Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (4.5/5) If THE PREDATOR made you obsessed and THE EMPEROR wrecked you, THE FINISHER will leave you feral. Runyx takes us into fresh territory with Alessandro “Alpha” Villanova and Zephyr, proving once again why the Dark Verse series reigns supreme in dark romance. This book expands the DV universe beautifully - new location, new dynamic, same danger and allure we love. And those plot twists? Runyx, stop hurting us (but don’t actually stop). 😭 🔥 What Makes It Shine: ✔ Marriage of convenience ✔ Amnesia (done SO well!) ✔ Grumpy x Sunshine ✔ Groveling MMC ✔ Deliciously spicy tension 💀 Alpha Villanova: Massive. Broody. Sinful. A grumpy cinnamon roll wrapped in dominance and tenderness. His amnesia arc? Hooked me. His protective streak for Zephyr? Swoon. That infamous “hipbone-breaking” passion? Only Runyx could make THAT hot. 🥵 🌸 Zephyr: Our bubbly, sassy sunshine queen. She hides grief behind humor, embraces her quirks, and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Her patience, intelligence, and yes - making Alpha grovel - cement her as one of the best FMCs in dark romance. 💞 Romance & Spice: This is slow-burn, character-driven perfection. Their dynamic - his growly possessiveness vs. her playful warmth - had me giggling one page and melting the next. And the spice? Top-tier, emotional, and scorching. ✨ Why It Stands Out: • Unique couple & chemistry • Emotional depth with banter • Seamless plot-romance balance • Expanded Dark Verse worldbuilding • Runyx’s unmatched writing versatility Final Verdict: THE FINISHER isn’t just dark romance - it’s addictive, emotional, and utterly satisfying. If you love grumpy x sunshine, protective MMCs, bold FMCs, sizzling tension, and twisty danger, this is it. 💀🔥 Dark Verse keeps getting better. Shadowman? We’re waiting. #TheFinisher #DarkVerseSeries #RunyxBooks #AlessandroVillanova #Zephyr #GrumpySunshine #MarriageOfConvenience #DarkRomance #SpicyReads #BookReview #RomanceWithPlot #Bookstagram
