What a great conclusion to this mystery! I am almost exhausted from reading as the storylines kept me so intrigued that I had a hard time taking a break in between the books. Emersyn Vallis certainly can write, and I think this was a great start for her new writing career. I loved her creativity with this series -it was full of mystery, passion, and my goodness, it has so much incredible depth and detail to it.
My favorite of Vallis’s writing is how well she developed her unique characters. I went from total confusion with them to being a complete fan and enjoying them all in the story. Each had such depth and were topped off with wit, humor, fun and quirky behaviors which made them more relatable and down to earth. Although Simon and Sydney were the main characters, I really enjoyed watching how everyone’s relationship evolved and was connected and how there was so much additional story for all of them as friends, lovers, and family.
Simon and Sydney’s relationship blossomed so much throughout the series. I loved the slow burn and passion between them as well as their back and forth banter. I found myself really rooting for them and their HEA as their relationship grew, and it was made even more touching once I understood everything they had been through together!
As I reflect on this series, I do wonder if it was too wordy or too long. Although it came close at some points for me (except book 2 which was a lot shorter), I can’t come up with an answer when I think about what should or could have been omitted. After the initial book, I wasn’t bothered with wordiness as much, and I think the flow in each one improved throughout the series. I really enjoyed all the details, and I don’t mind that it was a longer series. The plot development in each book’s storyline and characters definitely pulled me in, built my intrigue, and made the story complete.
I definitely recommend checking out this series - it is unique, engaging, and such a great story! As a side note, I also have to admit that I am a huge fan of the Reece’s cups too, so it’s even more of a win-win for me (when you read it you will see what I am talking about here). I am curious to see what Vallis’s creative writing brings next!

Favorite Quotes:
“It’s ironic that when you can see the end of your life coming everything becomes so much clearer. You find beauty in the small things and realize that time was really always on your side; you just didn’t seize the opportunities it offered because greed kept you always thinking there would be more.”
“Love has a strange way of making you feel massive and insignificant at the same time.”
“I mentally kill her at least twenty times a day. Sometimes, I pretend I’m a doctor and I kill her, only to bring her back to life so I can do it again.”
“Looks like someone woke up on the smartass side of the bed.”
“I could easily drown myself in you and never care about coming up for air.”
My Review:
End Game was aptly named as it brought an interesting and satisfying conclusion to this ingeniously well-crafted, steamy, and suspenseful epic. 1538 pages of highly addictive, deliciously intriguing, and down-right enthralling entertainment. Although I initially doubted his quality in book one, I want a Simon of my own. Emersyn Vallis has mad skills and I hope she continues to share them with us. Her characters are well fleshed out, original, high strung and uniquely quirky, yet still oddly appealing. I appreciate the effort and complexity of the humor and mystery which were initially a bit confusing, but always extremely intriguing and clever with chilling, smartly hidden, and casually dropped clues interwoven throughout the four books. My only complaint is that I now have an intense craving for peanut butter cups. I sincerely hope Ms. Vallis is hard at work on her next series.

I had the honor of BETA reading this book! All I can say is WOW!! I can't say too much because I don't want to spoil anything. Emersyn is brilliant! I LOVED this whole series. I always describe it that it feels like I'm watching the show Friends. The humor and banter from this group is just terrific and add some mystery and suspense. I laughed and cried so full of emotion. It's a definite must read!!!

