This was a solid wrap up to the series, but just didn't quite hit the mark the other books in the series have done for me to date. The characters have been consistent throughout the series, the storyline engaging and well paced, and the secondary characters great support for Prophet and Tom. What didn't work for me in this book was the massive overload of plot twists and reveals that occurred in a very short timeframe. It was easy to get lost in all the changes and trying to keep track of who knew what, and what was really going on. Characters revealed to be double agents, betrayers or to have a new secret past that suddenly comes to light - just to name a few. Then the whole resolution of the John situation was very anticlimactic - something Tom himself points out. And yet that wasn't the end of the story, we then have a new antagonist to follow and hunt down in the last half of the book. I found it a little rushed and therefore lacking the attention to detail that we got in the earlier books.
I still enjoyed the series and would recommend it, I just found this book didn't hold the same standard as the previous books so I can't rate it the same.
Looking forward to trying other works by this author as I do like her style.

FANTASTIC!! Well worth the wait. Exceeded my expectations SE Jakes knows how to keep a reader spellbound with her stories. Tommy & Prophet adore these guys, so happy after everything they went through got their HEA. Sad to
have their story end, but I know we will catch up with their lives in future books can't wait.
This series & these guys will stay with me for a long time no matter how many books I read.
I recommend you go & check out other work by this author you won't regret it.

I have been hanging out for this book for ever... finally read it (and the rest of the series again). As usual, I wasnt disappointed. These two men go through more bloodshed and trauma than any human should. Betrayal, lies, and love weave through the pages of this final action packed book, ensuring you turn pages really quickly to see what happens next. Loved it! Loved the series, Love the author.

ヘルハイシリーズ最終章!!!
Reviewed in Japan on 10 June 2019Verified Purchase
当初の予定から2年くらい?大幅に遅れつつもプロフェットとトムのお話完結です。
なんかこれ、完成が遅れたのは作者さんのモチベーションがどうとかじゃなく、関係してた編集者の問題だったみたいです。結局その編集者は辞めたけど、関わってた作家さんが多くて、そちらの界隈で結構な騒ぎになったみたいですね。
閑話休題。
こちらのヘルハイシリーズは既刊分まで邦訳が出版されてるので、本作も確実にそうなるでしょう。
だからネタバレ避けつつ。
相変わらずプロフェットはいろんなこと秘密にしてて、それを明かされたトムがブリブリしちゃってます。
トムよ…大人のわりに怒りっぽいよな…とは思うけど、まああんなことやそんなことやこんなことまで秘密にされちゃ仕方ないか。
喧嘩しつつもプロフェットとトム、そしてキリアンも含めて仲間たちは一丸となって彼らを長年苦しめてきた敵と立ち向かいます。
これまで登場したメンツがほぼ勢揃い、そして新しい登場人物もボカスカ出てくるからちょっと混乱するかも。しかもある人物の正体は実は…的な秘密が暴露されたりするし。それも何人も。
作家さんが前出の編集者さんに本作のプロットを渡した時に、「プロフェットが可哀想過ぎる!」的なことを言われたみたいです。確かにプロフ…うちのめされまくるよプロフ…文字通り満身創痍だよ…。
でもトムが、そしてレミーがいるから、プロフェットの人生はきっと明るいんだ…。
SE JAKES氏の文章は私にとっては無茶苦茶読みにくいです。
でもアルファ同士でぶつかり合うカップル大好きなので、また懲りずに手を出しますよきっと。
特にキリアンとマルがメインのdirtyシリーズに繋がる終わり方されちゃったら読まないわけにいかないわー大好きー!!!

ひとつだけネタバレ
トムがプロフェットの幸・不幸の考え方について「まるでGibran linesだなー」と感じたのはカリーブ・ジブランの『預言者』に収録されている『喜びと悲しみについて』という詩のことだと思います。
間違ってるかもしらんけど。

