This book gave me more closure than any of my exes cared to 😂 So hard to review this without spoilers! But a 👍🏻👍🏻 from me, perfectly finished, whatever will I read now?!
(ARC REVIEW) You have to read each book to understand the whole series. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it made my soul smile. I have needed this book. I needed to know how this series ended. In all of this Killian and Bella deserved their happy ending. Each book in this series gives a glimpse of this couple and the build-up was worth the wait. In the other books, you see the ridged side of Killian in this book you get to see Killian's softer side. While I absolutely adored Bella there was a moment that I did want to smack her but in the end, it all works out. I am sad to see this series but Im excited to see what the next journey Toni takes us on.

I can't believe that is the end of the series 😭😭 All the brothers have had a book and now it was Killian's turn. Killian is head of the Syndicate and Bella is his better half of 10 years. I thought it was a fitting way to end the series with the head of the Syndicate. It felt more final with it being with the big guy at the top.
I've always felt for Killian throughout all the brothers books. He always has the weight of the world on his shoulders and with so much responsibility he is always putting on a front to the outside world. In this book we get to see the other side of him that was vulnerable. Bella is his anchor. But what will he do if she suddenly isn't there anymore?
I loved the other POV's as well as Killian and Bella's. It was amazing to be back with these characters so it's bittersweet writing this review, as its the last one, but they certainly went out with a bang! There is steam, sad times and a lot of drama and angst. People got what was coming to them. Karma definitely came. It's definitely a page turner. Well done Toni for creating this world for us! ❤️ You've done it and completed your first series! ❤️
I know i say it often now but i dont know how i ended up getting so lucky. I actually alpha/beta (whatever you want to call it) and i adpred it then and still love it second time round. I don't know what to say about Killian. The love and care he has for his own family is beautiful. Seeing this man struggle and find his way was tough. I'm sad that this series has come to an end. What a ride its been. The highs and lows. We've been through it all. But essentially love won. Bella frustrated me at times but she was only following her heart and believing in the goodness of people. The O Farrells have a special place in my heart. Yes I cried. Both times I read this book. Thank you for trusting me with your words
Here we have the last book in The Syndicate series and what a wild ride it’s been. I don’t want to give anything away but know that this story has it all and more. Killian and Bella very much deserved their happy ending after everything they’ve endured. We’re so used to seeing the rough and rugged side to Killian but here we see another side to him which only made me love him more. Bella, oh Bella! She frustrated me beyond belief but I still very much adored her. There’s a heap of drama, action, suspense and a whole lot of steam. It was so touching and lovely to be back with this family although bittersweet that it’s come to an end. It definitely pulled on my heartstrings and brought out all the feels. Killian was the perfect conclusion to a fantastic series and I highly recommend.
The fifth and final instalment of the O'Farrell Syndicate.
Killian and Bella, the long awaited couple. The leader of the brotherhood. The saviour, the protector.
With some many unanswered questions throughout the series, we knew Toni had her work cut out. After Rory's heartbreaking end, we knew justice needed to be served.
Well, killian covers this and so so much more.
While battling his own demons and struggles to helping those he cares about most. To losing his way and needing the support from his brothers to stay grounded. To realise just how important family is, especially at a time of need.
After finding his world piling on top of him, while losing his woman he knows he has to act fast. The longer she's missing, the worse the possible outcome. The time is now, he needs to find her.
I could go on and on about how amazing this book is. How the finale ends the syndicate so perfectly. But honestly I don't have the words to explain it. The hard work and dedication it has taken to make this so amazing is incredible. @toni_kelly_author you have gone above and beyond. You have poured your heart and soul into this series. To follow your journey and see you grow as an author makes me such a proud reader. I am so so blessed to have stumbled across these boys. ♡♡♡ love you so much!
Aghhhhh! I absolutely LOVED this book so much! I’ve loved Killian and Bella’s relationship from book 1 (Connor) and it only made me love them more. I felt for Killian so much during this book, all his worries, self doubt, imposter syndrome and his unconditional love for Bella!
Bella, I absolutely love but this girl frustrated me so much! 😂 I just wanted to knock some sense into the woman but we all have had that one person we keep dealing chance after chance too and coming to the same conclusion.
The ending was everything though and I am sure going to miss reading about the O’Farrell brothers. They have well and truly took up root in my heart, each and every one of them 🫶🏻🥹
-edit - I'm supposed to say I read this book as an arc, but I begged to be able to get my hands on it early. I also pre-ordered and I'm still paying for it (just an extra bit of information to show how invested I am)

I'm so glad I started reading this series in order. The first book already broke me, and I finished the rest in a matter of days. It was a long, but patient, wait for Killian to come out. This is the fifth book in the Syndicate series by Toni Kelly.
The Syndicate follows 5 Irish brothers trying to make sense of their crime family while finding their true mate and fighting their demons and their enemies.
Killian is the eldest and found his love long before the first book, but they don't get to have their HEA until now. I find writing reviews really hard, because what could be a teaser to read a book for me could be a massive spoiler for someone else.
But ... what you can expect from the series and from the series finale 'Killian' is mafia, spice (lots of spice - don't read if you don't like spice!), charachters learning to live with trauma (read the trigger warnings!) super protective alphaholes who are not afraid to cry (teeny weenie spoiler)
The last book in what has been a brilliant series. All these men and their ladies capture your heart for many a reason.
Killian ah this man, loved everyone with his whole heart but Belle god he loved her fiercely. Belle - girl you frustrated me at times but your loved and wanting to see the good in people outweighed it all. Killan and Belle together were fire 🔥
This book is full of twists and turns that we've come to love in this series and has you holding onto the end.
This book is book 5 in the Syndicate series, and of course I haven't read the others book because yeah, I'm a dumbass and time was short but honestly I loved this Killian and Bella's story. The angst, drama, and steam were off the page and kept me glued up to the end. I shamelessly admit I've devoured it in one day. #sorrynotsorry, and now I have no, I want to read the entire series again. I highly recommend it, but I suggest reading them in order for a better and more powerful experience.
This is a emotional read and will have you feeling the emotions. This is Killian and Bella story and this is told in a POV setting so get the whole story and get the back stories that are pulled together. This is a story about a journey of how Killian is with his wife of 10 yrs and the softer side of him.
