This trilogy was intense and while knowing I would be surprised with events I didn’t think could/would happen, I still found myself gasping for a time or two. Tijan wrote a perfect ending to her Insiders trilogy. Bailey and Kash’s story is well worth a read and one you may come to again and again as the story with all twists and surprises throughout the series.

Finally! The epic conclusion we’ve been waiting for. I have been hooked on Kash and Bailey since the very first book and have immensely enjoyed their journey. And let me tell you, The Revenge is everything fans of The Insiders series have been waiting for.

The Revenge picks up right where the doozy of a cliffhanger from The Damaged left off and this book leaves no stone unturned. If you had questions, you better sit down and buckle in because you are not ready for the answers. This book had so many twists and turns it left my head spinning. I was kept on my toes and left to roll with the punches. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.

Kash and Bailey once again stepped up to the plate and showed us, readers, why we should root for them. Their loyalty and love for one another continues to knock my socks off and I know there is no storm these two can not weather.

There is so much I wish I could say right now, but I’m keeping my lips sealed. All I can tell you is to get ready. You thought the other books in this series were intense, but you haven’t seen anything yet. The Revenge pulls out all of the stops and leaves readers with the most satisfying and well-deserved ending. I loved everything about this book from beginning to end and look forward to seeing what this author has in store for us readers next.

In the conclusion of Bailey and Kash’s story we get a lot of answers, more steam, action, and intense moments. Bailey is still trying to figure life out after the last book, she is living life through a fog, yet not truly living and those around her are worried. Kash has already proven time again that he will do anything for Bailey, and he does, but now he feels almost helpless as he must stand by and watch her struggle. There are so many things happening in this book especially with Kash trying to take down his grandfather, but one thing that remains the same is the devotion and love Kash and Bailey have. It’s packed with action, steam, and a lot of emotions but what really got me was all the shocks of surprises. I don’t want to reveal much because if you’ve read books one and two you need this book, so you get that closure and see if they get their hea. This was an epic ending for this series and I loved the journey we have taken with the characters; I really hope we see more of them in the future.

Holy cannoli! This series has been an absolute ride. The Revenge is probably the most intense book the series, and the plot packs one hell of a punch. So much goes down in this book, but Tijan leaves no loose threads! It was phenomenal.

Bailey and Kash have both been through the ringer, but this was the perfect conclusion to their story. His loyalty to her and everything he did to keep her safe is literal book boyfriend goals. I’m so glad they came out of this madhouse of a series strong!

Thank you Netgalley and SMP for the arc!

Before i write my review of this book, i have to Give A HUGE thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Revenge
By: Tijan
5/5
5/5

Dmnn this this book!! .. Nooo!The whole series was incredible !!. It has been a week since i finished this series and I'm still thinking about it. The Most amazing part was the twist in this book, you wouldn't not believe how good its. This book is intense, suspenseful,action packed, sweet, heartbreaking! ! It really had me on the edge of my sit the whole time.

The ending of this book was the best one that Bailey and Kash deserve. They went through so much, nothing couldn't have separate their love.

Bailey deserves nothing but the best because she sure went through a hell of a roller coaster. And Kash is the definition of the best thing that has ever happen to Bailey. He is swoon worthy for sure!

I can't wait for this book to come out so that you all can experience how good this book IS<333

xoxo

so grateful for netgalley for providing me with this arc! Did i read this book not knowing it was a trilogy? yes indeed. At first I was a little hesitant starting this knowing i didn’t know any details about the characters but then as i read further I realised, that damn, this book was epic.

Bailey and Kash have been through a lot together. They are the end game. Their relationship was so beautiful. I often read in books where the guy has to break the girls heart in order to “protect” her but never in Tijan books. Her books make my heart swell and make me want to scream, cry and throw up. It was beautiful how Kash and Bailey seemed to trust each other and confide breaking the normal stereotype.

The plot was amazing. Bailey has a hyper active memory, which proved difficult for her but her hacking skills were impeccable. As a person who’s literally not a computer geek, I loved every aspect of this part. Bailey’s confidence, and the way she manoeuvres for her man, holy shite man. It was amazeballs.

The writing style was easy, comprehensible, fluent. There was no part where I had been bored. Throughout the book I was on an edge thinking about what’s going to happen. I loved the banger, the characters were very easy to connect to, I loved their banter and felt like i was a part of the cheraspeake household <3

DNF ~ I’ve liked other books by Tijan before and so when I saw one pop up on netgalley I grabbed it…became apparent quickly that it wasn’t the first in a series and there wasn’t enough info to grab me without having the backstory. Stuck with it for a bit but really couldn’t get hooked on the characters.

Giving 3 stars because of past books and because I don’t think it’s fair for me to star on the portion I read.

