The third and last book of All's Fair series is definitely the most anxiety inducing. It just came and punched me repeatedly. One important note about this one: probably shouldn't be read as a standalone. I think most series can be read out of turn or you can only read certain volumes, but with this one you really have to read the first novel as well. The plots are tightly connected and you'd be lost without some background.
That being said, I loved that the plot is connected with the first book. Reading the second one I knew this was coming, but I wasn't sure if the Sculptor would be a secondary case or not. Well, it turns out the Sculptor wasn't quite done yet, still had some things planned.
Elliot and Tucker are as great as ever, they are well set in their routines, life's pretty good, but when Tucker went missing, oh my, I felt that. Reading the novel I knew this was coming, but I still didn't want to believe it until I saw the words. There was the question if Tucker's disappearance was connected to the Sculptor, was it related to another case he was working on, or he bailed and left Elliot. Well, we all know which one of those options is not it.
I missed not having Tucker around for a few chapters and I was worried about what his captors might do to him, but the mystery around it and the want to know what happened kept me turning page after page. I dreamed of reunion. I even got myself some wine to share with the characters when that happened.
There is an itty-bitty hint of a sequel. This might just be wishful thinking on my part, but I'm just saying. The series ended on a really nice note, I like it, I'm satisfied, and I might just keep the novels close in case I might want to read them again.
Erm, actual spoilers coming because there are two things I really want to say.
(01) I was so glad when Elliot found a dog and I was thinking, yes, that's it, Elliot is finally getting a dog, but then that sard came and shot it?? Made me sad, but good thing she was poor shooter and Elliot did get a dog! I loved Sheba and while it's clear where her loyalties stand, I would love to see more interaction between her and Tucker. The bit I got was funny.
(02) I kept saying how it's clear Elliot was a great agent and that I was sad he was not one anymore since it's obvious that's his calling, but everything turned out great! He was offered a position in the Bureau and, really, that makes me so glad. I just hope Elliot and Tucker won't have to give up on some quality time together. These two really need some, especially with the upcoming honeymoon and all, hehe.
