Summary
I’ve waited three long years for this…
Hiding。 Lying。 Spying。
Waiting like a spider for her to wander into my web…
Now she’s here， and I have to get even closer to her。 I’ll help her。 Befriend her。 Seduce her， even。
The only thing I can’t do is fall in love with her。
Her father took everything from me: my money， my family， my life。
He has to pay for what he’s done。 And she’s the only thing that can hurt him…
The Lark Notes:
I’ve been planting clues and Easter Eggs all the way through the first three Kingmakers books — now it’s time for the secrets to be revealed， and the mysteries to find their conclusions。 The moment you finish “The Spy”， you’re going to want to go back and read the whole series all over again！ – Sophie
“The Spy” is the final installment in the epic dark mafia Kingmakers series。 It’s a forbidden romance， full of mystery， betrayal， and an explosive conclusion that will give you the biggest book hangover of your life！

Ms。 Lark's books are soooo goooodddd！ I enjoyed this story。 Suspenseful！ Wondering how it would all play out！ Ares kept me guessing， and Nix may have wanted to trust her instincts。 But， then again， maybe not！ Each page turn I was immersed with the characters。 Loved revisiting the other characters as well。 I think my favorite is Dean and Cat's story， and Dean played a role here。 I loved the wrap up。 But， quite honestly， I would be happy to return to Kingmakers time and again！ I enjoyed this serie Ms。 Lark's books are soooo goooodddd！ I enjoyed this story。 Suspenseful！ Wondering how it would all play out！ Ares kept me guessing， and Nix may have wanted to trust her instincts。 But， then again， maybe not！ Each page turn I was immersed with the characters。 Loved revisiting the other characters as well。 I think my favorite is Dean and Cat's story， and Dean played a role here。 I loved the wrap up。 But， quite honestly， I would be happy to return to Kingmakers time and again！ I enjoyed this series so much， I will re-read at some point。 I don't have many books on my To Be Read Again， but this series of books has its spot there！ I absolutely loved the Kingmaker's series of books; loved them！ Lastly， not for the faint of heart！ Ms。 Lark's stories are VERY intense and may contain triggers for some！ Heed any warnings。 I received an advanced reader copy， and this is my honest and voluntary review。 。。。more

This is a tough one because I love "The Spy" but I couldn’t for the life of me find myself to like Nix， I just couldn’t sympathize with her。 I didn’t feel their chemistry like Sophie wanted us to and I am so sorry *crying* But just because I wasn’t the biggest fan of Nix doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy reading the book because I truly did！ It was definitely a page turner and something we’ve all be anticipating since the very first book。 I enjoyed reading Ivan’s scenes and getting glimpses of his lif This is a tough one because I love "The Spy" but I couldn’t for the life of me find myself to like Nix， I just couldn’t sympathize with her。 I didn’t feel their chemistry like Sophie wanted us to and I am so sorry *crying* But just because I wasn’t the biggest fan of Nix doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy reading the book because I truly did！ It was definitely a page turner and something we’ve all be anticipating since the very first book。 I enjoyed reading Ivan’s scenes and getting glimpses of his life over the past 30 something years。 And I’m crying at the surprise Dean pov at the end and I love who Sabrina ended up with。 I’m so happy most of my consumptions were correct！There’s still a minor detail that Sophie still messes up in her books that includes Russian culture。 Since Sloane and Freya are females their last names should be Petrova instead of Petrov which is the masculine version。 。。。more

This book was amazing！ Great way to end the series！ Sophie brings you into this world and makes you want to stay！ I am sad that my time at the Island is finished but I look forward to what other trips she had planned for us。

I finished this beautifully written book with tears running down my face。 This story is incredible， emotional and just a wonderful read。 These characters have all been so special and the plot action-packed with so many twists and turns。 I was pleasantly surprised how The Spy unfolded and absolutely loved it！ This couple could not be more perfect together。 This has been a fantastic series that deserves way more than five stars！！！！

