KinnPorsche (Novel) Vol. 6
With Kant deposed, Porsche is installed as the new head of the Minor Clan, finally putting the conflict between the Theerapanyakul family’s clans to rest… Or has it?
Now, all Pete wants is to live a happy life with Vegas, Macau, and baby Venice. Unfortunately, Vegas has been part of this organization long enough to know that there’s no such thing as happily ever after if they’re still stuck beneath the Major Clan’s heel. Yet, it may be possible to secure that happiness for his little family… if he puts his trust in the mysterious master. Is it worth the risk for everything he and Pete want?
And when Pete finds out Vegas has been sneaking around behind his back, will he be able to stomach getting his own hands dirty to help?

It was messy, frankly overkill. It just went all over and I suffered through it. And the ending? Let's just say it got me rolling my eyes. They all got personality transplants and the bullshit about DID got me rolling my eyes so hard I saw the back of my skull. A very disappointing ending to the series.

1.5 star series imo.
Was very excited to catch up with this series because the series adaptation was so great but I was not aware of how much the showrunners improved on the source material. The novels are full of violent, abusive, emotionally constipated menchildren, portrayed in a very childlike and tacky writing style, though I would be unable to say who's to blame: the authors or the translators. The writing does not allow for the emotional investment that the series did, and it made the books really hard to get through.
This 6th book had no purpose. All it does is ignore all the loose ends left from 5 and add 10 more to the pile, leading nowhere and killing side characters for no reason. Porsche and Kinn's relationship is almost non-existent, after being the focus of the last 5 books, and we end up with more answers than questions. Which is a problem because this is supposed to be the last book in this story.
A disappointing "conclusion".

I am so mad and hurt at this book. I have loved this series since the beginning, including the show, but I am really mad at how certain characters have developed in this book. These are not the characters I have grown to love, despite their faults. I was on board with all the story lines and everyone’s baggage and struggles, but this not only seemed forced but also way too much has changed in a very un-characteristic way.
Then the twist at the end. Idk who that was for but it was absolutely appalling and held no value to the story honestly. The hurt was already there, there was no benefit to more.
I’ve made it to book 6, but very unsure if I will continue to book 7.

This review is for the entire KinnPorsche novel series, but I'm posting it here because Volume 6 is where my feelings became complicated.
First of all, I loved KinnPorsche. The first 5 books were honestly amazing and my heart belongs to Kinn and Porsche. They were absolutely annoying, bickering all the time, dumb and just perfect for each other; I loved it all!!!
Which is why I almost wish I had stopped at Book 5.
Because what exactly happened here???
This book ends on a major cliffhanger and according to the Seven Seas website this is the final volume. HUH??? I finished the book and genuinely sat there confused. There is still a mystery character pulling strings, villains are still around, huge things happen at the end, and somehow that's it???
The thing is, I actually enjoyed most of Book 6. The writing was still great, the story was engaging, and there was always something happening. We get a lot of VegasPete content, though I was sad that there was barely any KinnPorsche compared to previous books. The story itself was keeping me engaged the entire time. There is a miscommunication trope throughout the series that I'm not usually a huge fan of, but I enjoyed the banter and character interactions enough that I didn't really mind most of the time.
What I really loved about this series was that it wasn't just romance. As the books went on, it became a whole mafia and family business story too. There were betrayals, politics, secrets, and constantly wondering who was about to stab who in the back next. It kept me on my toes and I genuinely think the direction the story was taking could have led to some really interesting future books.
Which is why the declaration of this being the final volume was so disappointing.
I honestly hope more books exist one day because I would absolutely read them.
One thing I struggled with was how some of the characters changed throughout the series. Not because change is bad, they've all been through a lot. But because some of it felt abrupt. Early book Kinn was composed and firm but later we were expected to believe he is naive? , and Porsche - I did not recognize him in book 6, he had been through toughest time but his change from book 5 to 6 was too abrupt for my brain to catch up.
Were these books perfect? Nope.
Was there some grand life lesson I took away from them? Also nope.
But honestly, I think their imperfections are what made them perfect for me. These characters are super messy, flawed, dramatic, stubborn idiots and watching them grow together was the biggest takeaway for me.
As much as Book 6's ending pissed me off, I loved these characters and living in their heads was fun. Sometimes the egotistical relationships and the rawness of those moments in Madam Yok's bar are all you need to look at life and think, "You know what? It's going to be okay. Just enjoy the ride."
And yes, I might have a heavy bias from show as I wasn't just reading the characters but the actors too! and come on. We all know they had us on our knees.
So TDLR: I absolutely loved Books 1-5, enjoyed most of Book 6, hated the cliffhanger ending, and would still happily read more if the story ever continued :)

