This is the third book in the Mad, Bad and dangerous to know series. I was very excited to get my hands on this!!
Alvie starts this amazing story looking for Ed and his wife Tiffany to avenge her dead lover Nino. Alvie disguises herself as Siobhan with a dodgy Irish accent and carrot coloured hair!!
You can’t help but love the craziness of this series. Alivie is a wonderful nutty character, we glimpse back into her childhood and see how it shaped her into the crazy killer she is today.
Yes at times it may be far fetched, but I love reading a book that completely draws you in so much, that you forget about the outside world.
An entertaining book that will make you cringe and laugh out loud!!
Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

Kaip gaila kad ši trečioji dalis buvo tokia sugadinta , grynai knyga apie nieką pasidarė 😳 O taip patiko pirmos dvi dalys!! 💣💥
August 16, 2024
Pirmas sakinys: Taip, aš turiu trūkumų.
Paskutinė trilogijos dalis „Grėsmė Venecijoje“ geresnė nei antroji "Įniršis Romoje" (nes ši nepatiko ir tik sunervino), tačiau nepasiekė to lengvumo ir neadekvatumo kaip pirmoji "Klasta Sicilijoje".
"Dangerous to Know" (toks originalus romano pavadinimas) autorė parodijuoja meksikietišką serialą (). Yra žmogžudystė (), yra šeimos paslaptys, yra veikėjų susitaikymas su savimi ir su aplinkiniais. Tačiau trūksta to absurdo, kaip, pavyzdžiui, "Tegul kraujas liejasi laisvai" (angl. "Let the Blood Run Free"), be to, autorė veda trilogiją link pabaigos. O pabaiga, kaip minėjau, paprasta – Alvė susitaiko su savimi ir tampa daugiau nei pakankamai turtinga, kad galėtų sau leisti viską, ką nori. T. y. tampa normali.
Apibendrinant visą trilogiją: pirma dalis gera, jeigu įjungi durnių, tačiau trijų knygų per daug: būtų užtekę pirmojoje važiuoti ne į "The Ritz" viešbutį, o iš karto keršyti Edui, t. y. prie pirmosios dalies pridėti trečiosios antrą pusę. Būtų gera parodija su laiminga pabaiga.
P. S. Visose knygoje šmėkštelėdavo autorės literatūrinis išsilavinimas (Chloé Esposito Oksfordo universitete baigė anglų kalbos ir literatūros magistro studijas) – buvo smagu pastebėti ir šyptelėti ("Išsirangau pro stoglangį. Drėgnus plaukus kedena vėsus vėjelis. Taip. Taip. Pagaliau laisva. Dabar žinau, kaip 1990 metais jautėsi Mandela. Keturiomis ropoju įkaitusiu skardiniu stogu, galvoju apie kates ir Tenesį Viljamsą", "Įniršis Romoje", 190 p.). Tačiau tokių inkliuzų neužteko, kad galėčiau pasakyti, kad antrąją ir trečiąją dalį skaityti buvo malonu.

I seem to have been waiting for a very VERY long time for the last book in this trilogy! Having adored Mad and Bad because of their over the top, tongue in cheek dark humour I couldn’t wait to see how Alvie’s story concluded…
I do think it’s impossible to get the most of this book without having read Mad and Bad first. Alvie is back in the UK and revenge is uppermost in her mind with a plan in place for her enemies demise. The best dressed serial killer who has knife skills to rival the worlds best sushi chefs is broke and homeless but, as usual, she manages to land on her feet and get closer to her goal. Be aware that this book will NOT follow the expected route and there is plenty of sexual content along the way as our heroine (antagonist?) likes to get her own way so there are plenty of shocks in store here. I’ve come to know and love Alvie throughout the previous books and her foul mouthed, self centred character demands attention once again here. We look into her past more this time and her upbringing makes her behaviour make sense every more this time. She is a product of her upbringing and when Alvie and Beth’s mother appears you can see exactly who is to blame for the characteristics she has developed-the mirror image twins are a perfect example of how the nature/nurture experiment unknowingly carried out by Mavis can turn out!
Dangerous to Know hit the spot for me with its darkly comical moments and a cast of thoroughly brilliant but mostly unlikable characters. I’m sad the trilogy has come to an end but I think the ending was perfect for all that had come before.
I can’t wait to see what Chloé Esposito comes up with next!