(¸¸.♥➷♥•*¨)My Review of End Game by Emersyn Vallis (¸¸.♥➷♥•*¨)
I am so sad that this is the last book in the series. I am sad that I will not get to read more about Sidney and Simon, Morgan and Chase, and Molly and Dean. Of course I love the other characters too, but I loved these characters the most. I felt like Mea was my little sister. I have no idea how since typically the reader takes the position of the main character. The main character (Sidney) is younger than Mea. I am not sure why I feel like Mea would be my little sister, but I do, so, yeah. For the life of me, the entire series, I could not paint a clear picture on my head of Josh. The second book created the best picture in my head, but once you go into the third book, my image of him became skewed. I just realized my reviews are totally random. Ha! Anyway, I am so happy that the mystery that has been building up since the first book has finally revealed itself. I would have never guessed most of the secrets that were revealed, although I had a feeling about Lady not being Mea’s real mother. They were absolutely too different. Lady was a disgusting, vile creature and Mea was a sweet (almost ditsy) angel. I am glad that I reconciled my feelings with Mea’s dad too. I was so mad at him during book 2. Now that I know why he did what he did, I completely understand and I highly doubt that I would have been able to come up with a better plan myself. Well, not a better one that didn’t involve some of Lady’s own tactics :D I cannot tell you how many times I thought Patrick was a traitor, a savior, a traitor, and savior. It almost gave me headache each time he seemed to flip flop. I love, love, love that Pia isn’t as bad as we all originally thought. I also love that Sidney can still act like she is. I really want to try a Madness. It sounds AMAZEBALLS! I have to say that I am so happy with the ending. It could not have been freaking better. The setting of where the end took place? Priceless. Madness telling Sidney not to do what she did? Precious. I would have totally done the same thing. Sidney is such a stubborn girl. I love Simon, but I must say that all three brothers are dumbasses. Why? All you have to do to answer that question is read the books. I found myself laughing out loud so many times at this series, I am going to miss it. Walking around with a smirk on my face and my husband looking at me like WTF? Oh honey, you have no idea. This story right here? It’s like a whole different world. Another reality where my friends are awesome and I have a social life. Emersyn, you are a flipping genius! I am so thankful that I agreed to review your books. I love them so much I am buying my own copies. I think I will do a giveaway as well. Sounds like a good idea. I have got to share this with someone! Everyone! I love these characters! I love the story, the scenery, everything. I just can’t. I have no words to describe how this book series has moved me, made me feel in general, and take a look at my own life. I want what they have. A awesome, yet screwed up life. Without the extreme danger though. I can do without that LOL! Please keep writing. I will definitely keep reading. I love your work. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for writing this amazing story for us to read. I know what you meant in your acknowledgements now. I am sure that as a writer you will always have your fans asking for more even if you don’t plan to write more on a given series. Can’t blame us though! I would read it forever!!

“It’s been one fucking Madness kind of day.”
~ Simon
As I sit here contemplating how I want to write my review without giving any spoilers away, I am sipping on my very own Madness. I don’t think I will ever refer to Bailey’s as anything but Madness after reading and falling in love with this series. End Game is the perfect ending to this amazing series.
All my questions were answered and yet the author still managed to throw in twists and turns and surprise me again and again. I did not see some of the revelations coming and that’s what makes these books and especially End Game unique to me. I am the type of reader who can usually figure out what is going to happen well before it does but with this author and her books, she has kept me on my toes and guessing the entire series.
This book will grab you from the beginning and starts off right where Sacrifice ended. It will not let you go until it is over. I was wishing that it would just keep going because I was not ready for this series to end. I know I am going to miss this cast of characters. They are all amazing characters and well written. They make you laugh, cry and want to pour your own Madness while you read.
Sidney is one of my favorite heroines ever. She is confident but still vulnerable. She is sarcastic and a match to her hero, Simon, in every way possible. She is just such a great character to get lost in.
Simon…all I really have to say about Simon is HE IS MINE!!!! Simon has made it to my top 10 book boyfriends and this book just shows his spirit and character even more. He is so in love with Sidney that he would do absolutely anything for her and he has. We come to find out all that he has done and it just blew my mind that he was willing to do everything he did just to protect Sidney.
I am so sad to see this series end because these characters are just so amazing. The author has grown in her writing with each book and End Game is truly a great way to end the series. I highlighted so many great quotes in this book that are such words of wisdom for life in general. I recommend this entire series to anyone who is a fan of reading! That’s how much I FLOVE it!!!
“There are times in life when you just have to give into Fate and trust that it will bring you where you need to be. You just have to believe that Fate has a plan… Because, in reality we’re all walking a parallel line to that one person who is going to change our entire existence when our lines finally cross…”

