Synopsis:
The unpredictable truth will be revealed in Payback, the stunning conclusion to Kristen Simmons’ Edgar-nominated thriller series that started with The Deceivers...
Brynn Hilder has conned a lot of people. From the spoiled rich kids of Sikawa City to her mom's loser ex-boyfriend, from a motorcycle gang to a senator's son. If there was money to be gained, or a secret to uncover, she figured out how to get it done. And thanks to Vale Hall and its director, Dr. David Odin, she's found a family of hustlers just like her.
Together, Brynn and her friends have overcome doubt, deceit, and betrayal to unearth the truth--a truth even a group of professional scammers couldn't have predicted.
And now they must tackle the biggest con artist of them all: the man who brought them all together.

My Thoughts:
This was a satisfying ending to this drama filled trilogy. I could see the growth in writing as I read this book. The stakes were a bit higher, I felt more thrills as the mysteries continued and the characters were all so dynamic and well written. This gives a lot more romance which was well-written as well!!
I still loved seeing the gang at Vale Hall and the family that they had, but I loved me some Brynn even more. She goes headfirst into getting payback. I loved how she has grown as a person and in her con-artistry. She is absolutely amazing!
If you are looking for a fun, drama-filled YA mystery with a bit of humor and good romance, I'd say definitely give this trilogy a solid go. You won't be disappointed.