All these plot twists are giving me whiplash. OMG it makes the story so interesting! And if I was hot for Kash before, this book melted me. He is the most patient man when it comes to giving Bailey space but always being a strong constant for her. A protector. She is having to deal with heavy trauma. But little by little, now she is thirsty for revenge. What a way to end this series! Seeing them both in action, in their element, extra focus to finally get rid of the threat and start a life without worry, is like art.

This was soo good. The spice was too on point and I loved the characters. I am still gushing about this one.

I felt that the pacing of this book was a bit off. I found the romance to be lackluster but the story was interesting enough. It took me longer to read than expected because the book would catch my attention and then it would fade and then catch my attention again. I would be hesitant to recommend this series to a friend.

This was a spectacular conclusion to this trilogy. I felt the anticipation the entire book and the plot kept me on my toes until the very end. When I was in the last few chapters, I was honestly worried it would end with another cliffhanger, but thankfully it doesn't and the story is finished now.

Kash and Bailey felt a lot more real this time around. They pushed against each other as Bailey fought through her grief and used that grief to push her into Kash's world. Their fights felt real and honest yet you could still feel the love between them.

Their love was so strong and was definitely at the center of this novel and their story in general. However, the family storyline in this book was strong especially with Matt and Bailey aka Team Batt.

I love Tijan's stories. Whatever they write, I will read it. Drama, action, romance, dynamic characters, and last but not least violence make the stories go round. I will definitely recommend this story to others.

This is the third and final book in the Insider trilogy. I won't beat around the bush...I had a hard time diving into this last book, or perhaps I should say, I had a hard time staying focused during this final book.

For the first 60% of the book the story lagged. Honestly, there just wasn't a lot of meat to hold my interest. However, the final 40% of the book is where the action and culmination of everything really lies. Once I reached this point I couldn't put the book down, it just felt like forever until I reached it.

Did I love the ending...yes. Was everything tied up...for sure. Were there more twists to get there...no doubt. However, it just takes a really, really long time to get there.

I did enjoy the moments with Bailey and her brother Matt or Batt as the two of them call themselves when they are out sleuthing together. I have enjoyed watching him grow throughout the trilogy and become less of a douchebag.

Overall, I did enjoy the this book since it ties up the whole trilogy, but it did lag in spots. A 4.5 read overall.

That was a very dramatic and explosive ending !!! I still love Kash. Bailey is not to be messed with ever! Chase is a new favorite. I'm sad this is ending. There's so much more to know of Kash but I'm sensing a cross over, maybe. That's me being hopeful! I just love singing like a CANARY! Lol. The Revenge brought out many emotions. Sadness. Anxious. Anger. Relief!!!!! Happiness! Im so happy to have gotten this ARC from NetGalley. I was wondering when it would come or of it would come. I'm a new fan of Tijan but man everytime I read a new book of hers I love every second of the journey!!! The action is perfectly written! It's not corny. It feels genuine. Like a great movie. I love it. She puts her all in her stories and she's a master at it. I love this series. I'm sad to see it end. I don't want to spoil anything but when I say action I mean it. There are alot of unexpected turns and pop ups and what is. It's a rollercoaster ride all the place. I love the background characters too. Melissa. Torie and Tamara. They're ride or die. Especially Torie. Sweet Melissa is too sweet. I wondered about Matt sometime. He seemed off a bit. But in the end he worked out. Cyclone is a whirlwind of love and just amazing!!! He's so bright. He's awesome!!! We all know Chrissy. The best. She's great. Love her. Just love all the characters!!! I recommend!!! Read this series!!!

This was the perfect conclusion to the series. Honestly, I could read 80 more books in the Insiders series because I just love being sucked into this world so much. This final book PACKS A PUNCH!! This series (and book!) was enthralling, suspenseful, engaging, twisted, and intense. It’s definitely my favorite of the series, it drew me in immediately and I couldn’t put it down until I knew how it would end. Bailey and Kash were tested so much in this book, but their connection and love for each other is so strong they stayed tethered together. something I love most about Tijan’s books is her ability to form such strong bonds between characters that you have no choice but to root for them and fall in love with them. This was a wild ride but sweet and heartfelt, twisty but romantic, suspenseful and swoony!

It is hard to give a review explaining why this book is so amazing without accidentally providing spoilers. What I will say is that it was an amazing conclusion to yet another fabulous series by Tijan!
What you think you may know is not necessarily what you know. There were so many twists to different things that explained other things.
It was so good!!

If Tijan wrote a grocery list, I would buy it and give it 5 Stars!

"The Revenge' was everything I wanted and so much more! I did have to go back and reread the first 2 books so I could remember who some people were and get reacquainted with our main couple *swoon*!

This is definitely a series I will be revisiting for years to come!

Fantastic twisty and unexpected conclusion to the series. If you're looking for a good read, check out the whole series. If you've read the first couple, definitely don't miss The Revenge! This ended in a way I couldn't have foreseen but was thoroughly satisfying.