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
Books written in first person are a hit-or-miss thing for me. There are a few authors that have forced me to overcome my first-person phobia (yes, that’s a thing). Emersyn Vallis is one of them. Where some authors “talk AT you”, Emersyn Vallis “talks TO you.” She pulls you in and allows you to become a part of the story as if you are living it right alongside the characters.
Endgame is the perfect title for the fourth book in the series. All the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place, all the players and pawns accounted for, and it’s time to end the cat-and-mouse game once and for all. Can Sidney, Simon, and their band of merry accomplices come out on top and find their happily ever afters?
The entire series is centered around Sidney Chandler (a snarky, sarcastic, panic attack prone, make-up artist with a serious peanut butter cup addiction), Simon McAllister (one third of the McAllister triplets, Sidney’s sexy arrogant ex, who still holds her heart), and a long history of events that tore them apart.
Sidney is completely lovable, full of angst and a hair trigger temper she tries desperately to control. Simon is one of those characters you’re not sure how to read. He’s an enigma, but you can’t help but hate love him so hard.
It doesn’t end with them. Every single secondary character, plays an integral part in the history that was once S&S. There’s Sidney’s older sisters – twins Morgan and Molly (both of whom have a penchant for violence, dirty Shirley Temples, and may or may not need medication). Lexi, Sidney’s business partner, best friend and roommate (an avid reader and alien conspiracy theorist, who doesn’t hear half the innuendo that comes out of her mouth). Simon’s womb mates Chase (the know it all) and Dean (the “weak” one)–both are just as hot and intriguing as Simon. Sidney’s mother- aka Madness (who has a Bailey’s addiction), the triplet’s mother Judith aka Pain in the A**, Sidney’s Grams (who has no filter and I really want to be just like her when I grow up), their friends Josh, Brett, Jacob, and Mea… and a few surprise characters along the way. I won’t spoil it.
Full of suspense, snarky humor, intrigue, intelligence, complex characters and plot line–The Fated Series is a roller coaster ride to the very end. With plenty of sexy times, secondary relationships, laughs, tears, and surprises along the way to make it a ride you don’t want to miss.
Embrace the Cups and Fear the Madness–do yourself a favor read this series! Well done Emersyn Vallis I really hated to see it end. I highly recommend the entire series and will read it again.

Review on behalf of The Book Boyfriend Addict
“You of all people should know I don’t do anything out of guilt. I did it because I’m irrationally, disturbingly, and uncontrollably in love with you.” I press my lips together. “So I hope you are aware what you just got yourself into.”
After the cliffhanger in book 3 I couldn’t wait to start book 4 which picks up right where it left off. You jump right into the action with this book. Being the last of the series it is filled with all plot twist and turns. Have I mentioned yet in these reviews how much I love these characters. Sydney is so much stronger than anyone gives her credit for and she is willing to sacrifice everything to make sure the people she loves will be safe. Her sense of family and loyalty is continually tested and she proves time and time again how much she loves them all.
“I’ve always know loving you would cost me my heart. I told you I will always sacrifice myself for you”
The drama and the action in this book is so well thought out and even the smallest events in the earlier books all come back to tie together. There is only so much I can say about this particular book without causing any spoilers and trust me the series is so good you wouldn’t want it ruined. Even with all the chaos and danger that is surrounding them the humor is still top notch.
“Why are you hugging me?” I tap her arms to make her stop. “I can’t breathe…you’re crushing me with your love, please stop it,”
Even Judith aka Pia has grown on me in these books and that is saying a lot!! You would think that with a cast of characters so large that it would be hard to focus on the main characters or that there would be too many side plots but there aren’t. Each character adds a piece to the puzzle and plays an important role in the story. With each secret revealed you get closer and closer to the motives behind the game the villain is playing.
This series won’t take you long to read however it is worth your time. If you have Kindle Unlimited you’re in luck because it is part of that and if not the books are worth the price tag. We really like to support indie authors on the blog and I am so glad that Emersyn contacted us with the opportunity to read the books in exchange for an honest review.
“I didn’t care about much in this life but you’ve always been the one thing I couldn’t let go. I’m a selfish bastard when it comes to you, Pet. I want you completely and, to be honest, I don’t care what I have to do to get what I want,”

