Review

4.5 stars!

The final book in the Cruel Trilogy is here and it does not disappoint! Cruel Legacy gives us more of everything we love about the trilogy! More games, secrets, and surprises. More lies, angst, and heartache. It’s intense, consuming, and clever, and will twist your heart as the story unfolds then fill it with love giving us an amazing conclusion to Penn and Natalie’s story.

The end of Cruel Fortune reveals some twisted surprises that ruin everything Natalie has worked so hard to accomplish. Now she is ready for vengeance as we are thrown back into the world of the Upper East Side and the Crew.

I was being pieced back together out of order. Into a deep, dark, vengeful version of the Natalie I had been. The one that said I was ready to burn this city to the ground, and nothing would stop me.

Natalie is strong, brave, and full of determination. She is in control as she stands on her own. She wants to make the people who tore her down and ruined her life to pay for their actions. She is in full on revenge mode as she takes on the Upper East Siders.

Penn wants Natalie. He’s always only wanted Natalie. He will do anything to keep her, including teaching her how to fit in when all he wants is to get out. Soon people are seeing the new Natalie and the tables are turning.

The progression of the story is well-paced and believable. There are turns I didn’t see coming, decisions that made me cringe, and characters that made me want to scream. But we see “Karma at its finest” and I loved that way things played out. Was every decision the right one? No. Did the characters make mistakes? Of course. Was there a whole lot of character growth by the end? Heck yeah, and I loved every single part, even the ones that broke my heart.

It’s not all black and white when it comes to Natalie and the Upper East Siders. There are surprising vulnerabilities and insecurities that have been hidden for so long that are well-written. I loved watching the characters acknowledge their flaws and wrongdoings as they grow. The changes Natalie goes through, including the ups and downs and the heartache and pain, is necessary. We also see all of Penn’s layers as he is stripped down by his honestly. I loved seeing how his character developed through the trilogy.

The emotion in this story is tangible and the love is fierce. I adored Penn and Natalie together. They go through so much heartache before they can be together and Penn sticks with her even when their relationship is tested.

This is just me. I’m not perfect. I’m still working on me. And I’ll probably fuck it up again, Nat, but I’m willing to try with you. For you.”

Overall, Cruel Legacy is a fantastic conclusion to the wonderfully twisted, emotionally captivating Cruel Trilogy.
