I love this series and everything Tijan writes! If you love mystery, angst, and twists with a quirky heroine and a possessive alpha hero you should definitely read this series. The Revenge was an epic conclusion to an addicting series. Bailey and Kash are just perfect and I love watching everything they overcame and ended up stronger from it all in the end.

I was unable to review as I was not aware was book 3 in a series and I could not obtain book 1&2 before review would be due

Book 3 in The Insiders Trilogy ~ absolutely not a standalone. Definitely must read The Insiders and The Damaged first.

Featuring ~ dual 1st person POV, tech genius, billionaire, steamage

Bailey & Kash
We begin with how Bailey is dealing with the aftermath of the shocking cliffhanger from the last book ~ non spoiler alert, she's not taking it well.
Quinn's court proceedings from what she did in book 1 is going on with a few other separate story lines. It was action packed with a few shocking zingers that I was happy with.

Overall, a great conclusion to the trilogy with a nice progression epilogue. I enjoyed this one more than the first two.

I was lucky enough to have both an audio copy and a kindle copy. Both were fine.
Narration:
Emma Galvin & Joe Arden ~ 10 hours 17 minutes ~ I loved Joe, more than Emma, but overall both did a fine job.

Like the first two books in this trilogy this book keeps you on your toes. There are so many surprises. Things you never see coming. I loved the ending Kash and Bailey got!

Incredible conclusion to the trilogy!
I was hooked from book one, you always think you know what is going on but really you don’t.
Lash and Baileys journey gets tough and twisted but this author sure knows how to keep you interested in all the characters and their story.
Questions get answered, monsters get slayed and the journey comes to an end.

This one was really hard for me to get into. The first half seemed to drag for me but about 45% through I was hooked. There was so much to process with all the players and I found myself confused at times. All in all this series was good but not my favorite. I think there was a bit too many plot twists to follow that seemed to drag the story out longer then was needed. I also wish thar we got to see Bailey more in here actual element and happy, not because she was trying to help everyone out around her.

Bailey and Kashton couldn’t get a break. Actually stuff don’t happen until they go to the club to relax and just be. So, there is no rest for the weary. Nobody could be trusted, Calhoun is on a roll. By the way, there’s a pleasant surprise here. Awesome surprise. Makes my heart sing. Bailey was getting normal again. The love between her and Kash gets stronger everyday. Victoria and Quinn were no longer a threat. Peter is getting counseling to be a better dad and partner.

Of course there will be a last hurrah by the bad people. They almost succeeded, but, good will always triumph (at least in the books I read). This is one of my favorite 1-click authors. She never disappoints. The epilogues were a wowza. Fabulous

I was provided an ARC via Netgalley, however I opted to listen to the final version of the audiobook. As always all opinions are my own.

This book was published in September 2022 and is available in multiple formats via multiple retailers. This is the third and final book in The Insiders series. Unfortunately this didn't work for me. The Insiders was intense and suspenseful, The Damaged had some suspense towards the end, so I was hoping that this would end with a bang. This was lacking in the suspense and intensity I was looking for. This book was kind of all over the place, there is dialogue that is hard to follow and doesn't really make sense or add to the plot. Some of the actions of the characters after big traumatic events don't make sense, and in general I'm not a fan of how the author has the characters deal with emotions, grief, and trauma in this series. Despite all of the maneuvering and dangerous players, this was kind of slow paced and the big show down between Kash and Calhoun was not very action packed.

This book cannot be read as a standalone. This picks up where book 2 leaves off with Bailey completely shut down after events in book 2. She slowly comes out of her stupor and begins to reintegrate into her family and life. While she is grieving and basically suffering from PTSD, Kash is making moves against his grandfather. There are alot of other players involved to throw Kash and Bailey's plans off track, but it really just made the storyline messy in my opinion. I don't want to spoil anything, but I was hoping for more action and suspense. I was kind of bored despite the author throwing in some unexpected twists.

Overall, I'm glad to have finished the series..