I love Vegas & Pete. I am a huge, huge fan of their relationship. Two broken, traumatized characters who saw each other completely, dark sides and all, and said 'It's you.' They match each other so well. I have no qualms about Vegas' violence. These characters are in a mafia world, of course there will be violence. Pete is also violent both physically and verbally towards Vegas. I love that Pete goes so hard for Venice and calls him his son. Venice is one of the best things that happened to Vegas & Pete(VP). I love how violent they are towards each other, this is fiction so I don't need to read about a wholesome loving relationship. Pete knows that loving Vegas is hard and it is. They are also embedded in the mafia world, one is a mafia boss & the other is a bodyguard, so there's no way their relationship would be super healthy. Vegas also hasn't ever seen a healthy loving romantic relationship, he's trying though.
My two issues with this book are: Vegas & Macau.
What happened to Vegas? Dissociative Identity Disorder is one of the most misunderstood and least researched mental illnesses in the world. Why the hell did the authors give Vegas DID??? Major Depression Disorder was right there! I have no qualms with the authors giving him a mental illness but DID does NOT fit Vegas. So in fiction unlike real life, mental illness can be a metaphor or symbolism for the character for better character analysis. The use of DID means that Vegas has no clue who he is. Because an analysis of DID would start that it is a fracturing of the self. That does NOT fit Vegas at all. Vegas is VERY confident in who he is and what he wants, to an extreme fault. He is extremely solid with who he is and makes no apologies for it. He's charming and confident, aggressive and bold, cunning and calculated. His confidence is one of the MAIN reasons why Pete falls for him. Because they both can supply what the other needs in terms of personality. Pete makes Vegas more kind, Vegas makes pete more liberated and confident. The whole reason that Pete talks about loving pain more in the last two volumes is BECAUSE of Vegas. That would not happen if Vegas was not sure of who he was, if he had a whole other personality he knew nothing about. DID also stems from very extreme forms of violent abuse usually faced in childhood. Kann dying doesn't really seem that traumatic. Also not only did the first 4 volumes cement that Vegas is the way he is because Kann(his father) had been physically abusing him for YEARS volume 6 throws that out the window! By saying that Kann really did love them? Lmfao, whaaaat! The man Vegas claims beat him every day since he was a child whom Vegas hates to the ends of the earth!??!? What are these writers doing?!?!
Also Vegas can speak english, which was NOT a thing in the first 4 volumes. The reason I and many others state that Pete is a masochist (both emotionally & sexually in my eyes) is because there is CONTEXTUAL evidence for it within the book series. Readers can go back through the series and read the many clues that state that Pete is a masochist. You don't get that with Vegas and this lame "plot twist" the writers cooked up for absolutely no reason. Also making his violent, bad side persona speak english? Yeah okay....iykyk.... his violent persona only justifies the things he did in volume 6 not before like yes people with mental illnesses cannot control their behaviors and I say this as someone with Depression. You will do and say things out of your control because you do not have control. People don't like hearing that but it's true anyways.... Vegas' bouts of extreme anger could stem from his depression and abuse at his father's hands that is a valid enough reason. Authors who are extremely talented could pull this off with ease. These authors cannot. Also the dr & psychologists telling Pete that Vegas has DID breaks dr-patient confidentiality!
On Macau: Macau is Vegas' humanity. I know Vegas is not a villain, to see him that way fundamentally misunderstands him as a character. When Show!Pete says that there are no villains nor heroes in life yeah that applies to Vegas. However, Macau is why Pete fell in love with Vegas. Macau shows both Pete and the reader why Vegas is NOT just a villain. Vegas is not out here raping and killing people for fun or ha-has. He looks out for and takes care of and loves his brother always. Macau is why Vegas gets up in the morning, why he put up with their shitty father's abuse.
Macau showed that Vegas could be kind, tender, loving and soft. Pete doesn't always see that (like he did not actually see Macau and Vegas interact a lot but the readers did). Macau is Vegas' heart before Pete & Venice came along and the authors KILL him off???? What are these authors doing?? Readers and watchers of KP know that Vegas does NOT play about his brother. The writers should have killed Vegas because it is literally the same thing. It might have been lost in translation but the scene where Macau dies seems like the police did not care at all. The tone of the scene felt very shallow. The only thing that felt serious was VP's grief. Macau is also not a fleshed out character. What are his hobbies? What does he like to do on the weekends? What kinds of friends does he have? The way Macau is written seems to be ten years younger than he is. He does not seem 18-19 at all.
What I dislike about the writing of the whole book series is that there are no descriptions and no retrospection or introspection for any of the characters. What do Vegas and Pete look like?? Give me details! The writing is shallow e.g "I want a perfect family. I want Vegas. I want freedom" okay Pete but WHY do you want Vegas? Why do you want freedom? Pete never waxes on why he likes pain so much ( I know it is a new revelation for him but a few sentences on why he likes it would have helped). We are also never in a character's head for more than one or two sentences and pov's change mid page.
Pete also says ".... They'd [the major clan] given me loads of money, underlings, and power." Money? If you had a lot of money why did you not leave as soon as you got with Vegas? I know Pete is uber loyal but He does say he wants to start a small business w/Vegas. Underlings? So having a few lowly bodyguards underneath you means a lot Pete?? Lol ok. Power? What kind of power does a bodyguard have??? Pete, Kinn didn't even let you stop tracking Vegas in v3 when Vegas clocked that you were following him & you were scared Vegas would kill you for it?? Pete in the major clan as a bodyguard, you cannot sleep nor eat when you want, what power??
Another thing I hated was that scene with Pete fighting with Vegas' bad personality and the syringe of meds given to Vegas. Lol! That is NOT how that would work. The syringe probably had a sedative but still it was so outlandish!
Themes topics: Love, grief, suicide, pain, mental illness, violence, trauma, freedom, and guilt.
I think this volume just showed how much I did not mind overlooking because Vegas & Pete's relationship and complexity was something that I really, really loved and enjoyed. I desperately want more Vegas & Pete & Venice but I don't trust these authors to give it to me the way that it should be. With grace, consideration, and understanding. Vegas & Pete will always, always hold a special place in my fujoshi heart.