PERFECT ENDING! PERFECT! Of the hundreds of ideas running through my head about how this amazing series was going to end, this was by far the best possible ending and exceeded all of my expectations! This book had me laughing hysterically, smirking at their banter and antics toward one another, swooning from the sweet things said, and also needing to punch someone so bad!! I am telling you this book is just MORE, and I am SO sad this series is over but will forever be attached these amazing, beautiful, and hilarious families!
*if you haven't read Adjournment, Hanging Pawns, & Sacrifice stop reading this review NOW**
"You know those times in life I'm always talking about? This is one of those, when the events around you cause you to change and parts of yourself that you thought were gone come back with a vengeance."
Sidney and Simon were supposed to finally be able to be happy and together. But not everything is what it seems. And not everyone is who you think they are. We pick up right where Sacrifice ended and Sidney has just chosen to sacrifice herself for Simon. She is willing to be the pawn sacrificed for everyone. But there are so many things she doesn't know. Some things that others do know. The family has to stand strong and trust one another. Trust the decision they made to keep one another safe.
"You would sacrifice yourself for me?" . . . "Every time."
Is their love strong enough to get them through this new obstacle? Can they face danger together? Will their family and friends support them or will their families shatter from all of the lies and deceit of the past. Will they be happy when this game ends? Or was the sacrifices they all made for nothing?
"Fairytales aren't always easy… But it's the ones that endure the most that come out victorious that have the best endings…"
How can I say so much and not give anything away?! Oh that epilogue! Beautiful! I devoured every word! If you haven't started the Fate Series you are seriously missing out. I love all of these characters and could probably continue reading them forever. I am SO sad this series has come to an end but they will always be in my re-read list! Every character has an interesting personality and put all together it is just that much more. It is so much more than Sidney and Simon's story! I LOVE them all! Do yourself a favor and grab every book in this series today! Beautiful series Emersyn!
*if you haven't read Adjournment, Hanging Pawns, & Sacrifice stop reading this review NOW**
"You know those times in life I'm always talking about? This is one of those, when the events around you cause you to change and parts of yourself that you thought were gone come back with a vengeance."
Sidney and Simon were supposed to finally be able to be happy and together. But not everything is what it seems. And not everyone is who you think they are. We pick up right where Sacrifice ended and Sidney has just chosen to sacrifice herself for Simon. She is willing to be the pawn sacrificed for everyone. But there are so many things she doesn't know. Some things that others do know. The family has to stand strong and trust one another. Trust the decision they made to keep one another safe.
"You would sacrifice yourself for me?" . . . "Every time."
Is their love strong enough to get them through this new obstacle? Can they face danger together? Will their family and friends support them or will their families shatter from all of the lies and deceit of the past. Will they be happy when this game ends? Or was the sacrifices they all made for nothing?
"Fairytales aren't always easy… But it's the ones that endure the most that come out victorious that have the best endings…"

Arc received in exchange for an honest review.
This is the final book in the Fate Series by Emersyn Vallis, and like all the others is chock full of gasps, laughs, WHAT THE's and well..... Sydney and Simon along with their delightful siblings and friends. I have been a huge fan of all 4 of these books, so I must say thanks to Ms Vallis for the opportunity to read and review, I do love when a new author blows me away and keeps me hooked right through all 4 books.
So without giving anything away with this final story, I will say the ending is perfect! So much truly happens during End Game, that I struggle to give a run down of it without blowing the whole experience to anyone who hasn't read it. But I will say, it is not what you expect.
End Game literally begins where Sacrifice ends, with Sydney having to make a decision about saving her life or taking Simon's.... and at the hands of Lady, the one woman Sydney has always despised. But in typical Sydney style, a murder plot against her is never going to be easy. She is famous for not being able to keep her mouth shut, and this time is no different. So in her out there, bug mouth cut down way she gives everything back to Lady.
It is after her escape that she along with her family and friends find out what they thought they all knew is not as it seems. Filled with more questions than answers this was a "pay attention" part of the story that I had to re read on a number of pages because my mind would drift off, but somehow it still kept me hooked. I believe a huge part of this is because of Sydney's infectious character. She cracks me up with her don't mess with me attitude, fowl mouth and quick wit. And of course Molly and Morgan, no one does sibling rivalry like these 3, I just love them. I can't also forget the McAlister triplets, Simon, Chase and Dean, I'm sure they were put in this earth to irritate, love, and make the Chandler girls fall in love with them.
I can give no more without ruining the whole plot, so I will finish this off with a well deserved 4 stars.

