A New Empire

A New Empire A Fog City Novel

Layla Reyne2019
Legacies were made to be rewritten. Assassin Hawes Madigan wants to do right--by his family, his organization, his city, and the man he's falling for, ATF agent Christopher Perri. But Hawes's rules are being challenged by someone willing to kill for the old ways. To save his soul and his empire, Hawes must make an impossible decision: fight from the outside or bend the knee to win back his throne from within. Chris is used to being the inside man, the one undercover. Now, he's on the outside marshaling forces in support of the man and the ring of assassins he was supposed to take down. His mission shifted when he found something that's been missing for ten long years--a home, with Hawes. As Hawes and Chris make a dangerous play for control, the lines between allies and traitors blur. Trusting the wrong person could destroy the legacy Hawes envisions for the Madigans. But not trusting anyone, or each other, could mean lights out on their love and lives forever. The King and King Slayer fight together in this thrilling conclusion to the Fog City Trilogy!

Maybe more of a 3.5. This was a good finale with lots of drama and angst but it was also pretty predictable (not that I minded it much). I raced through it in just a few hours and had fun. I have somehow never felt very connected to these characters like I did with the characters from the Irish and Whiskey or Trouble Brewing trilogies by this author. So, the best part in this book was seeing my favorites from those older series showing up for little cameos or just being mentioned. Totally made me wanna reread them. Also couldn’t stop laughing at the dedication page of this book. I love my lovable assassin Ethan too 😍😍 The author mentioned that there would be spinoffs of Fog City. I can guess whom they are going to be about and while I feel pretty uninterested right now, I’ll probably read them too. However, I really wish the author would write spinoffs for Lauren or Garrett instead.