人物描写が一面的すぎる
Reviewed in Japan on 15 February 2021Verified Purchase
3巻まではイラストに惹かれて翻訳で、4巻だけは訳がなくて仕方なく原書で読みました。
闘いと苛立ちと怒りがまるで雑草のように蔓延っている世界観で、続けて読むとちょっと(いやかなり)疲れる。
特にこの4巻目に関しては、ファイナルファンタジーの7でもやっているような気分になった。Johnがラスボスだとしたら、その後の部分は不要とは言わないけれど、少し冗長に感じた。アンチ・クライマックスな感じ。
Johnの人物像には違和感を感じる。Prophetが昔自分の「兄弟・恋人」としてあれほどに心酔していたはずの人物で、Prophetに対してflashbackに出てくるほどの影響力を持つ人物なのに、Tomが、そしてMalが一目で”demon"だと断じて憎むほどに100%悪い奴だという事に違和感がある。ProphetがJohnの中に自分と同じものを見ていた、というような説明では納得できない。むしろ、『シティー・ハンター』のラスボス(?)のカイバラのように、次第に狂っていく自分をProphetが止めてくれることを心のどこかで願っていたとかいう展開だったら、もっと感情移入できたかもしれないのに…ただのサイコパスにしてしまったのが残念だった。「悪い奴」が100%悪である必要はないと思う。
Johnとの対決がtoe-to-toeの肉弾戦だったのはまぁ、いいんですけど(笑)、Tomが力でぶつかっていくしか能のない単細胞のように感じてしまった。「怒り」に支配されて闘ってはいけないんじゃなかったっけ?Prophet に対して、暴力と支配することでしか接することが出来ないJohnに対して、一種の哀れみとか、もっと複雑な気持ちがあっても良かったのではないかと思う。
1巻目から一気に読むとどうしても初めの頃との整合性に疑問を感じるところは多々あれど、全体としてはまぁ、楽しめた。でも、もうおなか一杯(笑)。

The final book in Tommy and Prophet’s story
Reviewed in the United States on 22 January 2019Verified Purchase
Tommy and Prophet are once again in danger. They have Remy now so they are aware they need to do their best to return to him. All their friends (and not friends) are in on the hunt for Jack, who has become even more dangerous. They both wonder if their love can withstand this last test. Prophet is still battling his worsening eyesight. He just wants to be able to take care of Tommy and Remy and have a semi normal life. Tommy knows life with Prophet will never be normal. He just wants his man safe. Their chemistry is still incredibly hot and their arguments are still settled in the same sexy way.
The story was convoluted, there’s no doubt about that. So many characters to keep track of. Relationships past and present, overlapping. Hidden agendas, Crosses and double crosses (may even be a triple cross in there somewhere). Through all of it the characters have remained true to their particular story. The sense of family all these men have, even when they want to do bodily harm to each other, is heartfelt.
I was glad to get a settled ending to Tommy and Prophet’s story. They really are quite nice together.
**PERSONAL NOTE** I don’t believe an author is obligated to write on a specific time line. As the reader it’s my choice to buy a series before it’s finished. Each book I choose to review needs to be based on how it spoke to me, the satisfaction I received from it, not how long it took to get here.

Simply amazing
Reviewed in the United States on 23 January 2019Verified Purchase
This book simply surpassed all my expectations. I was a little worried because of the long hiatus, but no need to worry, I re-read the series a few days before starting this and the transition is flawless and in synch.
Suggestions though... if you haven’t recently discovered the series, I strongly suggest reading the whole series again, including Dirty Deeds.
This books was just as good as the others, if not better. It’s action packed and we really get to enjoy the team as a whole, yes, including Cillian (I’m legitimately obsessed with Mal and Cil and can’t wait for Dirty Lies to come out). We also get more of Dean, and get introduced to Nico and some other interesting characters that we will be seeing -hopefully- a lot more of.
The secrets are out and the tension between Prophet and Tommy is nerve wracking at times, but it’s amazing to see how far they’ve come as a couple from book 1.
I loved how much action there was, but I extremely loved the “happy family” -as I like to call them- parts, Remy is this shinning star amongst these men, and Crazy Uncle Mal is just icing on the cake.
I feel like this books left the door open so many complicated and sexy relationships... mainly Mal and Cil, Nico and Doc, Ren and King, hopefully Dean.
Can’t wait to see more from SE!

An fnd fitting for Proph and Tom
Reviewed in the United States on 23 January 2019Verified Purchase
Easy, sweet and tender romance was never in the cards for Prophet and Tommy, but what they have is hot, strong and the real deal. From the moment they met to the last page it's never been easy, but truly worth fighting for.
This book and their final showdown with Prophets old friend, lover and nemesis John brought family and teams together and revealed some hard secrets. And in the middle of old deamons, new enemies, bombs, violence and torture there's the friendship between all the crazy, dangerous men who stands out the most.
Can't wait to read more about Mal and Cillian and Doc and Nico!!