The Revenge is an epic conclusion to this trilogy!!! Bailey and Kash are facing dangers and challenges that threaten to tear them apart. Bailey is reeling from a terrible loss and Kash is determined to take down the enemies that are closing in.
I love everything about this book!! It's edgy, spicy, and has shocking twists. I will always adore Kash and Bailey together and individually! Kash is dangerous, a badass, and completely swoon worthy. I love that he's always there for Bailey, and how sweet he is with her and her family. Once Bailey starts to get over her grief I love that she gets back to her badass self and is determined to help take down their enemies.
Let me say Team Batt is amazing and hilarious! I love Bailey and Mattt's relationship. They tend to come up with crazy, idiotic plans but that's part of why I love Team Batt. As always Cyclone and Seraphina are adorable and I love that they support Bailey. It's incredible how much the entire Francis family has grown since the first book.
If you haven't started this trilogy yet I highly recommend you do, all three books are amazing!! Thank you St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

I mean what can I say about this? This book was epic. I've really enjoyed this ride, feeling all the emotions and being the #1 cheerleader for Bailey and Kash. I was looking forward to this ending and devored this book in one sitting. I could not put this down and it's one of those 'I should probably call out sick' type of books.

I'm a huge fan of Tijan so I may be biased but I really enjoyed this series. It's one of my favorites now that it's complete. I'll probably re-read this series like I have with some of Tijan's single released books.

I also really loved the epilogues and glimpses down the road. It was so sweet!

Definitely a way to finish up the series. Tijan once again had produced an amazing book filled with a ton of love and twist. Look forward to the series.

It took me longer to get into this book than the first two, even thought it still had elements of the book I liked. This installment follows Bailey and Kash as they deal with the aftermath of the ending of book two. Bailey has shut herself off to the world and has to navigate that trauma while also dealing with Kash's evil grandfather. The twists in this book had me screaming, and I absolutely did not see that end coming. Overall, great ending to the series.

I usually really enjoy books by this author but this one just wasn’t doing it for it. It was a do not finish for me unfortunately.

I found the book a little slow to start but I guess that is understandable as Bailey is just trying to deal and is going through the motions of life without living. But once the book did get going it was thrilling! There were so many twists and turns and the book was so action packed I was hooked.
Honestly the revelations in this book were shocking and just when I thought it was going to go one way something else happened that changed the whole storyline!
We got to see a lot more Kash in this book. There were more chapters from his POV and his love for Bailey really shone through. You could feel the guilt he had for Chrissy's death and how he felt his mere presence would endanger Bailey but his love for her never wavered. The relationship between Bailey and Kash really grew and you could see them go through a hard time but come out stronger.
We got to see Bailey come into her own a little more and show her hacking skills to her full potential. It was also great to see her let go and act like a college student and enjoy the life she has. As always, I loved the parts with Baileys siblings and it was great to see Matthew take on even more of a big brother role and protect Bailey as much as he could.
I thought this was a really satisfying end to the series. There were definitely some shocking moments and I loved how thrilling the whole series has been. As with all of Tijan's books she writes such great side characters that I am always hoping some of them will get their own spin off and The Insiders trilogy is no exception. Whilst I am hoping there might be more I did really enjoy the ending to this series.

I'm a Tijan fan, and honestly don't feel I can go wrong with their work. This one was full of her usual style and I was invested in what the heck was going to happen, because history shows things can get DICEY!

So many unexpected twists in this one. Had a hard time reading about Baileys loss and made finishing difficult at times because of my own recent loss. But I loved the plot and the intensity of this series.

Every book I read by this author just sucks me in and I'm hooked on every word. This was the last book in the trilogy and it took me for a ride. Twist and turns with a rollercoaster of emotion. Happy for Bailey and Kash and the rest of the gang. Loved the HEA! Highly recommend this series!

I tried to care for the characters in this final book, but I couldn't. The book itself was too overdramatic! I also feel like this would have done better as a duet. When the reader gets to the final book, everything is drawn out. Bailey was insufferable cash was just his one-dimensional self. I'm glad I finished the series, but it felt like it was a long journey.

Everyone needed a little more Bailey and Kash in their lives. I am sad this trilogy is ending, one could hope for another or a spin off.

There is lots of steam and romance in this book, all while being intense - it's a very interesting mixture. The multiple POV did not make it hard to understand, it gives you another way to understand it - if that makes sense...

Please go out and grab this book, along with the previous two -- you won't be sorry...

I just reviewed The Revenge by Tijan. #NetGalley