I have had this series for so long and honestly I’m just glad to be done with it at this point. This book was just okay, but I’m never reading this series again. Alvina is insane and a half.
September 7, 2024
Ça me paraissait difficile de faire pire que les précédents, mais ce livre m’aura appris que tout est possible.
October 15, 2020
„Dangerous to Know“ follows the adventurs of Alvie, a female serial killer. Alvie had it all – money, handsome boyfriend, no worries. Until she didn’t have it any more, and it leaves her with just one more job to do. So she finds herself in London again, jobless and homeless again but with a plan turning her into Siobhan from Ireland, getting a job at The Savoy and immediately bumping into her target…
But also her past, her worst enemy, is haunting her all the time – what is going to happen with Alvie this time? How much chaos and how big the trail of destruction she’s leaving behind is going to bet his time? Because this embracing and rocking her inner killer puts her into thousand of dangerous but also hilarious situations…
I was incredibly excited to be able to be back in Alvie’s life. The book starts exactly where the last one ended and we accompany – again – our main character on her incredible and crazy journey full of champagne, cocktails, jewellery and death. So incredible and so crazy in fact that you have to roll your eyes but it is also the strongest point of this book, this „something“ that makes it so special and, like with the others, I totally and thoroughly enjoyed it.
As much as I wouldn’t advise to get on the wrong side of Alvie, I think that in „Dangerous to Know“ she slowed down a bit, she was not as free and careless as in the two previous books. She was still absolutely bonkers and if she wanted something, she got it, no matter what, but I had a feeling that there is something holding her back. Did she grow up? Was there this feeling of responsibility for her nephew hidden somewhere deep? Was it her past? As we are given the chance to learn a bit about her past, what has shaped her. I’m not sure, but something was there, something that kept Alvie back. Maybe the fact that Alvina was a softie deep, deep down, just like I predicted in my review of „Mad“??? Nevertheless, our Alvie, even if without moral code, is funny, she's sharp and she knows what she wants, and when she wants something than there is nothing holding her back. She's a real hot mess, a wrecking ball and whenever she appears, it ends with either death or confusion. Her inner monologues are so brilliant that I can't put into words how brilliant they are. She’s also very accident prone and if something is going to happen than you can be sure it's going to happen to our Alvie. She's in some ways mad and she must have seven lives like cats, and you will be keeping your fingers crossed for her to land on her feet.
It is incredibly fast paced story, full of twists, turns and unexpected situations, book that took me by surprise all the time, a story kept me glued to the pages, as I so wanted to know what’s going to happen. Chloe Esposito's writing style is absolutely brilliant. It's sharp and fast - paced and she brings her characters and locations so easily to life. It's entertaining and so very vivid. It's full of dark humour and the scenarios she concocts are probably one of the best I have ever read. And be prepared, this book is going to take you on a real roller - coaster ride where nothing is like you suppose it to be.
The end was for me, to be completely honest, a little too nice, too well rounded for Alvie’s book. I’m not sure what I have expected but probably for it to not to be soooo nice. But - it is gripping, it is thrilling, it is sexy, filthy and full of blood, dangerous, exciting and crazy, over - stepping the boundaries and I simply loved it. It’s a story that is really quite far – fetched but that’s the point, and still a breath of fresh air and let it surprise you – I can truly recommend the series to you.

Este é o livro mais fraquinho da trilogia, mas ainda assim uma ótima leitura.
Esta saga foi completamente incrível, descobri que a mistura de comédia com thriller é a minha favorita, e a história da Alvina é tão única e fascinante que merecia ser adaptada para a televisão.
Neste livro temos a Alvina de sempre, excêntrica, engraçada e fantasticamente particular, que, por fim, chega a conclusões (relacionadas com Tiffany, Nino, Mavis e Beth) e desenvolve-se moralmente.
Seria incrível se existem mais protagonistas como ela, pois é com certeza uma das personagens fictícias mais marcantes que conheci.
Esta é uma daquelas sagas que leria vezes sem conta sem me fartar, pois é qualquer coisa de espetacular.
4⭐ a este livro
5⭐ à saga de Alvina Knightley ✨

This is the final book of the Mad, Bad and dangerous to know trilogy and although it was good I definitely preferred the first two! But overall a good book that wraps some unanswered questions up and loved the trilogy as a whole!
December 25, 2022
A good final third read in the crazy murderous Alvina Knightly trilogy.
The Beginning and middle felt rather slow but the ending has a bit of surprise in it and raps every thing up nicely!
Ending actually has a touch of spirituality in it whereas the rest of the trilogy is all about murder, and revenge.
Left me feeling satisfied and a smile on my face!