Incredibly twisty, funny and satisfying…
“Fairytales aren’t always easy… But it’s the ones that endure the most and come out victorious that have the best endings…”
I knew this series was going to be special as I devoured each book in turn and savoured them for their unique storyline, complex characters and sarcastic, caustic wit. This is the final installment where all questions are answered through an emotional, roller coaster ride of a climax. If you haven’t read the previous books, drop this one and start at the beginning. You will be glad you did.
Sidney and Simon have gone through so much already. Separated for years they found each other once again. Amidst the chaos of their tangled, maddening, frustrating and wonderfully loyal family and friends they are challenged to be honest to themselves and each other. Appearances are not always what they seem and betrayal is not new to them. Beginning and ending with life-threatening events they must make choices that may separate them forever. Will their love carry them through the danger they face? Will their family rally to support them or be the tools to shatter their love once and for all?
The final book in this series blew me away! As usual, the twists keep coming one after the other delivered in a sarcastic tone that made the love more poignant and the craziness seem oh so normal. Entertaining is a mild way of saying the author kept me on the edge of my seat and furiously reading page after page. If I heard the plot explained in the barest of detail I would be probably wondering what soap opera this was pulled from but the telling is made authentic and real by great storytelling, natural dialogue and a host of characters that are likable and smackable at the same time.
This author has bubbled to the top of my stalker list. Five bright shining stars!

First things first - the first three books Adjournment, Hanging Pawns, and Sacrifice must be read prior to reading End Game. Should you pick-up this book before the others you will be lost, frustrated, and scratching your head in confusion! With that being said, I will attempt to post a non-spoiler review pertaining to the series.
After years of being separated, Sidney and Simon find each other once more. And find the love they have shared from the beginning. The emotional string that ties these two together is just completely unbreakable. After everything this couple has gone through, they somehow always find their way back to each other. Their love is unbreakable, And is put to the test in End Game. With Fate keeping their lives in turmoil will it ultimately help them, or hinder them in the end?
Without giving anything away I will say that End Game had many more twists than any of the other books in the series. Emersyn really kept the reader in full suspense mode on each page. It was full of suspense, romance, questions (that do get answered!), and all sorts of memorable moments throughout the book. It was a wonderful read, and really makes the reader pause for a moment to take in everything that happens in this series. The characters have just really blossomed from Adjournment and not one second was wasted on these books.
This was a great ending to the Fate Series by Emersyn Vallis. Questions were answered that were driving me nuts, jokes were to be had by all the characters, and the suspense that lingered on each page was a rewarding ending to this series. I will miss Sidney and Simon, and their playful banter between one another. This is a definite go back, and read series for me, and I cannot thank Emersyn enough for her wonderful work that she has brought to the literary world!
A very well deserved 5 Bars for Emersyn Vallis!

So many emotions right now! Brain.Won't.Work!
So much happens! I went through so many emotions in this story that I'm in need of a Madness! Yes, this is in reference to the story and no I won't explain more, you'll just have to read it! Mwahahahahaha ( Evil laugh in case you didn't get that)
Holy smokes what a series! Completely intriguing, entertaining, mind boggling entertainment. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the element of surprise, continuous guessing, twist, turns, ups, down, left, right and backwards. Pieces coming together you never expected, surprises that leaving you turning the page fast then before. Be prepared to have time to read when you start this because without a doubt you will not want to stop.
The character development, dialect, relationships, friendships, and overall entertainment between the main characters is enough to read it before you even add the element of the game. I absolutely love that each relationship you see throughout book has its own dynamic yet fits perfectly with the people themselves. It was absolutely wondering to finally reach the check mate and have it all laid out in front of you.
Wonderful wonderful job by Emersyn Vallis. I am a bit curious what she originally had in store for Sidney's story as she said in the acknowledgement it changed from what it started as
5 stars. Wow what a great ending to the series!!! This series was so much fun to read, I enjoyed every page of it!!
I cant wait for new book by this Author she is truly amazing at what she does.

