Legends rise.

Assassin Hawes Madigan wants to do right by everyone who’s counting on him.
His family, his organization, his city, and most of all, the man he's falling for… an ATF agent.
Should he fight from the outside or bend the knee to win back his throne from within?
If he wants to save both his soul and his empire, Hawes must make an impossible decision.

Legends fall.

Christopher Perri is used to being the inside man, the one undercover.
His mission shifted when he found something that's been missing for ten long years—a home.
Now he's on the outside, marshaling forces in support of the man and the ring of assassins he was supposed to take down… and praying for a miracle.

And legacies were made to be rewritten.

As Hawes and Chris make a dangerous play for control, the lines between allies and traitors blur.
Someone is willing to kill to protect the old ways.
Trusting the wrong person could destroy the Madigan legacy.
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!

Creative Deeds Reads Review

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2020

Sometimes there's a really fine line between good and bad. I think that's why I fall for "bad guys" in books more often than not. There's no way that people should view an assassin as a "good guy", but that's exactly what Hawes is - or at least what he's trying to be.

Hawes and Chris have come a long way since they first met in Prince of Killers. Their relationship took another turn in King Slayer and now all their cards are on the table. At least most of them.

On the surface, it seems crazy to sympathize with an assassin, but given Hawes' situation, it was impossible not to. He was betrayed by someone he should have been able to trust. Someone who should have wanted to protect him, instead of destroy him. My heart broke for him in more than one situation, but he did have a few people he could trust with no question.

Chris had his own baggage that he needed to sort through and his situation was no less heartbreaking than Hawes'. These were two people who found each other at just the right time. Even if they were totally clueless in the beginning.

A New Empire was the perfect ending to the Fog City series. And... even though it's the end, I hope that we get to see some of these characters again. This would probably be a good time to mention that this is not where you should start because A New Empire is definitely NOT a standalone. These characters (all of them) go through a lot to get to this point. So yeah, start with Prince of Killers. Since that one ends in a jaw-dropping cliff hanger, you're lucky that you can then immediately pick up King Slayer. You're welcome!

Final book in Dante and Hawes' story.

More ups and downs and 😳 but damn was the ending perfect and I didn’t see it coming at all. And NO CLIFFHANGER.
These two characters' chemistry is amazing and the amount of twists and turns in this one was insane.
It leads into the final books, wrapping up Hawes' siblings stories though, so on to those! I'm addicted!

Definitely a fast favorite.

Okay, yes. Hi. Hello. This is a new favorite series and I foresee many rereads in my future.
The plot tension was on point and I never wanted to stop reading. Love love love the Madigans so much. Chris and Hawes are the most adorable couple ever and I adore them. Can't wait to see what's in store for Helena and Holt!

I have been with Miss Layla Reyne through her Irish and Whiskey series and her Trouble Brewing series. I loved Jamie and Aiden and Cam and Nic and all of the other characters in these stories. Now even more, I have to add Hawes and Chris to my growing list of favorite characters by Layla. I feel like I’ve been on a journey, a whirlwind ride, an exciting, explosive, exhilarating ride with all of these characters she has brought to life. I absolutely cannot say enough about all of these series. And this final one was just the icing on the cake. I keep thinking that the next series will never top the last. And it keeps on happening! It just keeps happening! I am so looking forward to more words in the future by Layla Reyne. If you’ve never read a word and must start somewhere start at the beginning...with Irish and Whiskey and then don’t stop reading until you reach the final Fog City story right here. I promise you you will not be disappointed! This is an auto-buy and a must read author to me! I applaud you Layla!!

Great ending to the series

I've been champing at the bit for this book since I finished the second in the series, and am so grateful to have read it. It's so hard to review this without giving away spoilers, but I've gathered enough of my thoughts to put a few things out there:
- there's a satisfying ending to our MCs stories in this book
- the pacing of this book is just as fast (if not faster) than the earlier books in the series
- there are some awesome cameos that left me squealing with joy
- my two favorite characters in this series seem set up to get their own spin-off (please, Layla, I'm begging here, from down on my knees)
Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. As always, Reyne's dialogue sparks on page, and the heat between Hawes and Dante is incredible. I'm sad this series is over, but can't wait to see what's coming next!

