“In Wild Justice, Nadia is confronted with her most difficult task to date: going after the man who killed her cousin Amy twenty years prior. But when it turns out that someone else has gotten to him first, she is drawn into a complex situation where everything she knows and loves is thrown into the path of danger. Nadia is forced to take matters into her own hands, ultimately requiring her to confront her darkest secrets—and her deepest desires—in a way that she never thought possible.”

This was the third (and final) volume of the Nadia Stafford series. I thought it was an excellent conclusion to this mystery/thriller series. I really enjoyed this whole series a lot and loved how this book wrapped up. Only complaint is that I feel like the ending was a bit rushed.

In this volume Nadia is finally forced to confront her past when Jack hunts down the man that killed Nadia’s childhood friend Amy. Unfortunately for Nadia someone gets to her friend’s killer first and Nadia is left trying to figure out how Amy’s death is wrapped into a much bigger mystery.

I zipped right through this book and had a tough time putting it down. I loved all the mystery, action, and suspense. This is also the book where Nadia and Jack finally start to sort out their relationship issues; this was both painful and absolutely awesome to read through.

I enjoyed how things were tied up in a hopeful and realistic way. The ending does feel a bit rushed; a ton happens in the last couple chapters.

Overall this was a fantastic conclusion to the Nadia Stafford series. I really enjoyed this high octane series about a hit woman who is trying to lead a dual life. It’s a bit different from other mystery/thrillers I have read and I really enjoyed it. Armstrong has become a go to author for me, she rarely disappoints and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.