“It’s amazing how along with age and experience also comes fear and wariness. When we’re young, we trust everyone because we don’t know what it’s like to have that trust broken.”
5 stars. Wow what a great ending to the series!!! This series was so much fun to read, I enjoyed every page of it!!
Once upon time, there were two girls living their lives completely unaware of one another and the dangerous game they had been placed in…
Until Fate found them…
Fate saved them, made them stronger & with time, Fate brought them together to become friends rather than enemies…
Until a cruel Queen made her move, threatened the Knight,
And an innocent Pawn was sacrificed.
Now the game is in our hands…
Fate might have set us up for this… but we control the moves now…
And we have our own plan.
Revenge.
After spending years of being separated from each other Sidney and Simon find each other again. And fall in love with each other all over again. After all the ups and downs, they always seem to find each other and fall right back in love with each other again. But like most books, their undying love for each other is tested. This book was amazing, this series was amazing and I don’t want to give away too much, but this book is intense!! I loved it!!

Well this was an end game to end all end games and the author brought the series to a conclusion with a humdinger of a book.
The story was completely engaging, totally confusing but highly addictive. There were so many twists and turns that at times it was impossible to know which way was up!
I love the way this author writes, the totality with which she is not only willing but able to bring events and characters full circle.
Each characters had their time in the light, none of them were secondary so to speak, they all had a part to play in the story and as the end game drew to a conclusion each of them slipped into place.
This was a cleverly creative, the friendships that were formed and explored were dynamic, the tone of the work and the expressiveness of not just the characters but their vocabulary will hold you hostage.
I can honestly say that of the series this was my favourite book, it gave me mystery, it gave me closure, it gave me characters that I didn’t want to say goodbye too and all that within the confines of a story that is completely original. You played your cards close to your chest Ms Vallis and out foxed me, I couldn’t see where the ending was coming from and there were more than a few spanners along the way
Super work Ms Vallis. You are on my one click radar now, I look forward to seeing what you have tucked up your sleeve

Sidney's biggest worry was weather or not she was going to be bid on. Sidney told Lady that any Pawn can become a Queen and go any where and make any move that she wants. Sidney, Molly and Morgan all are known for there temper. Sidney made a decision that she was going to protect her family no matter the cost. All Simon wants is to be with Sidney and when he found out what she did he wasn't happy. This is Sidney and Simons story.
Sidney is Molly and Morgan's sister, she is known as the weak Chandler. She is a Makeup Artist and Lives with her best friend Lexi. She also has a fish allergy. Lay is crazy, she is Mea's mother. She wants the Chandler's to suffer. Patrick always does what he is told, he is trying to help Sidney. Judith is Simon, Chase and Dean's mother. Mea is Sidney, Lexi, Molly and Morgan's friend. Josh is friends with Simon, Chase, Dean and Patrick. Morgan is Sidney's sister.
This is the fourth book in the Fate Series. This series has to be read in order in order to understand what is happening in this book. This is another very well written story by Emersyn Vallis. I found it very hard to put this book down. This is one book that I know I will be able to read again.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
Wow, just wow. It's going to be hard to review this without giving away spoilers. When I read the 3rd book, I just thought it was my favorite but this one completely blew me away! So at the end of the third book we realize Lady Carmichael is behind the chess board and pieces showing up as well as other things through out the series. This book goes in-depth of most of her crimes and let me tell you, she's one wicked Lady! Heart pounding revelations are given and you won't see most of them coming. Gram and Sidney make you bust out laughing. The girls constantly fight and make fun of each other. You see Simon's and well all the boys, Chase and Dean's love shine through. But after Sidney's sacrifice in the last book...
'Yeah, love can make you do really crazy things . . . Like sacrifice yourself for the man you love.'
You realize just how incredibly she really is. Every character plays an important part and you come to realize one is not an enemy like you thought. There is so much left to say but you can't without giving away the best parts. Love this book!
This is one of those books you read over and over again!