The first two books in the Alvie Knightly Trilogy by Chloe Esposito, Mad and Bad, were certainly quite a ride, so I was really looking forward to meeting up with the audacious Alvie once again.
At the beginning of this final instalment in Alvie's story, we find her in a major slump after the 'unfortunate' Nino incident - living in a hostel in north London and surviving on whatever she can scrape together of her seriously dwindled funds, while avoiding the attentions of the police.
Alvie needs to get her act together if she is going to embark on her scheme of revenge against those she considers responsible for her plight, and get what she feels she deserves. To do this she must take on yet another identity - this time as Cork born Irish colleen Siobhan Faelan... dyed ginger hair and all (and in ALL the right places!). The target is wealthy businessman Edwin Forbes, who she hopes to ensnare via his Instagram famous, do-gooder wife, Tiffany...
The story does take a little time to get rolling in this third book before Alvie has fully broken out of her depressive fug, but once she gets going we are off on another mad-cap, darkly comic and blood-letting adventure of the Alvie brand - via sushi-chef knife skills, pug puppy-sitting responsibilities, farcical Venetian escapades, saucy seductions, and murderous Machiavellian schemes, in pursuit of her plan.... which doesn't turn out quite as she intended.
Interestingly, this time around we get to see a different side of Alvie, because she develops feelings which distract her from her goals and cause her to reflect on her past in a way she never has before. The scenes she recalls from her childhood give us an intriguing glimpse into the development of her character and the complicity of her mother in how she has turned out, and it is for this reason that this third book is not as full on as the first two. This is a trade off of sorts on the part of Chloe Esposito, but I rather enjoyed learning more about the Alvie inside as it makes her less of a caricature - and it makes the ending of the book all the better, I think.
It's mad in ways that are unexpected, bad in the form of the dark secrets revealed, and very dangerous for the emotions - everything you need to tie up the threads of the last episode of a trilogy - and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Plenty of laughs too, especially over Alvie's attempts to be spiritual... and Irish.

"I'm flawed. Aren't we all? What's your fatal flaw? Mine? I love too much. I do crazy shit for love, mad and bad and dangerous..."
Alvie Knightly is a serial killer. After a killing spree in Italy last year she's been laying low and evading arrest. But vengeance in the name of her now deceased lover Nino is calling, so she sets about changing her identity and luring her next victim...
What. A. Book. Darkly humorous, thrilling and addictive, Dangerous To Know is an uproarious and strangely uplifting read that I absolutely loved.
Alvie is quite the character. Hilarious, memorable and compelling, I couldn't help but love her. Yes, she's a killer, but she's not a sociopath like Ted Bundy. She knows because she feels bad for some of her murders; like her hot boyfriend Nino. The author writes her with a killer combination - see what I did there? - of twisted evil, humour and emotion, and her magnetism is impossible to resist.
"I think killing her will cheer me up. I've been stuck in a rut this past year. I miss murder."
Alvie takes quite the emotional journey in this book and begins to question some of her choices. Through her narrative and in flashbacks we learn more about her childhood and discover what shaped her into the person she is today. It was a deeper aspect to the story that I wasn't anticipating, but I liked how it showed her in a more sympathetic light and gave us a more complete picture that was the opposite of her murderous deeds.
When I took on the blog tour I didn't realise it is the final installment in a trilogy, and unfortunately I didn't have time to read the first two books. But despite this I never felt confused as the author succinctly catches you up on past events, making it easy to read this as a standalone. That said, I will be buying and reading the other books in the series as I enjoyed this one so much.
I also liked that the author utilises one of my favourite writing techniques in this book by having Alvie addressing the reader. This technique makes it feel like you're listening to a friend, though none of my friends are killers. That I'm aware of anyway.
Fast-paced, salacious and wickedly funny, this is an utterly brilliant book. If you enjoyed Sweetpea, then you'll enjoy this.