Review of advance copy
Okay I'm not even sure where to start with this other than the fact that, compared to the whole series, it is utterly forgettable and completely disappointing. It is far to short to do anything and it barely followed up on or concluded any of the remaining plot threads left dangling in 5 and still left way too many things open.
Everything with Kim went absolutely nowhere .
The whole Porsche and Vegas investigation plotline was pretty much completely done off page and also went absolutely nowhere.
A new character was introduced with a whole new dimension to the Clan Feud thing which went nowhere.
It even opened up a new plot thread, right at the literal last hour, which, obviously, is going to go nowhere since this is the last one.
To be honest, I think it should have just ended at book 5 with the dangling threads rather than do this and resolve nothing and only open up more.
What's even worse, in my opinion, is the fact that this could have truly been a really interesting journey and story of healing and psychological dives. It opens up a little with Vegas' mental health, but it feels shallow as it never really dives deep enough into it. Pete, himself, says in his narration he might have Stockholm Syndrome, but, again, it's shallow because it's never mentioned again.
Pete's whole storyline was boring, to be honest. His turn was very abrupt and sudden and it just felt like too much happened off the page. Pete's storyline could have been incredibly interesting with him dealing with the conflict of him suddenly being with a man and have conflict about his found Masochism and how that reminds him of the fact his lover has previously held him prisoner, tortured and raped him a year before. Instead all of it is just sort of hand waved away that he's just going to forgive and move on, when in truth that whole ordeal should have caused deep scars. It also could have dealt with his conflict of having to deal with the fact Vegas has another version of him now that is very overtly abusive compared to the usual Vegas who is a lot more affectionate and loving.
Love is not a good enough reason so it would have been great to have a proper exploration as to why Pete is doing this to himself. In the show, Pete can somewhat empathise with Vegas because his father was also abusive, but in this he's an orphan and was raised by loving grandparents so why does he empathise? Why is he putting himself through this? Why has he grown so attached to someone that had treated him so appallingly in the past? I bring up, again, how interesting it would have been to explore the Stockholm Syndrome aspect of it all.
Vegas' storyline really should have been a mix of focus about his investigations with Porsche and also a deep exploration of his mental health and his efforts to change and be a better person for Pete, which conflicts with the extreme actions he is doing when it comes to his work with Porsche. The two instances of him realising the other him had outright hurt Pete and caused him injuries was far too shallow. In the second instance he immediately runs away and then they just move on. There's no real exploration or thoughts about it.
.
AND MACAU?! Finally he is actually a character but, again, is just... a nothing burger. .
Edited in to add actually I really did not like how they retconned Kant to .
I cannot outright say this book is bad. I did actually like seeing Pete, Vegas, Macau and Venice being a little family and the softer moments, even if that took away from what really should have been the focus. But even that irritates me because of the lack of softer moments in 1-5 between Porsche and Kinn, which they did actually do in the show which only makes the show greater. But this book is a mess. It's too short to do anything of value and anything of value it does try to do is either off the page or so shallow that it makes it almost worthless.