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian – I Dig Good Books
*I received a copy of this book from Enticing Journey in exchange for a fair and honest review.*
Wow! Emersyn does an incredible job with the plot twists, turns, and nail biting scenes. This book definitely doesn’t disappoint. She is an author that leaves you guessing at each turn and I can promise when that turn comes something completely different will happen then what you expect to happen. This isn’t a “relaxing” sort of read but it’s a great read.
This book is full of twists and turns but it is also full of emotions. You will be happy and excited one moment then wanting to throw your kindle across the room another. Simon and Sidney are two characters that will constantly keep your heart beating!
This is a one of a kind story full of surprises and cliff hangers for the previous books, but it is a very well written series. I’m definitely glad I was able to read each story and look forward to reading more of Emersyn’s work in the future.

*A Copy of this Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review*
Just as to enjoy Book Three you must have read the first two, here you absolutely must read the three before End Game.
Even having just read Sacrifice, Book Three in the fate series I found it necessary to read twice the first three chapters of this book. That is why I only give it four stars. The story and writing from Chapter Four to the end are well worth five, but I was annoyed to find I was ‘lost’ a couple of times in the beginning and had to re-read that part.
Of all the possible endings the author could have come up with for the series the one chosen is brilliant and you will be left with all your questions answered. Well done Emersyn Vallis.

Get ready for one incredible, unforgettable ending for one helluva series.
The gang is facing their worse enemey, secrets are revealed and lives have changed. But the ending is not easy as it seems, you know this gang of family and friends have to get into trouble and some funny situations will happen like they know how to.
Sydney will have to for the second time asked to sacrificed a loved one but the evil witch doesn't realized this group is so closed she has to fight them all or none at all.
If you had asked me how do I see this series ending, not once in my life would have imagined the perfect ending. I love how this book/series made me smile one minute, holding my breath the next that is what a good book should have the perfect balance.
I recommend for you to read this series you will not want to miss it.

So many emotions right now! Brain.Won't.Work!
End Game is the final book in the Fate series and it's explosive! (Courtesy of Morgan)
So much happens! I went through so many emotions in this story that I'm in need of a Madness! Yes, this is in reference to the story and no I won't explain more, you'll just have to read it! Mwahahahahaha ( Evil laugh in case you didn't get that)
Back to the story , er review. At the end of Sacrifice ( third book) I was left confused and may have mentioned something about finding someone, with a possibility of a shoe threat in there if I didn't get answers. Well I got them so all is well!
As well as all the answers being given, a whole lot of that amazing wit and sarcasm is back and at it's best. The characters in this book really are some of the best I have ever had the pleasure to read.
Not only did this story bring more laughter, it also brought with it some tearful moments.
The Fate series isn't one to miss!

This is the BEST ENDING!!! No cliffhanger on this :)
This brings us to the END GAME and we know that Lady is completely crazy. The whole time I read I thought I knew what was going next to to be shocked and find out I was still confused and didn't know what was going on. I was seriously yelling "WHO IS THE BAD GUYS" and "OH MY GOD THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS" lol The laughs kept coming along with some suspense, romance in a BIG way, and everything in between. Right now I am wishing everyone had read all of the books so I could write without spoiling anything but it is a series (yes series) that you need to read. Move this baby up to the top of your TBR list and dive in asap. I need a Madness right now (this is a drink in the series) this book has left me at a loss for works. It pulls at your emotions and I am so glad that my loved characters got their happy ever after. Go grab the whole series and read them all. I don't think you will be sorry.