In this easy-to-read, light-hearted page- turner, Chloé Esposito writes from the perspective of serial killer Alvie, justifying her one last hit.
This is the last book of a trilogy, but the plot was easy to follow, and Esposito includes plenty of flashbacks to help the reader fill in the gaps to allow the novel to work as a standalone.
The plot is utterly farcical, and I felt it was trying so desperately to entertain it may have gone just a little too far with it for my personal taste.
The same is true for the character development, and I would liken Alvie to how I imagine Vilanelle in Killing Eve would be if played by Phoebe in Friends, and felt a little too caracture.
Despite the light-hearted, jovial style of writing, there are some themes that require trigger warnings; drug and alcohol abuse and explicit sexual references.
I appreciate the novel is a departure from my preferred genre and imagine there will be readers that love it, but whilst it made for an easy bedtime read, it just wasn’t for me.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Penguin Michael Joseph for an eARC in exchange for my honest review and feedback.

I had not encountered Alvie Knightley before I was invited to the tour and so I ended up buying the two previous books in the Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know Trilogy. You could read this as a standalone but you will miss out on Alvie’s previous adventures and how she ends up at the beginning of this book looking for Ed and his Wife Tiff, but first she has to become Siobhan. Alvie is a serial killer and she is clever and uses her wily ways to befriend Tiff so that she can get close to the couple. I found it entertaining and although I don’t usually read this type of book I wanted to keep on reading. When Tiff has a crisis with the baby Alvie sees it as the perfect opportunity to infiltrate their lives.
I liked Alvie’s unpredictability and the very occasional glimpses of her vulnerability. The book uncovers the story behind her family life and the reasons she has become the person she is today. She is brutal, driven woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. If you want a very different kind of escapist read then this is for you its fast, fun and ferocious !

Another wacky, entertaining ride with the extremely bizarre and unpredictable Alvie!
The series continues with a bang – Alvie is out on a mission to get payback for the death of Nino, her lover, and to do so she must track down Ed and Tiffany. If you’ve read the first two books (which I strongly suggest you do before reading this one) you’ll find yourself on familiar ground but as entertaining as ever. A whirlwind adventure where I wondered, at multiple points, ‘what on EARTH is going on?’ – but had a lot of fun at the same time.
Dangerous to Know allows us to glimpse into Alvie’s childhood more and we learn even more about her wild character, but also why she is the way she is… you obviously have to suspend your disbelief for almost all of it, but that’s all part of the fun!
I listened to some of this on audiobook alongside reading the novel and would recommend it – the narration is great and it brings the story to life even more.
Buckle up, you’re in for a fun (and very far-fetched, of course) ride 😉

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for a surprise advanced copy of this book, especially as I have been waiting so long for the final part of the trilogy.
Well, once again this book is pure madness but, like with the others, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The main character is a complete nutter but with this book we finally find out the true reason why she is the way she is.
I have only ever watched clips of Killing Eve but I can imagine Alvie being very similar to them - mad but likeable.
The book is fast paced and makes you want to keep picking it up to find out what is going to happen. I guessed part of Ed's story but was shocked to learn the truth of who he actually is.
I shall definitely look out for more books by this author although I am not sure that my fellow book club members would enjoy them as much as I have.

Funny and so non realistic but who cares. As long as I had a laugh reading it and boy I did have, especially when Alvie sang Taylor Swift on the streets of Venice to earn money for her trip back to London.
Alvie's character is hot mess but somehow always in all that hectic mess she successfully lands on her feet.

I loved the whole trilogy!!! I’m going to miss Alvina Knightly and the LOL moments that occur in all three books. I liked the way this series was wrapped up and enjoyed the third book, Dangerous to Know”!

Dangerous to Know is a deliciously unputdownable read full of sex, lies and murder, what else could you want from a book. It's a must-read book for the summer.

