Skull Island
Banks Wales can’t catch a break.
After losing his son in a failed prison escape scheme, Banks is immediately forced to deal with the stowaways on his plane, Mason and his family. Forced to take them to his private island, he is immediately greeted by Whoyawanmetabe, the mystery man who did odd jobs for him back in America.
Believing at first that the Jamaican native wanted money for his work, he soon learns that his payment plan involves a creepy scheme that will force the Wales and Louisville clans to co-exist or else.
Many will die.
Some will live.
But all will be changed forever.

A cliff hanger.....cant wait to read book 5

The island
Part 4 was dragging a bit too much for me. It didn’t hold my attention like the last three books in the series. Although some very intense secrets got revealed I feel like the story is running in circles with Banks and Mason love story. I’m still rooting for Banks tho and I’m gonna read the next one because I FEEL it will be the last book in the series but we shall see

A very intense ending
This is most definitely a great read. If you haven't read anything by T. Styles I highly recommend that you check her out. I hope this isn't over.

I really enjoyed this book that’s why I took my sweet time reading it. This book showed me that Banks was way smarter than people give him credit for. Mason is very unstable he needs some professional help. Bet is one dysfunctional female. I like Jersey the kids need a little counseling because dealing with all this they going to need it. The Nunez family were silent but deadly the mother Rosa was one force to be reckon with. This book was really good. I just feel Banks can’t win for losing I believe that the reason they stay alive is because of Banks he’s a thinker and he plans things out not Mason. I’m just going to say if you don’t read this series you doing yourself a great injustices. Great job Twisted Mama 🧡🧡🧡

Speechless and lost for word but feeling amazing
This book was recommended by a lady in a book club in I'm and all I can say is THANK YOU MAM! this book was intoxicating the twist and turns the plot twist I would have never thought things would go the way they went. This was a real gutter twisted love tale that end pull at your heart strings in a weird way. The title War fit this book perfectly not only war with the famlies but war within yourself. A lot of questions were answers in book 4. I was piss at Bet but when I think about it I couldnt het or be mad because she told n showed who she was from book one. I cant wait to read part 5.

I can relate to this series.MsBoxer47 is me
Stunned to learn how this played out.confused as to who mr.bolero represents, however still addicted to T Styles way of putting a story together..I never saw this as LGBTQ book, so when I discovered in book 3 that blakeslee and Banks were one n the same I was shocked. I am the mother of a young gay woman(my daughter 20) and I would do anything for her.so this series is personal for me as I've watched my child deal with some of these same issues..way to go Ms. Styles and I look forward to a part 5..it has to be..awesome writing

Yet another rollercoaster ride. Like the kind you get on and immediately don't feel safe and need to get off. The story of the Wales & Lou's is crazy! Twist & turns at every corner. Just when you think you've figured things out and know where the story is going BOOM 💣🔥🔥🔥 another monkey wrench. As with the previous 3 books this book is still very much some sort of hood, suspense filled, psycho-thriller. I love it. I need a Netflix series like NEOOWWWW!!!!

Read 1&2 awhile back got to thinking about them afew days ago and came across 4 so read it without realizing I didn't read 3. But overall I enjoyed the book. Hoping banks and Mason can work things out after what happened at the end looking forward to 5. I think as a team they can do some real damage. I'll be reading 3 until then

Page turner
This whole series had on edge wondering what would happen next to say I was shocked by some of the secrets revealed in the story is an understatement I'm excited to see how it ends

Didn't do it for mev
Wasn't impressed by this installment at all. Big fan of T. Styles, but this one didn't do it for me. War 4 didn't have the same effect as the last 3 books did, almost seemed unnecessary.

Exceptionally good
This series was exceptionally good but that ending confused me. Will there be a 6th part? Bet was scandalous by not telling about Delray. Is this the end of Banks and Mason? Loved it. Waiting on part 5.

It never ends!
I don’t see where it’ll ever be peace for the Lous and Wales. Mason moves so messy, I’m surprised he wasn’t done a long time ago. The fight continues though and we all know The Wales and Lous are stronger together, than apart.

Weird
I guess this is a good mystery. It's weird from the beginning To The end. I can't explain this one. No peace for Banks!

This book read kind of slow and steady... But there was still a lot going on... so many secrets coming out and i mean a lot, people losing their lives that i didn't expect, puzzles being put together, families being destroyed, frienships completely over, new love intrest found and a few other little twist... All this happening in this book had my attention the whole time...
Mason and Banks have the weirdest friendship/enemy relationship... And because of this, their families are caught up in all this unnecessary drama... Not only that... Outsiders are able to use this to their advantage and destroy them with it...
These poor young adults have been dealing with their parents drama for so long... But no one is actually paying attention to all the signs that things are not good or that their mental state is off for a few of them... Some have some devastating issues that they are dealing with in secret because they do not want to burden their parents with anything else... So they are suffering in silence...
The storyline really started to pick up towards the end and then... WOW... I definitely didn't see this coming at all... I thought I had things all figured out... Then this whole twist let me see how wrong I was... and just when it looked like things could possibly get better for everyone... We are hit with this... Now what is going to happen... What has Banks gotten himself into Now...
Well I guess I will have to read part 4 to find out what will happen next...