The series finally comes to full circle in this book. The answers you have been waiting for are right here. I was amazed how everything was connected in some way. I was deeply disturbed by the crazy lady. During this whole series, I was never able to get the chess reference because I've never played. I did get that if you wait and be patient things will come. This is a great story and I'll definitely be reading more from this author.
Blurb:
Once upon time, there were two girls living their lives completely unaware of one another and the dangerous game they had been placed in…
Until Fate found them…
Fate saved them, made them stronger & with time, Fate brought them together to become friends rather than enemies…
Until a cruel Queen made her move, threatened the Knight,
And an innocent Pawn was sacrificed.
Now the game is in our hands…
Fate might have set us up for this… but we control the moves now…
And we have our own plan.
Revenge.

Who knew high society is not for everyone??
I received this book as an ARC.
This story continues to lead us on Sidney’s journey through her job as a makeup artist and dealing with family, both hers and Simon’s. I love how Sidney’s friends are unconditionally loyal. The pieces of the mysterious puzzle start to come together but it takes a while for Sidney to put them all together to make sense. Family members previously thought of as enemies become allies in this intriguing love story/mystery. Sidney has to make some serious life-altering decisions without all the facts that she has to accept. This story takes the reader on a ride within a society most of us know nothing about. It has an ending that we certainly did not anticipate. I love how everything comes together between Sidney and Simon, Sidney and her family, as well as Mea and her family. Expect the unexpected in this book!

End Game by Emersyn Vallis
O.M.G
I have loved every minute of reading this series, I can truly say I'm absolutely gutted I've finished.
I have never read a book so hilarious but so full of suspense as well, one minute your laughing your head of the next your sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen.
As I've said this is the final book in the series (I think) It answers all your confusing questions of Sidney and Simon's relationship along with other things. It will keep you gripped from start to finish as the suspense will kill you not knowing. It also throws some twists and turns.
I have loved every character yes even that evil women Lady they all fit together perfectly. No one is just a figure in this story every character plays a part.
I would loved for this series to go on and on, but I know that can't happen, I'm really gonna miss Sidney.

Reviewing for Kylie’s Fiction Addiction.
End Game (The Fate Series Book 4)
First thing I’ll say: What a perfect way to end a brilliant series. Everything got answered and Emersyn was still surprising! Until you get to certain points you won’t even know there’s a plot twist but boy is there! As with every book is in this series, the writing is excellent. Emersyn is such a brilliant writer and this series is just proof of that. I’ll keep this short and sweet, the characters are perfect, especially Sidney. One of the strongest heroine’s I’ve ever read but yet you can still see that she is vulnerable. Together with Simon, they are unstoppable. End Game is a perfect end to an amazing series. It’s one of those series that you are able to get lost in.
5 well deserved stars.

Fantastic!!! I am completely at loss for words, I couldn't have imagined all that was revealed and loved all the suspense. I love how the story ended Simon knows exactly what to say to the girl he loves. This series is truly a must read, this book really took the cake. I'm glad Lady got what she deserved even though I would've liked Sidney to rough her up a bit more hehe that's just me. I Hope that there will be more to come because the characters are amazing. The author really gave it her all and blew me away with this story line. You really need to read the series to understand the what I mean. Thanks to Sidney and Grams I now have a craving for reese's peanut butter cups and added new words to my vocabulary.

My Rating: 5 Stars
REVIEW
Everything that has been happening, everything everyone thought they knew all becomes known in this book. Mea learns so much, Sidney well she is Sidney and all are at her side after Lady makes a huge threat. All the lies and truths come to light but who will still be standing in the end?
This book was good I think of the four it was my favorite. Although it does need some grammar, issues fixed.
I was gifted this book for my honest review.

~~~~~~~~~~~Patricia's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
Well in this book we figure out how all things are tied together. We find out why Mea is done the way she was years ago. Why Lady is so obsessed with the Chandlers and The McAllister's. Will the end results be what you expect I doubt it because all of what you thought is not what it is. This book has so many twist and turns you wonder who is behind what and who is friend or foe at one point. Will the Chandler's and McAllister's finally get their HEA or will Fate have a different route for them to travel. This book keeps you hooked and trying to figure out the next move.