Tu te souviens du Mad de Chloé Esposito ? Un coup de cœur, ouais. Tu te rappelles de sa suite, Bad ? Une bonne lecture sympathique toujours givrée, parfaitement. Laisse-moi à présent t’introduire au dernier opus d’une trilogie qui avait tout pour plaire, et qui s’est vautrée sur la fin. Laisse-moi te parler de Dangerous, la suite de trop.
Un an après les événements douloureux du dernier tome, où Alvie tuait « accidentellement » son petit ami, Nino, à cause d’un bruit suspect dans leur chambre, voilà que la meurtrière experte est sans le sou et sans occupations macabres. Or, cette vie misérable lui pèse et la voici en quête d’une vengeance auprès de Nino, de quoi redorer son image et se rassurer sur ses capacités à tuer. Ni plus ni moins, Alvie la sœur jumelle se lance sur les traces d’une famille qui a fait des torts à Nino par le passé. Un plan invraisemblable et déglingué, une Alvie au sommet de sa forme et une écriture immersive pour accompagner le tout, tu te demandes où le mât blesse.
Dans l’intrigue, et pas qu’un peu. La trilogie autour d’Alvina Knightly n’est pas connue pour se prendre au sérieux ; elle enchaîne situation cocasse sur situation invraisemblable, et jusqu’ici ça ne gênait pas, c’était une agréable caricature d’autres clichés dans le policier. On y ajoutait la soif de plaisir et de sexe d’Alvie, on mélangeait avec de l’action et des gros coups de génie pour voler des œuvres, et le tour était joué. Pourtant, la sauce ne peut que retomber avec ce dernier opus : où est l’action ? Il n’y a que du bavardage, du remplissage pour obtenir difficilement 400 pages. Alvie, un personnage féminin unique par sa façon d’assumer son envie de prendre son pied par le sexe et le sang, Alvie, une sœur jumelle qui défie les clichés et cache une véritable complexité… Alvie qui, ici, perd son authenticité, et par la même occasion, ce qui lui restait de crédibilité, de cohérence.
Des surprises et des retournements de situation, crois-moi donc, il y en aura. Des mauvais tours de passe-passe où tu découvres avec stupeur que ça peut aller de pire en pire. Quand la fin se pointe, et elle met du temps à arriver cette enquiquineuse, tu es juste soulagé de finir ta lecture. En soi, Dangerous n’est pas mal écrit, on y retrouve l’écriture pétillante de Chloé Esposito. Le peu de personnages a un potentiel monstre, les petites lueurs d’intrigue pourraient t’emmener loin, mais la façon d’amener tout ça, le manque cruel de développement autour de chaque personnage et, vraiment, ce besoin de remplir les pages avec du blabla, voici ce qui fait de ce dernier opus un presque flop pour démarrer l’année.
Je ne peux en dire plus sur l’intrigue sans risquer de divulgâcher le peu qu’il y a ; il ne me reste alors qu’à dire que ce tome-ci ne rend ni justice au personnage aussi complexe d’Alvie, ni au style de l’auteure. À deux mots du flop, ou quand le ridicule tue le ridicule…
Note : 2/5

"I'm flawed. Aren't we all? What's your fatal flaw? Mine? I love too much. I do crazy shit for love, mad and bad and dangerous..."
Alvie Knightly is a serial killer. After a killing spree in Italy last year she's been laying low and evading arrest. But vengeance in the name of her now deceased lover Nino is calling, so she sets about changing her identity and luring her next victim...
What. A. Book. Darkly humorous, thrilling and addictive, Dangerous To Know is an uproarious and strangely uplifting read that I absolutely loved.
Alvie is quite the character. Hilarious, memorable and compelling, I couldn't help but love her. Yes, she's a killer, but she's not a sociopath like Ted Bundy. She knows because she feels bad for some of her murders; like her hot boyfriend Nino. The author writes her with a killer combination - see what I did there? - of twisted evil, humour and emotion, and her magnetism is impossible to resist.
"I think killing her will cheer me up. I've been stuck in a rut this past year. I miss murder."
Alvie takes quite the emotional journey in this book and begins to question some of her choices. Through her narrative and in flashbacks we learn more about her childhood and discover what shaped her into the person she is today. It was a deeper aspect to the story that I wasn't anticipating, but I liked how it showed her in a more sympathetic light and gave us a more complete picture that was the opposite of her murderous deeds.
When I took on the blog tour I didn't realise it is the final installment in a trilogy, and unfortunately I didn't have time to read the first two books. But despite this I never felt confused as the author succinctly catches you up on past events, making it easy to read this as a standalone. That said, I will be buying and reading the other books in the series as I enjoyed this one so much.
I also liked that the author utilises one of my favourite writing techniques in this book by having Alvie addressing the reader. This technique makes it feel like you're listening to a friend, though none of my friends are killers. That I'm aware of anyway.
Fast-paced, salacious and wickedly funny, this is an utterly brilliant book. If you enjoyed Sweetpea, then you'll enjoy this.

