Finley and Vero are at it again, and this time they take on Atlantic City.
I love these two more with each book. This book is more focused on Vero and readers see how strong Finley and Vero's relationship is. These two are ride or die for each other. No questions asked. I enjoyed reading more about her mom and the moments with her ex husband. I enjoy each character in this book and the dynamic each one has with Finley and Vero.
I like that the series picks up where the previous book left off and involves the same group/crew of criminals from the start. Everything and everyone ties together somehow. The epilogue left me hoping I don't have to wait too long fo the next book.
This is the fourth book in the series and can be read as a standalone, but in some scenes it helps to have known what happened. Moments are mentioned, but not enough to get the whole picture from previous books.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
Finlay Donovan and her trusty companion, Vero, are at it again. After barely surviving a week of citizen’s police academy, the two women are in desperate need of a getaway. A few days in Atlantic City seem to be just what the doctor ordered. However, in true Finlay fashion, she can’t help but get herself into more trouble. Will she be able to escape harm once more, or is destined to bring down herself and the ones she loves?
This is the fourth book in The Finlay Donovan Series. While I initially loved the series, I had all but given up on it after listening to the previous book on audio. I am so glad that I kept with it as I fell back in love with Finlay and all her shenanigans.
This cozy mystery provided endless entertainment. While it does require readers to suspend reality, it will have you laughing out loud. The slapstick comedy Finlay provides makes even the darkest scenarios seem wholesome. While I was able to guess a few of the plot points out, Cosimano kept me on my toes.
Special thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Elle Cosimano for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
# 4 in the series is just as fun and fast as the first three! You can read it as a standalone, but my goodness, do yourself a favor and go pick up the rest of the collection! I love seeing the character growth amidst the constantly changing plot. Now, the mob is involved, and Finlay has to be even more careful, juggling her kids, her ex husband, and not one but TWO romantic interests.
Another tricky adventure with Finlay Donovan. Each book has it's own theme and twist of shenanigans for these characters. It's a fun time
I love these books so much! I love that we get some good resolution with this book but also love that there will be more Finlay Donovan adventures! The justice in the scenes with Steven was amazing, and I loved the romances between Finlay & Nick and Vero & Javi! Such a fun read!
Truthfully, every Finlay Donovan book is perfection. It’s such a fun series that never fails to make me laugh out loud (the stripper scene in this one 😂 iykyk).
Finlay and Vero are in Atlantic City with the WHOLE fam (& Nick ☺️) to tie up loose ends from all of their previous adventures…oh and to find Javi. What ensues is preposterous, wild, how did they get into this mess?, straight fun.
Quite literally, Elle Cosimano could write 10 more Finlay books and I’d be all in.
Highly recommend if you enjoy romance, mystery, a little suspense, and a single mom trying her best and ending up in the strangest predicaments!
Finlay does it again, I will always have a soft spot for this series! The book was very entertaining, and I read it all in a quick amount of time because I couldn't put it down. Finlay and Vero were in Jersey to rescue Ravi and of course ran into the russian mob while there. I did not expect the ending which kept me interested.
This book picks up right where the 3rd book left off. You would think by the 4th book the series would be dull but it is anything but that! My favorite character in this series was Kevin Bacon the miniature dachshund ! I can’t wait for the next book to come out. I love the relationship dynamic between Finlay and Vero that you can’t help but root for them in the shenanigans they get into. I had the pleasure of meeting Elle Costello for this book tour and she is so humble and real.
Readers (myself included) have been eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Finlay Donovan series and it does not disappoint! Full of the comedic hijinks, crazy drama, and amateur sleuthing we know and love, this book is a surefire winner!
Oh this series needs to become a TV show!! I enjoyed this road trip with Finlay and her sidekick.
Everyone and i mean everyone is on their way to Atlantic City, of course mayhem occurs where ever Finlay and Vero go. Adding in her mother, ex husband, and kids along with some other crazy characters!
I highly recommend reading the first books before this one! I don't wanna give anything away or it will ruin the book!
Y’all, these two are up to their impossible shenanigans again and I AM HERE FOR IT! Since book one, I’ve been along for the ride as Finlay and Vero get themselves into one mess after another and YET ALWAYS find their way out. I’m going with women’s intuition as their superpower. Never doubt a women’s ability to get things done 😆
The ending of this one is very much a cliffhanger and I’m eager to jump back into the chaotic madness that is Finlay and Vero in book 5!
I love a good road trip moment!
In this one, Finlay and Vero end up on a road trip to Atlantic City, with Finlay’s ex husband, her two kids, and her mother-trying to solve a ransom note- what an adventure already!
I can't say more, as this book follows book 3 immediately, so you def need to read the other books to continue on.
I feel like this was coming back to the Finlay Donovan I know and loved from the first two books.
Are the books becoming more chaotic and unhinged? Yes. Am I loving it still? Yes.
This book feels very lighthearted, and really makes me love this series so much!
Thank you to Minotaur Books for the copy through Netgalley!
I absolutely love the Finlay Donovan Series. I was hooked from the very first page. However, this book wasn't grabbing my attention as much as the previous books. Although I still found parts of the book, funny, witty, and heartwarming, it just didn't cut it for me. I do love getting to hear more about Vero. I would still recommend this book because it is Finlay Donovan, and I absolutely love and adore Elle.
I just thoroughly enjoy these books.
Are they realistic? Absolutely not , but that’s why I love them. They’re such an escape from reality.
Definitely don’t think of this as a thriller. Think of it as I Love Lucy meets cozy mysteries.
I can’t wait to see what is next for Finlay and Vero.
Thanks to NetGalley for this copy. So much fun.
I love a good Finlay Donovan book, and will continue to read about her offbeat antics for as long as they're published.I liked this fourth book better than the third, and look forward to future installments. They're always a solid, reliable, fun read.
Finlay is and always will be lifegiving. I read this a long time ago, and I am upset I did not review it earlier, but it really was the absolute best! I think this was my favorite Finlay ever. I will always, always, always be team Detective Nick; but my word if I will not also always be team Finn and Vero!
I would read anything that has Finlay Donovan, and I stand by that. I will say this was my least favorite in the series so far though, but I will happily continue on with the series.
This one just felt kinda different, and it dragged on a bit for me. It didn’t feel as fun and didn’t seem to have as much chaos as the others didn’t, but it could be because I started to lose interest.
Dare I say this was the one installment that didn't have my full buy in? I have LOVED Finlay Donovan everything, but this one just fell flat. I think I need to listen on audio like I had all of the others. BUT - with that being said, I loved to road trip, still loved the banter, I laughed, I cried, I mean it still hit the nail on the head in so many ways, I just wasn't entirely obsessed like I had been with the others. I'll follow back up after I listen on audio on my Goodreads so that I can truly vet my emotions.
I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Finlay Donovan just has such a special place in my heart. The outrageous nature of these books suck me in every single time. Finlay Donovan Rolls The Dice was no different.
I’m so in love with these characters at this point. I had so much fun reading all the crazy twist and turns our characters had to go through. The setting was also such a blast to live in. And that cliff hanger at the end! I need the next book asap!
4/5 Stars