Now that’s how you end a series！ The Spy is the highly anticipated fourth and final book of the Kingmakers Series。 It also manages to be the big bow on both the already beautifully wrapped Underworld and Brutal Birthright series。 If you have not read either series or the previous books in the Kingmakers series， I HIGHLY recommend it。 While it is not necessary， you will truly be missing out on building a truly well-rounded emotional bond with the characters。 I think Nix is my favorite heroine of Now that’s how you end a series！ The Spy is the highly anticipated fourth and final book of the Kingmakers Series。 It also manages to be the big bow on both the already beautifully wrapped Underworld and Brutal Birthright series。 If you have not read either series or the previous books in the Kingmakers series， I HIGHLY recommend it。 While it is not necessary， you will truly be missing out on building a truly well-rounded emotional bond with the characters。 I think Nix is my favorite heroine of this series。 I love how bold and straightforward she is。 She is not afraid to go after what she wants。 Based on what we know， she is her mother’s daughter。 She also manages to embrace the better qualities of her father。 “The Spy” manages to fully take after his parents in all the best ways。 They were amazing and continue to be my favorites of all Lark’s characters。Now， it is almost impossible to write about anything more in this book and not give anything away。 For this reason， I can only write about what it made me feel。Reading this book was a struggle。 Most of my theories were confirmed in the first few pages。 Everything I put together in previous books was spot on。 I hated my ability to dissect plots。 I hated that I was right。 As I realized this， I finally had to stop at chapter 9 because I was angry and heartbroken and couldn’t take it anymore。 I actually picked up and finished two other books to stamp down my rage。 I was so incredibly angry at Sophie。 The only thing they kept me going after picking it back up three days later was a second theory that came from the chapters I had read thus far and found myself begging for a reprieve。 I have to say， I haven’t cried since Enzo yet， I spent the last four chapters blubbering like a school child。 This gave me all the feels I mean， Every。Single。Solitary。Emotion。 Thank you for giving us this gift！ This was the culmination of every emotion we invested over the last 2。5 -3 years。 Damn you Sophie for making me cry！ Also thank you for making me cry because it means that you gave me characters and stories that pulled me in and made me want to invest not only my time but my emotions。 It’s amazing how emotionally invested we can become in fictional characters and their story， whether from movies， TV shows， plays， and especially books。 The sheer thought of the books brings tears to my eyes and causes my heart to race。 I’ve never felt this raw after finishing a book。 I never had the book hangover that so many people talk about until THIS book。 It’s the first book that my mom showed any real interest in and let me talk about and was invested， if only for a moment， in the fact that I was so invested。 The way Sophie wrapped it up was like the finality of twilight with the emotional hangover of the fast and furious series and was done in a way that you know she poured her all into it。Sophie Lark is one of the few authors， that I’ve read， that truly draws you in to a point where you forget that you’re reading a book。 You forget that you’re not reading the real-life journal of people who lived， breathed， and walked this earth。 I will truly never tire of praising her work and embracing all that she gives us。 The good， the bad， the ugly。 I am incredibly grateful to her for reminding not only me but many others of why being a reader is so incredible。 This book was， especially towards the end， was like my heart was being massaged from within my chest cavity。 Most， if not all， lingering questions have been answered and it feels complete。 Now， no pressure or anything but， the expectations continue to grow。 They are now sky-high and incredibly unreasonable。 I cannot wait to devour whatever comes next。P。S。 To Mr。 Lark AKA “Business Daddy，” I am grateful for assisting in giving us this amazing work and I ask that you make Miles and Zoe’s project a reality。 Please and thank you， lol。 Voluntarily reviewed after receiving a free copy courtesy of the author， Sophie Lark。 。。。more

Amazing Culmination to Kingmakers SeriesThe last book in the Kingmaker series is as spellbinding as I anticipated。 ‘The Spy’ is very well crafted with previous figures from a different series interlaced seamlessly with Kingmaker characters。 One becomes immersed in the lives of the Kingmakers and the emotionally gripping experience leaves you disconcerted。 Incorporating characters from ‘Underworld’ provides an unexpected layer and adds depth and intrigue to the plot。 The shocking and horrific rev Amazing Culmination to Kingmakers SeriesThe last book in the Kingmaker series is as spellbinding as I anticipated。 ‘The Spy’ is very well crafted with previous figures from a different series interlaced seamlessly with Kingmaker characters。 One becomes immersed in the lives of the Kingmakers and the emotionally gripping experience leaves you disconcerted。 Incorporating characters from ‘Underworld’ provides an unexpected layer and adds depth and intrigue to the plot。 The shocking and horrific revelation of Hedeon Grey’s story is poignant and pathetic。 The Kingmakers bring about a feeling of being allied， connected and the emotionally gripping experience leave you disconcerted。 The reader is lured into their trials， tribulations， despair and exhilarations。 TThe plot is a complicated spider’s web woven with intricate threads of suspense， drama， torment and elation。 Pulling together details of the previous three books， adds to the absorbing story line。 The use of poetic sequence enhances the story making it titillating。 The Spy’ integrates what seemed an uneventful， inconsequential event in previous books into an incident that becomes glaringly pivotal to the plot。 Of course， there is the usual thrill of the Quartum Belum。 Appropriately， one finds poetic justice， especially in the world of Kingmakers， where their world encompasses worldwide mafia families。 It is imperative that the previous three books are read first and in order for the reader to appreciate the cleverness of ‘The Spy’ 。。。more

