I don't know if it was worth it. I enjoyed the time I had with this series but I also understand I was really eager to finish it as soon as possible. I started and finished this series because the reviews told me it was worth it. All things considered, I think this is mostly because the series deals with two very known tropes, namely Enemies to Lovers (on top of that, it's M/M) and Found Family, which was the first book I read on it.
The book's writing is sharp and very good. I, however, started noticing a lot of things seemed to be mulled over and over again, to the point I felt like the book was stalling. This series thrives on sharp dialogue and a plot that's always moving, so those moment always feel like stuff was taking longer to happen because Neil hadn't mulled over a lot of it yet.
The author has VERY GOOD WRITING for dialogue. I ate that shit up, just like I did the main squad. At this point, the antagonists felt like a sort of caricature. Books one and two made me understand why they did what they did, but I guess I didn't like that the threats started to feel really hollow but not in a satisfying way.
Either way, I love Neil with all my heart, as I do Renee, Andrew and Wymack. I do not regret reading any word from this series.
