Truce 4: The Finale
Can a never-ending War really lead to a Truce?
It’s true, Banks Wales is back with a vengeance. After regaining most of his memories, he makes it his business to resume his regularly scheduled program.
Getting his family to the new and improved Wales Island.
But when a blast from the past with a vendetta learns of his plans, he releases Baltimore’s grimiest hoodlums, which cause Banks more problems than he can foresee.
But outsiders are not his only concern.
Although the Wales clan tries their hardest to stick with Banks’ program, they soon allow their personal lives and circumstances to interfere. In the end blood and tears are shed as evil closes in on this family.
Not every Wales will make it to paradise.
Truce 4 applies pressure.
This is an emotional ride.

Only T. Styles could pen a Happily Ever After like this. It was definitely an ending suitable for a Lou and Wales. Throughout the book there is this reference to the two childhood friends sitting outside on the porch. We learned later on what the conversation was that day on the porch and it definitely came full circle. In classic twisted fashion, you have an entire bloodline being hunted. It’s a race against the clock to get to safety. Some people make it and some don’t. We are also told that more is to come for Ace 🤬🙄 and Walid 😍😊

Although it took me a bit longer to complete, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this finale. I liked that we were told who survived and would travel to the island. I was glad Banks was able to complete his childhood dream. Looking forward to those twins in the new installment

Hmmmm.
I did something that I have never done with any of T. Styles books. Nd that is skipped pages. It started out slow and i ended up having more quetions than answers. What was Banks reasons for killing Derrick after he went thru all that to save him? I understand why he did Jersey that way but why Derrick? They never picked back up on Preach and Banks surviving uncle. Why did they make Dasher such a nut case? Yeah she was always madly in love with Masion but sis was never that nutty. I still think Banks is in love with Mason as he is with Banks. They jump about ten yrs or so in the epiloge. Nd still nothing. What happened to Zercy nd Minnie? Is The brother still being a nasty creep or did he move on? This book really disappointed me. It had no real story line almost as if the writer ran out of content nd threw something together. I love this writer nd I will continue to buy her books. But this book here is a prime example as to why a really good book dosent need nine thousand sequels

WHAT THE F*CK WAS THIS SH*T?!!!?!
The amount of plot holes in this last book is crazy!!
At the end of Truce 3 all of bank's memories came back & he actually felt bad that Mason took a bullet for him so him still holding on to that anger & not checking on Mason once is not landing with me.
What happened to Mason's security team? Like after all this time there was nobody around to stop the abuse that he endured not to mention Derrick not popping up and forcing his way in is not landed with me either.
Dasher's character being completely flipped like that was weird. Like she was never really all there but none of them are. It seems like the author just needed to create a random villain.
Banks killing Jersey makes since but saving Derrick just to kill him, pissed me off. He didn't deserve that.
Did I miss why banks headaches came back?!
Joey not going with them irritated me.
Shay stayed consistently awful so no surprises there.
I'm probably the only one not interested in Ace & Walid's story. You can pretty much predict what's going to happen.
The first 5 books were amazing & absolute page-turners but the buck stops there.

I definitely enjoyed this book. This book was all about Banks getting his kids to a safe environment at any means necessary. If you was in the you were getting knocked out the way.
I loved how Banks knew what was going on no matter if he was around or not.
I really felt sorry for Shay she was so sad like she always felt alone but when she got the chance to hear she wasn’t tragic came Ave she did what she did to show her loyalty.
Zercy had so much love for Minnie and he knew that his crazy ass family didn’t like her but he was determined to win back her heart.
Dasher was a psycho and I’m trying felt sorry for Mason in this book. He lost it all in a blink of the eye but good ole’ Banks came to his rescue once again.
I’m going to stop right now before I tell the whole book.
I am definitely late finishing up this series but you know what you never late reading a book because it’s new until you open the first page.

The books are started to blend together honestly… at this point idk if i’m more determined to just finish the series, or if i actually want to know how it ends. Mason & Banks relationship is simply so toxic that it’s inevitable for bad to happen when they are good for too long. Shay, i honestly dont know why her ass is still around. She serves no real purpose to the story line. Minnie is starting to grind my fucking gears with her entitlement, same with Spacey on the low. idk, the books are becoming slightly predictable and lackluster if you ask me.. but i have to finish 🫣

Ooooo my heart!!!
What a way to end! It was amazing! This has been the best story I have ever read! Starting from the beginning it was nothing but perfect & I'm very pleased with the way it ended. Can't wait to see what's next for the twins, Ace though 😳😳😳5 stars! I've recommended War to everyone since book 1 & all of her other books as well! Favorite author hands down! Can't wait to re read this series lol

More fire
I could kick myself for finishing . But as always T writes down she gets it. That pen really wicked . Every detail counts . Everything comes full circle . She really gives us so much. I always want more . I can’t get enough of these characters . T said oh you want a story ? I’m gone give you that & more it’s been like a hour since i finished and my mind still is envisioning these characters .

What a ride!
Welcome to the Banks and Mason show. In this finale, we got a lot of information, fun and still the crazy for family. I feel like some of them did get their karma but as we know not everyone will get theirs. I would love to see this as a mini series on the big screen. Can’t wait for the next books that you will release. Thanks for bringing us into the Banks and Mason show.

Truce was the truth must read!!!!!!
Well I knew this was going to be something I didn’t want to end. Betrayal, lies, death, deceit, drama,love, loyalty, and more all in this whole series. I couldn’t stopped reading it until I was done this series deserved 10 stars for real. I loved it want more.

Exceptionally good!!!
I couldn't put it down. I had forgotten the ending with Mason jumping in front of Banks and Jersey shooting him. Dashed did him bad, but in the end those two still winded up together, like I thought they would. I loved how they had all the kids and Ace still wasn't satisfied and still selfish and sick. Waiting on their story as adults.

Paradise
I’m so surprised @ dasher and her doing a 360! But banks always sees that his good buddy is good. I want to know also what happened with tinsley. It’s a shame ace couldn’t be helped and now that he’s of age he’ll be totally out of control. I loved the series and can’t wait to see the twins story

I enjoyed this series so much! I’m glad Banks went and rescued Mason from that psycho wife of his. She got her karma instantly. I’m looking forward to the next series The Gods, which will be about the now grown up Walid and Ace! I already know Ace is going to be a Monster and a force to be reckoned with. Let’s see how Walid and their relationship goes!

Crazy Wrap Up To The War/Truce Series But I Enjoyed It. I Do Have Some Questions About What Happened Later With Banks Health Mason’s Legs And Minnie But I Can’t Wait For The God’s Of Everything Else. Walid Is My Favorite He’s Just Like Banks But So Much Better. That Damn Ace Is Nothing To Play With He’s Definitely A Louisville.

Loved it. The ending for Banks and Mason was fitting. I'm very excited to see what is going to become of that doggone Ace. Perhaps the cycle will continue?