I loved this book! I loved the resolution in this book and how expertly the storylines were wrapped up. Dante/Chris and Hawes were fantastic as always and I hope we see more of them in the last two books of the series! I love that Helena and Holt will get their HEA too!

Exciting capper to a great series.

Reyne is a master of putting layers of trust on top of mistrust like a cake for us to cut through! She shows real skill at flipping what you think you know onto its ear. I have to admit though, that some revelations were so abrupt that I had to read them over a few times to make sure I got what just came to light. I still preferred her fast, smart pace to some action books that wallow in the angst. I tore through all three in a week.

Brilliant conclusion for Dante & Hawes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 31, 2021

“Is that enough for you?”
“You’re enough for me.”

Wheeeew. The adrenaline. The every time I thought I was on solid ground and then another twist and not sure whether to trust it or not.

I'm so glad we got both POV's. I needed that. Also, think it really helped I read one after the other. I was hooked and could not stop reading, couldn't read fast enough!

Just an observation but I was halfway through this book before realising the Madigan siblings were not the only ones with names that begin with the same letter. Lol.

I am dyinnng for Holt & Kane's book. So much.

Also, I can't believe how much Wheeler snuck up on me. I am absolutely that person that falls in love with secondary characters as soon as we meet them lol but I wasn't expecting to with him but I will protect him at all costs. Need his book. Love him already.

If I stopped to think about it I'd probably wish for more Dante & Hawes. Just them. But I also appreciate how that couldn't really work because of the arc of this story and it would have seemed forced. I enjoyed this trilogy immensely and I enjoyed getting lost in books like that. So good for the soul.

Onto Celia & Helena's book next

Stunning conclusion to this excellent crime caper romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 22, 2019

I honestly didn’t think Layla would go there but she did and while this will be a no spoilers review, let’s just say hold onto your hats because the action is all-encompassing.

I was sold by two minutes into reading this book when a certain kick-ass, take no prisoners person arrived on page, followed shortly by another quick guest appearance from another of my fave Layla characters.

This book was going to be all ends up awesome and it delivered in spades. From the first moments when Hawes is dealing with what went down at the end of book two, through to the four months later epilogue at the end, this is all I wanted it to be.

Hawes and Chris are better than ever, finally realising they’ve met the one other person they can truly rely on.

There’s schemings, a jailbreak that wouldn’t be out of place on screen in a big Ocean’s Eleven style heist movie, there’s all the usual suspects turning up - with one bringing a secret I would never have guessed in a million years.

And, at the heart of it, are the three Madigans. Hawes, Holt and Helena, proving that family comes first in everything.

I absolutely LOVED this book and I love how it really felt like three episodes in a long-running action-adventure with cliffhangers and to be continued plot lines dropping all over.

Now bring on the spin-offs and let’s get Holt and Kane sorted out please Layla (and I’d love to see Helena and Celia explore that interesting family dynamic too!)

(Over-excited gushing and total fangirling over a certain kick-ass character is all my own work.)

Fine End to One of the Best Series This Year

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 12, 2019

*4.5 stars*

A New Empire gives us a wild ride to the conclusion of Chris & Hawes' story arc. There's a ton of suspense & intrigue, especially where our main characters are faced with questions about who they can trust. What really comes through, though is the strengthening bonds of their relationship & the themes of trust & loyalty.

This book is almost a 5-star read for me, but I would have liked a bit more balance between strategising & action. That said, I felt A New Empire was a more than fitting end to the Fog City trilogy & I was delighted to read we may see some spin-offs in the future. I'm keeping everything crossed that Holt & Kane will be first up...

A little underwhelming for me...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 28, 2019

3.5 stars rounded up. Fell a little flat really cos I'd already worked out who was behind everything in book 2 [fist bumps 👊👊👊] but kudos to the author for making this final instalment interesting at least. The ruminants digestive system 🐮🐮🐮 was alive and well, full of twists and turns. Luckily, Hawes and his siblings did have people who trusted them enough to see the job through.

Still a little puzzled by the interest shown in Kane's tattooed arm...but maybe that's something to sort out in the spin-offs that will no doubt appear.

Justice at last

An absolutely wonderful conclusion to this superb series. There’s so much going on and I did guess who was out to eliminate Hawes. With traitors coming at them left and right, both Chris and Hawes had one hell of a fight on their hands to save their city and their family. Th8s is a series not to be missed
