are stolen by Nikolai who is the head of one of the families. Anya was taken 3 years ago and is at this point accepting of her fate and relatively submissive to Nikolai. Her task in book 1 was to force Ezra to conform to the rules of the house and prepare a dance for the quarterly meeting of the four families. She accomplished that, but fell for him at the same time. We were left when Nikolai caught them together and he was furious with her. Book 2 began with Nikolai going crazy and not only horribly injuring Anya he ended up selling her to one of the other families. Anya thought things with Nikolai were bad, but her time with Vigo was more terrifying then she could have ever imagined. At the end of book 2, he finally got what was coming to him and now Nikolai, Ezra and Anya are trying to get back to Russia, but will the other families catch them before they can make it home? And will Nikolai be able to keep the other families from taking Anya and punishing her for her crimes against Vigo?

This was definitely a dark read. Book 3 was the most emotionally draining of the three. Just when you think that Anya is going to be free, there is another twist that knocks you down. There were times that I just wanted Anya or Ezra to fight back, but the author did a good job of showing how impossible that was for them. I could not believe how Nikolai manipulated the events in this book. I really wanted to know what he would have said if Anya was able to ask him “Why?”. This was definitely the perfect conclusion to the trilogy and I’m so glad I got to read it.

In a nutshell: 5/5 Captive Stars • Hero (Ezra) • Heroine (Anya) • Plot 5/5 • Writing Style 4/5 • Steam 4/5 • Romance 3/5 • Pacing Steady • MF • Underground Families • Dark • Human Trafficking • Plot twists • HEA

Alright...Pas de Trois took me deep into the dark and I could not have loved it more..The third book in The Four Families series, this book can't be read alone. You need to read Counts of Eight follow by Dance of Death before Pas de Trois. As the books go along in the series they become more and more intense and if you like more light hearted books, be advised. I on the other hand am in love with the darkness so these were perfect.

I can count on one hand when a book has made me do this but I am still reeling from the read, so I need a day or two to process it and write a decent review. This book deserves it, I can say that it deserves all the stars and all the reads. Definitely read it!

Wow! Dark romance at its finest. I am left reeling after that read, both devastated and elated. I am so sad to see the series go, but the ending and the final piece of the tale, to get there, were beautiful.

This book tells a story, a series, that is so well woven that you become fully invested in the whole thing. You want to be there, be part of the story and really see all the things you feel, whilst reading each chapter.

The characters are perfect. Some you love, some you bitterly hate, but no matter what, they each have a perfect part to play, in the final journey.

The author thought through this story and wrote it so well that you cannot help but fall in love with every page, every moment. I highly recommend you make this your next dark romance read.

Pas de Trois by Brynn Ford is the heart-breaking, exciting, rejuvenating story of Ezra and Anya. Things become extremely volatile and deadly in this last book of the Four Families series!!! I refuse to divulge the plot, but this is a fabulous, fitting, explosive ending to this emotionally draining story of survival. It was INCREDIBLE….Loved every word written and was deeply invested in all of the characters. Couldn’t ask for a more fitting end!!!!!! I will miss these characters!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is the last book in this series and it didn’t disappoint. This series is dark and touches on situations that might make others uncomfortable, but it’s so good. I always appreciate when an author is willing to take a reader to uncomfortable places, because sadly, it’s a part of life. This book is an epic emotional roller coaster, you just don’t know where it’s going to take you. It’s dramatic, dark, it’ll make you want to slap Renata, and ultimately it makes you feel happiness. Happiness in a dark book you ask? You’ll have to read it to find out why. Needless to say I had a cheesy grin on my face when I finished this book. I absolutely loved this series and would recommend it for sure!

There is so much to unpack in this trilogy but most definitely in this final book. Just a fair warning...it’s a dark read. If you haven’t read this series yet just know that going in. It’s DARK.

Anya and Ezra...I don’t know what to say. I’m so glad they had each other and that Anya was such a strong h. The book wouldn’t have been the same otherwise.

I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I will just say be ready for emotions overload. And Murphy, yeah, we need more of him please!

OMG, I can’t believe the final book in the Four Families trilogy is out!! If you haven’t started this trilogy, I’ll just warn you that it’s a dark, passionate, and all consuming romance you won’t want to put down. ⁣

It’s sufficed to say that this trilogy will also take you on an emotional rollercoaster. ⁣

So Pas De Trois picks up right where Dance with Death left off, don’t worry I won’t spoil it but WOW it completely took me by surprise. I was not ready for what Brynn had in store for us. 😭 Y’all this book wasn’t as dark as the previous two but it was definitely WAY MORE emotional. Like I’m crying so much I’m finding it hard to breath kind of crying. Yea I looked like a mess while reading this, but it was all worth it by the end! 🙌🏻⁣

All of you that were waiting for the trilogy to be complete to start your binge. ✨THIS IS YOUR TIME.✨

Overall, this trilogy is one that I will be coming back to time and again. I don’t think I’ll be able to say goodbye to these characters and hope Brynn has plans for some side characters!! 🙏🏻⁣

Pas de Trios is the perfect ending to an amazingly dark, twisted and fantastic series. The emotional roller coaster this story takes you on is breathtaking. Erza and Anya journey is dark, heartbreaking, painful, and emotional. The suspense will have you on the edge of your seat, as you wonder what else these two will have to survive. The ending is absolutely perfect and beautifully written! Such an amazing story! The whole series is captivating, addicting and mind blowing. Definitely a must read!

I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The epic conclusion of the series! This series takes the reader on a journey through a very dark world. Very unique setting and plot. The four families are evil. Anya and Ezra are strong and must navigate though lots of secrets and obstacles. This is the conclusion, so you must read the first two books first.