Desigur! Iată o **recenzie fără spoilere** pentru ***Dangerous to Know*** (*Periculoasă*), volumul final din trilogia scrisă de **Chloé Esposito**:
---
### 💀 **Recenzie fără spoilere – *Dangerous to Know* (Periculoasă), de Chloé Esposito**
*Dangerous to Know* încheie trilogia scandaloasă și explozivă începută cu *Mad* (*Nebună*) și continuată cu *Bad* (*Rea*). Alvie Knightly, protagonista absolut lipsită de scrupule, revine mai periculoasă, mai cinică și mai imprevizibilă ca niciodată. Acest volum aduce o concluzie demnă pentru saga plină de sânge, sex, minciuni și glume acide.
---
### 🎭 **Despre poveste (fără spoilere):**
Alvie se află în centrul unei povești pline de răzbunare, trădări și supraviețuire. Tot ce a făcut până acum o ajunge din urmă, iar ea este nevoită să lupte – și să ucidă – pentru a-și păstra libertatea (și stilul de viață extravagant). Nimic nu e sigur, nimeni nu e de încredere, iar Alvie nu are de gând să joace corect.
---
### 💣 **Ce oferă acest volum:**
* **Un final intens**, cu o avalanșă de întorsături de situație
* **Scene șocante și imprevizibile**, perfect în ton cu stilul trilogiei
* **O Alvie mai dură, mai inteligentă, dar la fel de scandalos de amuzantă**
* **Un mix de thriller, comedie neagră și erotism**, scris cu vervă și sarcasm
---
### ✅ **Pentru cine este recomandată:**
Pentru cititorii care au savurat primele două volume și vor un final care să nu dezamăgească. Este o lectură ideală pentru cei care iubesc anti-eroinele lipsite de filtre morale, poveștile pline de adrenalină și replicile tăioase.
---
### 🎯 **Concluzie:**
*Dangerous to Know* încheie trilogia Alviei într-un mod satisfăcător: cu haos, umor negru și o ultimă doză de nebunie. Nu e o poveste despre dreptate sau iertare – este despre supraviețuire în stil mare. Un final perfect pentru o eroină pe care n-o poți iubi, dar nici uita.
---
Dacă vrei, pot face o comparație rapidă între cele trei volume sau o recomandare similară în același stil.

When I requested this I didn’t know that it was the third book in the mad, bad and dangerous to know trilogy.
With hindsight it would’ve been best to have read the other two books first so as to know where the story was starting from.
There wasn’t much recap but I did enjoy the story nonetheless.
Alvie was a great character. A sex mad serial killer who has a penchant for designer clothes and accessories.
After killing her twin sister and fiancé in the earlier books she’s seeking revenge for the murder of her fiancé’s father and Ed Forbes is the target, although she has to get rid of the wife first.
Alive disguised as Siobhan worms her way on and the story erupts into a series of humorous situations and far fetched storylines from there. Some are so ridiculous it makes it almost believable!
If you loved the sweet pea series then this is one for you. A great end to the trilogy with lots of laughs and sex along the way! Not for the faint hearted

Wow!! I cannot believe that’s the end of the Alvie series! I am completely blown away and found that this has been a book I haven’t been able to put down.
I absolutely did not expect the twists that the author has thrown at me during this one. I literally have been speechless more than once.
Alvie has been a brilliant main character. Despite all her flaws and negatives, you can’t help but like her. She truly is one of those marmite characters.
I absolutely love that we’ve continued her journey in this book. Although, I’m sad that the series has come to an end.
This is definitely a great author who I am a fan of! I have really enjoyed reading this book and for me it is definitely a strong four star read.

This is the final book in the outrageous, rude, hysterical, crazy world of Alvie Knightly and you really do need to read these books in order to understand who Alvie really is.
Dangerous To Know finds Alvie lying low in a grotty hostel in Holloway, London one year after her killing spree across Europe biding her time to get revenge for her dead lover Nino. There’s no nice way to put this but I think Alvie is batsh*t crazy, utterly hysterical, completely ruthless, balls of steel with an insatiable sexual appetite (think Sweetpea on Viagra!)
This third and final book in the thoroughly entertaining trilogy explores Alvie’s childhood and her relationship with her mother and whilst we don’t necessarily agree with killing people, this insight sheds some light on why Alvie behaves the way she does.
There were several moments I laughed out loud, one or two where I gasped in horror and at least one where I shouted “OH MY GOD”. A thoroughly entertaining and brilliant ending to a great series and I look forward to reading any future books by Chloe.