Wow, what a way to ruin a series. Daemi didn't know what she wanted to write about. The main story ended the last volume and the story just kept right on going, only Daemi switch the leads to the secondary. This is all Vegas and Pete's story.
The author let a cliff hanger pretty much and then stopped writing the story. She made this whole story about the love story of Kinn and Porsche and then she has switched to Vegas and Pete and she made it sound like Porsche and Kinn aren't going to make it. What? Why would you imply that. Kinn is going to follow his dad and choose business over love. Porsche can't trust the major clan now. It's all a mess.
Then, she sat up all this intrigue and let it all open ended. I suppose being the mob, there will always be something open ended. Vegas and Pete are so happy and it's death at the end to just really ground in how much the author hated this story. That's what I feel like. She put all this work into characters and story and decided to burn it all to the ground and just destroy it all. She became the big bad of the story, the author. Sadly, characters can't fight against the author.
I guess being the mob, nothing good can happen. The world is nothing but pain and power. I guess Mr. Be won and in this story, he was the only real winner. He proved that Power trumps Love in this story. The author just massacred her story. I think the terrible ending pretty much ruined the whole story. Such a shame.
I can't see myself re-reading this ever again and if I did, I would stop at Vol. 5. What a sad sad ending to a story I was interested in.
Poor Pete, he's a masochist and Vegas is a Sadist. It makes for a very brutal relationship. I actually think that the author hates her characters. She certainly enjoys torturing them and not for any good reason. What a disappointment.
The author let a cliff hanger pretty much and then stopped writing the story. She made this whole story about the love story of Kinn and Porsche and then she has switched to Vegas and Pete and she made it sound like Porsche and Kinn aren't going to make it. What? Why would you imply that. Kinn is going to follow his dad and choose business over love. Porsche can't trust the major clan now. It's all a mess.
Then, she sat up all this intrigue and let it all open ended. I suppose being the mob, there will always be something open ended. Vegas and Pete are so happy and it's death at the end to just really ground in how much the author hated this story. That's what I feel like. She put all this work into characters and story and decided to burn it all to the ground and just destroy it all. She became the big bad of the story, the author. Sadly, characters can't fight against the author.

‟the one good thing that i'd never thought actually existed in this world, the one good thing in this dark world of mine, the one blessing in my despicable life, was pete's smile. the word ‛love’ only had meaning to me because of pete.”

What the fuck did I just read? The first five were so good but this book was rushed and confusing. The ending ruined my entire day. Disappointed at this final book and wish I never read the last chapter.