What an addition to this series！！ I wont name the H in this review so i dont spoil the fun for anyone， but it was exactly who i was hoping！！ His back story was much more than I expected & really enjoyed how it came out。 Nix wasn't your usual h in the best way possible。 She was confident while still feeling like a bit of an outsider， she was so new to the Kingsmaker world which was cool because she was certainly capable & able， but because of her circumstances， she wasn't always clear on how thin What an addition to this series！！ I wont name the H in this review so i dont spoil the fun for anyone， but it was exactly who i was hoping！！ His back story was much more than I expected & really enjoyed how it came out。 Nix wasn't your usual h in the best way possible。 She was confident while still feeling like a bit of an outsider， she was so new to the Kingsmaker world which was cool because she was certainly capable & able， but because of her circumstances， she wasn't always clear on how things work there。 I was really happy to get more of the Gallo family as well。 Sophie has done an amazing job with this series， there is literally an H & h for everyones tastes。 The writing is great as usual and im def not ready for it to end！！ Speaking of endings， the epilogue was SUCH a pleasant surprise！！ : ） 。。。more

This is an epic end to a remarkable series。 It’s an understatement to say Kingmakers ends with a bang because there’s so much that happens and so many things explained。 And I will absolutely read the entire series over now with this new knowledge because I think it will be even better the second time around。 I’m struggling to write this without spoiling anything because I can’t even use the name of one of the MCs without ruining the suspense， but oh my stars， this is a great story。There’s so muc This is an epic end to a remarkable series。 It’s an understatement to say Kingmakers ends with a bang because there’s so much that happens and so many things explained。 And I will absolutely read the entire series over now with this new knowledge because I think it will be even better the second time around。 I’m struggling to write this without spoiling anything because I can’t even use the name of one of the MCs without ruining the suspense， but oh my stars， this is a great story。There’s so much action and so many subplots， but it’s all so perfectly interwoven， there’s no confusion or plot holes。 It all flows and makes sense。 It’s always kind of odd reading about such young characters but I love watching them grow and change because so much hinges on the transformation。 Dean and Cat are probably still my favorite couple of the bunch， just barely edging out the others， but I really enjoyed this book， too。 I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll just say that the MCs weren’t who I expected， but their story is amazing。 Reading this book was like watching an action movie in my head。 The author has a gift for description， really painting a picture with her words and I love that in a book。 This story was riveting from the first page。 More than once， I thought I knew what was coming next only to be surprised， which is rare。 One thing I wasn’t expecting at all was a third POV but it added so much to the story。 The epilogue wraps up all the storylines for the various characters throughout the series nicely， which is one of my favorite things。 I’m always sad to see a great series end but I couldn’t imagine a better ending for this one。 I loved everything about it。 。。。more

No Spoiler Review。The Spy is like the perfect bow wrapping the Kingmakers series together。 It all comes full circle。 Every question， every bit of mystery that was lingering over the last three books has its answer in between those pages。We all had our theories about the Spy’s identity。 Whether you were right or wrong， no one is prepared for the level of hotness and dreaminess that he brings with him。 His struggles will twist your insides， so will his love for Nix。Our heroine， Nix， is simply the No Spoiler Review。The Spy is like the perfect bow wrapping the Kingmakers series together。 It all comes full circle。 Every question， every bit of mystery that was lingering over the last three books has its answer in between those pages。We all had our theories about the Spy’s identity。 Whether you were right or wrong， no one is prepared for the level of hotness and dreaminess that he brings with him。 His struggles will twist your insides， so will his love for Nix。Our heroine， Nix， is simply the wild child we’ve all been waiting for。 Fiercely independent， honest， and true with a nice short temper to top it all off。 She’s an Amazon in disguise and is the perfect challenging match for the Spy。A special tribute to Sabrina。 My number one spirit animal from Sophie’s book has always been Aida。 From the moment I met her， she was it。 That spot has been challenged by Sabrina Gallo。 They now share that place in my heart now。 Not only is Sabrina just as fierce， unruly， and passionate as Aida， but she also has that little crazy edge from Nero。 A winning combo on all angles。I am very sad to see this series end but we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ending。 100% recommend。 10/10。 。。。more

Let me just say that Sophie Lark is my newest author to be waiting for， The Spy was my first novel and will certainly not be the last。 I am going straight to find the previous books in her Kingmakers series after I finish here！This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time。 From beginning to the end war takes us on an action packed journey。 There's angst， there's heartbreak and trauma， and healing and HEA。 I have to give this author so much kudos for being able to keep the action going Let me just say that Sophie Lark is my newest author to be waiting for， The Spy was my first novel and will certainly not be the last。 I am going straight to find the previous books in her Kingmakers series after I finish here！This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time。 From beginning to the end war takes us on an action packed journey。 There's angst， there's heartbreak and trauma， and healing and HEA。 I have to give this author so much kudos for being able to keep the action going and also keeping us going that's a hard story to weave and then there is a love story going on as well。 So many twists and turns and complex developments。 The story between the Spy and Nix is Epic。 At first I was wondering if they were in fact the people that would end up together， again first book from his author so I had no idea what to expect， but then the connection between them is sizzling hot。 I love the internal struggle of our guy， and how he grows and changes throughout the story。 I am almost sad that I started this series at the end！ I cannot wait to start at the beginning and see how all these characters got here。 Happy reading！ 。。。more

Objectively， and as a series conclusion， this was a perfect book。 Sophie tied up the loose ends， brought narrative threads and characters together， and concluded the action so skillfully like the elegant and intelligent spider with a pen that she is！ That the Spy is who he is， and what he is up to at Kingmakers， made total sense to me， and I never found his mission underwhelming。 He was such a character。。。 I think part of his appeal is the magnitude of his power: the way he keeps it in check， an Objectively， and as a series conclusion， this was a perfect book。 Sophie tied up the loose ends， brought narrative threads and characters together， and concluded the action so skillfully like the elegant and intelligent spider with a pen that she is！ That the Spy is who he is， and what he is up to at Kingmakers， made total sense to me， and I never found his mission underwhelming。 He was such a character。。。 I think part of his appeal is the magnitude of his power: the way he keeps it in check， and the way he sometimes will not。 *wink*The three points of view work so well together。 Both the Spy and Nix are authentic characters whose points of view offer so much turbulence， conflict， so much emotion。 The steamy scenes -not only theirs， mind you- were like no other， there were intense connection， spice， novelty。 As always， no beds， everywhere else works delightfully。 With colors， leaves， water， wild nature， so many beautiful sensations， they are also aesthetically appealing。 Sophie writes steam with intensity and love， but she also writes action like a true criminal mastermind: there is always strategy， movement， both method and madness are there， like good cinema。 The Spy was an unstoppable and ever-emotional force of nature that carried me along。 As always， after a certain point I was glued to my screen， scanning words and lines with appetite， until the very end， sighing and staring at space afterwards。 However， I felt like there were so many characters， sketched out so precisely， that their characterization impinged upon that of our main crew。 I would have enjoyed this crowded stage more if some of them were getting their own books， maybe even on a post-Kingmakers plane （because as much as I cherished these college people， I realize now that I've really missed Sophie writing about adults in urban landscapes！） I didn't feel much connection with Nix， but weirdly， the way Sophie writes her is uniquely marvelous， so Nix might be the one whose creation I admired the most。 She feels like a creature out of folklore， mythical， even。 Her theme song， Siren， has been in my mouth for days， it's so dreamy， rhythmic， sensual， and also sad in a way that appeals to me， for it is not overt。 Like Nix herself: with her rough red hair， familiarity with nature， and her honesty， rawness， and enthusiasm。 I could feel how affected the Spy was by those qualities， I agree with him。。。 I always felt like I was looking at these characters， the settings -running water， intricate branches， mossy openings and fields- and touching them， as if they were paintings。 I felt so alive， kudos to Sophie for rejuvenating her reader solely by words on page。 She writes the most sensual landscapes， steamy scenes， intimate conversations。 Overall， I liked the Spy。 It was intense as usual， and a satisfactory farewell to Kingmakers。 I'm staying tuned， and I know that Sophie Lark will just keep surpassing herself with every new book as is her custom。 。。。more

Wow wow wow！ What an epic ending to one of my all time favorite series！ I can't believe it's over， but these books will definitely stay with me and I'm already planning a reread asap。 There are so many connected characters and I greatly enjoyed trying to put clues together and finding Easter eggs from previous books。 Lark is a genius in how she wove everything together and wrote a series that took over my soul。 I don't want to give spoilers for those that haven't read this， but I will say I was Wow wow wow！ What an epic ending to one of my all time favorite series！ I can't believe it's over， but these books will definitely stay with me and I'm already planning a reread asap。 There are so many connected characters and I greatly enjoyed trying to put clues together and finding Easter eggs from previous books。 Lark is a genius in how she wove everything together and wrote a series that took over my soul。 I don't want to give spoilers for those that haven't read this， but I will say I was so excited to finally reveal the spy and uncover what has been going on in Kingmakers。 We also got a brand new female character who's born of the sea， wild and untamed。 I adored her fighting spirit and the way she's completely herself， no matter what others think。 Of course we also kept up with the other characters from Kingmakers， as well as a couple from Lark's previous series。 If you haven't read the Underworld books， you definitely should before jumping into this！ I was ecstatic to see more Gallos， Griffins， and Wilks and I hope they are featured in future stories because I'm not ready to let go。These books have been an adventure and led me to a whole community of Lark readers。 I'm so happy I discovered these wonderful people and have made connections that hopefully will last for a long time to come。 This is more than just reading and I thank Sophie for bringing us together！ 。。。more
